Add acalculated column

Write an arithmetic expression over your numeric columns and append the result as a new column - entirely in your browser.

01 · How it works

Three steps, then done.

Paste your CSV, write a formula that references columns by name, and download a new file with the computed column appended. Nothing is uploaded - every calculation runs locally in your browser.

1

Load your CSV

Drop in or paste your file. The tool profiles every column and detects which ones are numeric so you can reference them by their exact header name.

2

Write the formula

Enter an expression like price * qty - discount. Use + - * / and parentheses for grouping. Reference any column by its exact name; wrap names with spaces in backticks. Name the output column whatever you like.

3

Download the result

The new column is appended to every row. Rows where an operand is missing, non-numeric, or divided by zero are left blank so bad data never produces garbage. Export clean RFC-4180 CSV.

02 · Why ours

Why use thiscalculated column tool

A spreadsheet formula without the spreadsheet - safe, fast, and private.

  • 1

    No formula injection

    The expression is parsed by a small recursive-descent evaluator - never eval or Function. Your formula can only do arithmetic over your columns, nothing else.

  • 2

    Bad data stays blank

    Non-numeric cells, missing values, and division by zero yield a blank cell for that row instead of NaN, Infinity, or a thrown error - so the rest of your file stays usable.

  • 3

    Exact-name column references

    Reference columns by their precise header text. Names containing spaces or symbols work too - just wrap them in backticks like `unit price`.

  • 4

    Fully private

    All parsing and computation happen in your browser. No upload, no account, no server ever sees your rows. Close the tab and the data is gone.

03 · FAQ

calc column questions.

How do I reference a column in the formula?
Use the column's exact header name, e.g. price * qty. If a column name contains spaces or operator characters, wrap it in backticks: `unit price` * 1.2. Names are case-sensitive and must match the header exactly.
Addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), unary minus, and parentheses for grouping. Standard precedence applies: * and / bind tighter than + and -.
If any operand in a row is missing, blank, or not a number, that row's calculated cell is left blank. Division by zero also produces a blank cell. Your other rows are unaffected.
No. The tool is 100% client-side. Your CSV is parsed and computed entirely in your browser - nothing is sent to a server, and there is no account or tracking of your data.
Not in this tool - it supports pure arithmetic over columns (+ - * / and parentheses) for safety and predictability. For row-wise aggregates across columns, combine columns in one expression; for group aggregates use the Group By or Pivot tools.
