Spreadsheet with database filters

Hi, everybody

First post here, so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong.

I'm using my Galaxy Tab for professional commercial purposes and my original historical database of sales is an Excel spreadsheet which I have in my computer. Now, I have been able to move this database to the Galaxy tab and open it with ThinkFree Office without any problem. However, there is a very basic fonctionality which is lacking in ThinkFree, and it's the database filter fonction that exists in Excel, you know, the funnel icon in Excel buttons. Given my Excel database is a database of sales, I absolutely must select all the rows referred to a customer and not the others, so when I phisacally view (on the Galaxy Tab) their repective sales with customers, they can't see what other customers have purchased. Does anyone know if there is any Android spreadsheet having this possibility? Thanks in advance.
 
I think there are other spreadsheet apps that have filters, but they're not free. Would you consider a database app? Take a look at Memento. Don't be fooled by its name or the simplistic description in the Market. It's a true flat database, and you can import from csv files.
 
Thought I could filter with 'DocumentsToGo', but no, I mixed it up with the sort feature ;)

But I have an app on my old phone which I used for reading MS Excel sheets on the phone.
So I had a look and in meantime the app has the filter feature!
But it isn't such easy thing like filtering an Excel sheet on the PC ;)

You could try it, the app is in Market as
'e-Droid-cell Pro'.
Yes, Pro is needed for the filter feature.
