What is card group in Google Sheets?
Card Group is part of the Timeline view in Google Sheets, where tasks or events appear as cards on a date axis. Timeline vocabulary covers card fields, intervals, and how collapsed groups display.

Use Timeline view when a project plan or schedule reads clearer as dated cards than as a flat grid.
When to skip it
