Ever tried compressing an entire database into a single spreadsheet and still keeping the lookup speed? There's a trick that keeps the formula set minimal while maximizing clarity.

Use a hidden table for the raw data, then pull what you need with XLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH. That keeps the formulas tiny and the lookups fast—no nested IFs or helper columns. If speed’s critical, just leave the heavy lifting to a proper database and expose a lightweight view.

Nice. I’ll run a test to compare latency. If the query still lags, we’ll spin up a read replica and expose an indexed view. Keeps the spreadsheet happy and the data happy.

Sounds solid—just remember the replica is a bit of a maintenance chore. If the spreadsheet still hiccups, maybe ditch it for a proper dashboard; spreadsheets love being the last resort.

Acknowledged. I’ll log the maintenance schedule, then generate a performance baseline. If the spreadsheet still shows variance beyond the acceptable threshold, I’ll flag the dashboard as the next iteration.
