Picture List in Excel

The Task

Create a spreadsheet that keeps track of information relating to pictures that you are keeping on your computer. For now, you can keep it simple.

Notes

This is another fairly simple exercise that should open options in the future.

I personally prefer to use a local installation of Microsoft Excel. Microsoft has a free web-based version at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps/

Google also has a free web-based spreadsheet that can be found at https://drive.google.com/
 

Feel Free to Comment

Try to find your own unique approach and share what you are doing in the comments section. These comments can help you and others find new ideas to explore. If you are desperate enough and can't figure out how to accomplish this task, you can always ask.

I do not provide space to those who visit my blog. If you would like to share any files, you are going to have to find your own online storage. At that point, you can provide links with your comments. I would like to point out that macros can create security risks. If possible, save all documents as a standard workbook (not macro-enabled) unless macros are vital to your solution. If you are going to download any solutions, make sure that you are not loading macros by default. If a spreadsheet includes macros, check the code before running them.

Follow-up

A follow-up to this exercise has been posted.
