Hi,

Well firstly, the problem you are facing is that you are using Excel,  Its a simple as that really.  Over the last 20-30 years or so some very clever people have been developing tools specifically designed for tasks like these, they are called databases.  Now what you are asking to do is to have Excel do the same as this, even though it was not designed for such a thing.  So, you first need to decide where the processing for this would take place, you can either keep a SAS import of the spreadsheet, import any new data, check updates, then export the data out again, or use VBA macros in Excel.  Either way you will be basically writing code to emulate the various functions of a database.  I.e. you mention that there will be updates.  What does this entail, new records, deleted records, updated records.  What identifiers are in place so that you can identify unique records.  What audit trail functionality would need to be in place.  What user access is necessary.  If you are in my industry and this is used for critical data then you need to read up on CFR-part 11 compliance etc.

My suggestion, drop Excel as its useless.  Start out by identifying what you want to acheive, what is available as a tool to over the task.  Speak to your IT about current implementations etc.  Unless you go through proper channels of SDLC, implementation, and using correct guidelines, all you will end up with is an unstable, unvalidated tool which will cause you more headaches along the line.
