Excel Report help

I am completing a Sample Assessment paper and I have successfully created a spreadsheet which includes names of books borrowed and when they are due back. My question now is: Use the database to create a report of the books that are overdue, as they would be due back on or before 01/04/2011.

How do I create a report showing this?
Thank you, Any help appreciated

It depends what you mean by a 'report'.

Obvious things that spring to mind are using:

filtering to extract the rows where the due date is before the date you are given;

advanced filtering to copy rows meeting the criterion to a separate location in the worksheet;

conditional formatting to highlight rows where the criterion is met


Are you familiar with techniques like this to highlight or extract data from a table in Excel?
