I put out a small video today on why to choose airtable over spreadsheets for workflows. It covers a lot of basics if you are new to airtable as well.

Hope it's useful to some of you and would love any feedback!
Airtable is just database with a friendly interface. But spreadsheet is for numbers. It is still much easier to display data of numbers, calculate/manipulate them, create reports and charts. Spreadsheet wins in that case:-)
