Upload a messy spreadsheet

Supports CSV, TSV, XLSX, and XLS. Current plan: Free with files up to 1 MB and 5 analyses per day.

Why it matters

  • Mixed dates break sorting and filtering in spreadsheets, BI tools, and imports.
  • CleanCSV detects date patterns with rules before changing values.
  • Standardized ISO dates make downstream processing much safer.

How CleanCSV handles it

  1. Upload the CSV, TSV, or Excel file with date columns.
  2. Inspect the report to confirm which columns contain multiple date formats.
  3. Apply the date standardization fix and export the cleaned dataset.
