I work with datasets containing 50,000+ rows and frequently encounter slow loading times and formula recalculation delays in Google Sheets. I’ve tried splitting the data across multiple tabs and reducing the use of volatile functions like ARRAYFORMULA, but performance is still a bottleneck.
Here’s a summary of my setup:
Approx. 50,000 rows and 20 columns per sheet.Common functions: VLOOKUP, IMPORTRANGE, QUERY, ARRAYFORMULA.Heavy use of conditional formatting.
Are there specific techniques or best practices I should follow to improve performance? Should I consider alternatives like Apps Script, or is there an integration with BigQuery that can keep my workflow in Google Sheets?
Any advice or examples from your experience would be greatly appreciated!"
