Drawbacks of using Google Sheets to create tables
While Google Sheets is a handy tool for most everyday data tasks, it does have its limitations.

Problems with large volumes of data : Slows down with thousands of rows, causes delays, and risks blocking during complex operations
Limited data processing power : Lacks advanced features for complex analysis, falls short in handling calculated fields, and can be ineffective for deep data understanding
Inconsistent PivotTable Updates – Doesn’t update in real time, confusing when data changes and raising concerns about accuracy. Cell and Formula Limits – Enforces a maximum of 10 million cells, restricts heavy data sets across all sheets and causes performance issues when limits are reached.
