Here are a few trick for Excel users.
(This is part of the excel assessment book)
Freeze Panes.
Like in the basic facts test sheet I have frezzed the criteria at the top so you are able to scroll down the names but retain the criteria at the top. To do this you click on the column or row you want to lock and go to "VIEW", "FREEZE PANE" http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP012170481033.aspx?pid=CH100648381033
Adding colour coding.
Go to the "Home" (excel 2007) and look for "Conditional Formating" in there you can add in vales and their colour.
