CSV to Excel, explained

Turn a .csv or .tsv export into a proper .xlsx: the first row becomes a frozen header with filters, numbers are stored as numbers and the columns are sized to fit.

What is converted, and how

Header row
The first line, in bold on a blue fill, frozen while you scroll and with filters on.
Numbers
Plain numbers such as 42 or -3.5 become numbers you can calculate with.
Leading zeros
Values such as 0042 or postcodes stay text, so the zeros are kept.
Formulas
Cells that start with =, +, - or @ are stored as text, so a CSV can't slip a formula into your workbook.
TSV
Tab-separated files work the same way: open a .tsv or choose TSV under From.

Limitations

  • Fields must be separated by commas (CSV) or tabs (TSV). Files that use semicolons, as Excel does in some countries, end up in a single column.
  • The file must be UTF-8. Numbers with thousands separators, currency or percent signs, and dates stay text.
  • Up to 512 KB.

Tips

  • Need the data in a report instead? A CSV converts to a Word table, a PDF or a Markdown table too.
  • The file is converted in an isolated, temporary workspace on our server and deleted as soon as the result has been sent back. It is never stored or logged.
