# Import Spreadsheet Data

Storing data in a database ensures better scalability, security, and querying capabilities compared to spreadsheets.

PowerTable lets you import your spreadsheet data and transform it into a dynamic table app, seamlessly integrated with your preferred data store.

We have already demonstrated importing spreadsheet data to create our first PowerTable app. You can refer to [this section](https://docs.powertable.com/explore-powertable/powertable-product-tour/build-your-first-app) to know the steps.
