Basically the difference is with a SQL database you have way more options for how to create, manage & interact with the data.

Spreadsheets are great for sharing snapshots of data, and there's a level of automation you can build into them, but the scale of what you can do goes up dramatically when your data is in a proper database instead of just an excel file.
