Searchable table

I have a table for business processes which I would like to link one column which contains the title of the process to the corresponding document within a document library. Ideally this table would work like an excel file with autofilters to allow users that are unsure of the title to sort the data within a file. Is this possible?

    Just to add and to answer your question partially, In SharePoint all lists will provide filtering at the column level. So once you have your data populated, users will be able to filter data by selecting value at the column level. Just like how you do in Excel.

    Yes. It does sounds like Custom List in SharePoint. First go through the following Blog and post back any question you may have.

    You can also import your excel file (if you have Excel) into SharePoint. I prefer above method than importing given during the import process it will make certain assumptions.

    Thanks for your reply but I'm not I'm not sure what you mean. Ideally the data will work exactly like an excel file with an auto filter. If a user didn't know the name of the process they could filter the processes list by department or service area and then locate the one they wanted.

    You can create an add-in of type custom list with custom metadata which will match the column name in your table. Is this what you want to know?
