Normalize currency symbols, thousands separators, and inconsistent numeric strings before importing data into BI or ops tools.

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 number formats break sorting, numeric imports, and spreadsheet formulas.
  • CleanCSV can detect columns that mix currency strings, commas, and plain numbers.
  • Automatic normalization helps downstream tools treat values as numeric data again.

How CleanCSV handles it

  1. Upload a file with mixed numeric formatting.
  2. Review the columns flagged for inconsistent numeric strings.
  3. Apply the number-format cleanup and export the standardized file.

FAQ

Which numeric patterns can CleanCSV standardize?

The current fix removes currency symbols, commas, spaces, and accounting-style negatives from numeric strings.

Does this convert percentages?

Not automatically. Percent values are skipped to avoid changing their meaning.
