    alternatives to excel for large volume of data

    I have 500,000 rows of data on a sheet that is taking long time to process since there are some formulas and conditional formatting etc. also this data is forecasted to cross over 1 million rows in near future. I know excel does not support anything in excess of million so what are my options?

    Where should I store the database so I can only extract relevant information based on queries

    Please advise

    Thanks

    AFAIK PQ doesn't have limitation except RAM and HD

    What PowerQuery is? see here: Getting Started with PowerQuery (Get&Transform) in Excel

    correction: Power Query specifications
