How to use this text tool

What this tool does

CSV safety requires correct quoting and protection against spreadsheet formulas that can execute when a file is opened.

Fields are quoted when needed, double quotes are escaped, formula-leading cells are detected, and row/column counts are reported.

CSV dialects vary by software. Always test import behavior with your target spreadsheet or database tool.

Example

Input cell: =SUM(A1:A2) → Output cell: '=SUM(A1:A2)

Use cases

  • Preparing CSV exports for clients
  • Reducing Excel formula injection risk
  • Fixing broken comma-separated fields
  • Checking row and column structure

Tips for better output

  • Escape cells beginning with =, +, -, or @ before sharing CSV files.
  • Quote fields containing commas, quotes, or line breaks.
  • Use the delimiter expected by the receiving software.
  • Preview row and column counts before import.
