About CSV Validator Tool
Check a CSV file before importing it. Find rows with the wrong number of fields, missing required columns, invalid numbers and duplicate keys.
Check a CSV before importing it into another system. Paste your data or start with the built-in example. Choose the delimiter, specify which columns are required or numeric, and select a key column if each record should have a unique ID.
The results show the source row, column and issue, so you can find the problem in the original file. For example, a stock import can flag a duplicate item ID or a quantity entered as “pending”.
Free to use in your browser.
