What are some of the differences between Airtable and a simple spreadsheet?

Unlike a spreadsheet, Airtable fields (columns) have specific "types" that allow you to store rich content in each record. For example, a table can contain records (rows) with attachments, long text notes, checkboxes, and links to records in another table. Here's a brief overview of each field type you can use to make the perfect table for your use case: - Link to another record - Single line text - Long text - Attachment - Checkbox - Single select - Multiple select - Collaborator - Date (and time) - Duration - Phone number - Email - URL - Number - Currency - Percent - Rating - Formula/Rollup/Lookup/Count - Created Time - Autonumber - Barcode
