How to use this office tool

  1. Choose a sheet, a postal-code column, and a country rule. Process the workbook to add a Postal Code Status column and export the annotated data.
  2. Review the limited preview and status summary.
  3. Download the newly generated result and verify it before replacing any working file.

What this tool does

Postal codes are checked as text so leading zeroes are retained. Each row is labeled Valid, Invalid, or Blank; no value is silently deleted.

Browser workflow: parse → validate codes → preview → create a new output Blob.

The original file is never overwritten, and no file contents are uploaded by this page.

Supported formats

XLSX, XLS, CSV, and TSV are supported. Validation checks syntax only and does not confirm that an address or postal code exists.

FormatUse
XLSX / XLSWorkbook input
CSV / TSVDelimited table input or output
JSONOptional result export

Tips for better results

  • Keep a backup of the original workbook.
  • Use a clear, single-row header when possible.
  • Check identifiers and leading zeroes after export.
  • For large files, close other memory-heavy browser tabs first.

FAQ

Does validate postal code column upload my workbook?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser. The page does not send workbook contents to a server.

Will validate postal code column overwrite the original file?

No. The tool creates a separate download, so your selected source file remains unchanged.

What happens to formulas when I use this tool?

Formula handling depends on the operation. Formula-inspection tools retain formula text, while rebuilt data outputs may not preserve every Excel feature.

Can this tool handle large spreadsheets?

It checks file size and limits the on-page preview. Very large or complex workbooks may still exceed the browser’s available memory.

Why should I review the downloaded validate postal code column result?

Browser spreadsheet libraries cannot preserve every advanced Excel object. Open the output and verify important values, formats, and business rules before relying on it.
