# Defining a Database Range

You can define a range of cells in a spreadsheet to use as a database. Each row in this database range corresponds to a database record and each cell in a row corresponds to a database field. You can sort, group, search, and perform calculations on the range as you would in a database.

You can only edit and access a database range in the spreadsheet that contains the range. You cannot access the database range in the LibreOffice Data Sources view.

To define a database range

1. Select the range of cells that you want to define as a database range.

2. Choose Data - Define Range.

3. In the Name box, enter a name for the database range.

4. Click More.

5. Specify the options for the database range.

6. Click OK.
