If there were spreadsheets for Tallahatchie County, Panola County, Marshall County, and Carroll County, I would use them occasionally. I'm working primarily on Yalobusha, but sometimes that leads to work on surrounding counties. For example, today I created a profile for Peter Curtis and Rachel Young who married 1866 in Yalobusha. In 1870 and 1880 they are in Tallahatchie. Unfortunately, In 1880 the name is recorded as Carter and the marriage record is not indexed, so whoever ends up working on this someday is going to have a bit of a time connecting Peter Carter to Peter Curtis and Rachel Young. I'm sure putting spreadsheets together is a lot of work, but they would be used at least some.
