Learning to work with large data sets is like growing up: you start with spreadsheets, with fragile functions that break on any change to the data. Then you begin to crawl and maybe learn VLookups to join data together. Your data might be a hundred rows in a spreadsheet and works just fine. Your spreadsheet might scale up to a few thousand rows but it’s a little slow. Moving into larger data, you have hundreds of thousands of rows and it just won’t work.
