This section discusses the operations that treat the contents of a cell range as database data, organized in rows and columns like a database table. These operations are filtering, sorting, adding of subtotals and importing from an external database. Each of the operations is controlled using a descriptor service. The descriptors can be used in two ways:

• Performing an operation on a cell range. This is described in the following sections about the individual descriptors.
• Accessing the settings that are stored with a database range. This is described in the section about database ranges.
