Data in Excel rows and columns can be sorted, filtered, and totaled. In Excel 2003 there's a powerful and easy way to do these tasks, using the new List command. What's a list? Think of orderly rows of data such as addresses, names of clients or products, and quarterly sales amounts.

If you're familiar with Excel, you'll recognize some features in this course (AutoFilter arrows, for instance), but you'll see them applied to the data in a new and very convenient way.

Note    The new List command in Excel 2003 also makes it easy to share data with others by publishing the list to a server that is running Microsoft Windows® SharePoint® Services. That topic is not discussed in this course.
