Validate your CSV.

Check headers, row shape and common structural problems first. Then move to CSV Profiler when you need reusable business rules, composite keys and an auditable pass or fail.

01 · How it works

Three steps, then done.

Before you load a CSV into a database or send it to a colleague, confirm that its table structure is readable. This validator scans for common structural and inferred issues — missing cells, apparent type mismatches, duplicate rows, entirely empty columns, and blank or auto-named headers. For an explicit pass/fail against your own required, unique, range, pattern, allowed-value and business-key rules, continue to the CSV Data Profiler after this check.

03 · FAQ

csv validate questions.

What gets checked?
Missing values (per column and total), type mismatches in numeric or date columns, duplicate rows, columns that are entirely empty, duplicate header names, and blank or auto-generated headers like 'column_3'.
High: data probably can't be loaded as-is (duplicate headers, lots of missing values). Medium: would cause downstream confusion (type mismatches, blank headers). Low: cosmetic or recoverable (a few missing cells, empty columns, mild duplicates).
For columns we detect as dates, we re-parse each value. Anything that doesn't parse is flagged.
Use the related tools: deduplicate, sort+filter, or open the dashboard for calculated columns + role overrides. The validator points at problems; the other tools fix them.
Use CSV Profiler when you need a reusable data-quality contract, composite business-key checks, explicit required/type/unique/range/pattern/allowed-value rules, row-level failure evidence, and a portable audit report.
