Create a simple, searchable contact manager with Excel. Storing and organizing contacts doesn’t always require specialized apps—Excel can handle it effectively. In this project, you’ll build a Phone Book in Excel, learning how to structure, manage, and search information in a clean and functional way. You’ll start by designing a worksheet with key fields such as Name, Phone Number, Email, Address, and Notes. Using Excel’s formatting tools, you’ll create a table that keeps data organized and easy to read. You’ll practice entering and editing records while ensuring consistency across all entries. Next, you’ll use Excel features to make the phone book dynamic. Sorting and filtering will allow you to quickly locate a contact by name, city, or any other detail. You’ll also learn to apply data validation to ensure correct formats for phone numbers and email addresses. Conditional formatting can be used to highlight important or frequently used contacts. By the end of this project, you will be able to: Design and format a professional contact list in Excel. Organize data in tables for easy management.
