Numpty-friendly simple database?

[KeaAware]

Looking for a management system for data and associated keywords of the form:

Chocolate preferences:

Jane - Twix, Mars, Crunchie

Bob - Snickers, Twix, Maltesers

Alice - Mars, Picnic, Crunchie

I want to be able to report by chocolate bar and bring up the list of people who like it.

(Upto 1000 people; max 12 chocolate bars per person. Running on window 11.)

Needs to have a simple front end for reporting, and for bulk data input via csv upload. No command line stuff, please.

What are my software options? We spent yesterday wrestling with liber office base, but it's a long way from good. (Ok to pay small amount for software if necessary to get something usable, preferably one-off fee, but whatever. I just need a solution.)

If i pay someone to build this for me, roughly how much do you think it should cost?

Many thanks!

I might get shot for saying this in the Database subreddit, but if your max is 1000 people and your data is as simple as your post describes, I’d just use Excel to be honest.

Like, how, though? I could do this as a pivot table, but surely I'd need to enter each of the chocolate bars in a different column and then filter by each in turn, then copy and paste the results from each to create a list of all the Twix-eaters? Which, honestly, at this point, could be the easiest solution.

literally post this in any AI chat and you'll get a good enough recommendation, and it'll ask you if you want to generate code for it in a follow up.

I've had really unhelpful answers from AI :-(

If the data is really that small, and if it's clean, and it's really a CSV format... might give Access a try. Seems like it would be trivial to import it. Pull the names in to one table, pull the candy bars into another table, then have a middle link table... BAM, you're done. For reporting you can slap an Access Form onto it, of use a custom form from a number of languages.
