Frequently Asked Questions
Which formats check?
CSV structure: every row must match the header column count, and no cell may be empty. Issues list exact row numbers and column names.
Batch validation?
Paste the whole file to validate row by row with failure positions. Import pipelines gate on zero failures.
False failures?
Trailing commas and ragged rows change column counts — clean the source export rather than editing flagged rows by hand.
Do checked formats upload?
No — validation runs locally in your browser. Data never leaves your device.
How do I read a Row 3: 2 cols (expected 3) message?
Row numbers count the header as row 1, so Row 3 is the 2nd data row with 2 cells where 3 were expected. The Bad Cols preset demos exactly this; empty cells are flagged per column name.
