I manage all the information for every parcel in my city in Google Sheets. It is > 29k rows x dozens of columns and it is instantly interactive when I visit the bookmarked URL.
Do you work for local government? I’ve heard of cities using Excel for this but not Sheets (although I’m not surprised).
ya there is no way this isn't some local issue for something that small to take 12 seconds. my last job i force updated sheets with thousands of rows every 5 mins and it would just be like a quick 1 second blink to totally clear and replace all those rows with fresh data.
