An app with 130 columns? Is it feasible?

Hi Gliders

Has anyone made an app with over 100 columns and Google sheet as a data source? How is the performance of the app?

I want to make an app with almost 130 columns and most of these columns will include simple mathematical and if/else computations.

Need your feedback on whether an app with over 100 columns will impact the performance on speed or not.

Generally I think you are fine. I think there are several apps out there with well over 100 columns. I believe there are extenuating circumstances where you may have performance issues, but you won’t know until you try.

In reality I think that pales in comparison to the kinds of things @Darren_Murphy has done. I would actually read through the entire thread below to get a better idea of observations that a few of us have had.

App Performance (>10k row apps)

I think technically yes, but as I suggested it’s probably negligible in terms of impact on performance. I guess a much bigger factor would be what you subsequently do with those relations. For example, let’s say you create a relation to a table with 5k rows. And then you add a series of Lookup columns to fetch values via that relation. Then you might use the values from those lookups in a template, and then use that template to create another relation, and so on… All of this is going to create …

We have apps with thousands of columns.

I have apps with tens of sheets, with over 200 columns on each sheet… no problems there
