Spreadsheets aren't databases—stop using them like one

The limitations of spreadsheets are becoming increasingly apparent as data sets grow, with examples such as the UK's COVID-19 tracking spreadsheet running out of space and the inherent limits of file formats like XLS. In contrast, databases offer more scalability and flexibility, with features such as automated workflows, data validation, and relational connections that can save businesses from headaches and inefficiencies. As datasets become larger, switching to a database is no longer just about hitting technical limits, but also about adopting a better tool for the job, one that can provide cleaner querying and reporting, improved data integrity, and more efficient connections between data sets.
