There are a few occasions when you should not use BIN2DEC in Google Sheets. One instance would be when you are working with a large table of data. When you convert a column of data from binary to decimal, Google Sheets will automatically convert all of the data in the column. This can be time-consuming and may slow down your computer. Another time you should not use BIN2DEC is when you are working with data that is formatted in a different currency than your default currency. For example, if you are working in Euros but your default currency is set to US dollars, Google Sheets will automatically convert all of the data in the column when you use BIN2DEC. This can also lead to inaccurate results.
