Why Excel is Not a Database
Excel can handle small to medium-sized data sets. However, it is not designed to take significant and complex data sets that require the scalability and security of an accurate database.
-
Limited Data Size
Excel has a limit of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns, suitable for small to medium-sized data sets but not for large and complex data sets.
-
Limited Security
Excel has a different level of protection than a proper database. Excel files can be easily shared and edited, leading to data breaches and errors.
-
Limited Scalability
Excel can become slow and unstable as data sets grow, making working with large and complex data sets challenging.
-
Limited Customization
Excel allows for a different level of customization than an accurate database. For example, Excel does not allow for the creation of complex data structures like relational databases.
-
Limited Collaboration
Excel has different collaboration features than a true database. For example, Excel does not allow for concurrent editing or version control.
