Spreadsheets, like Microsoft Excel, are good at dealing with "cells", since they can be more free-wheeling in their calculations. Unfortunately, databases tend to be constrained much more to individual records (e.g., calculated field) or an entire field (e.g., a query or group), rather than just a subset of a field.

For example, I have a column that calculate average of previous 5 values of another column. Currently, I notice all the calculations are based on current records.
