About the CSV Delimiter Fixer

The CSV Delimiter Fixer is a specialized utility for data analysts, developers, and anyone who handles CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files. While "comma-separated" is in the name, many applications, especially in Europe, use semicolons (;) or other characters like tabs or pipes (|) as delimiters. This tool provides a quick and painless way to convert your data from one delimiter to another, ensuring compatibility with various software like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or database import tools. All processing happens instantly and securely in your browser.

How to Use the Tool

  1. Input Your Data: Paste your CSV content into the input box on the left.
  2. Select Delimiters: Choose the current delimiter of your data in the "From Delimiter" dropdown and your desired new delimiter in the "To Delimiter" dropdown.
  3. Convert: Click the "Convert" button. The tool will process your data and display the result on the right.
  4. Copy or Download: You can copy the converted data to your clipboard or download it as a new `.csv` file.

Common Use Cases

  • Excel Compatibility: Convert a standard comma-separated CSV into a semicolon-separated one for proper opening in regional versions of Excel.
  • Database Imports: Change a file's delimiter to match the specific requirements of a database bulk import script.
  • Data Standardization: Ensure all your CSV files use a consistent delimiter (e.g., commas) for easier processing in a data pipeline.
  • Fixing Export Issues: Correct data exported from a system that used an unconventional delimiter like a pipe (|).
