Step-by-Step: Build Your CSV from Scratch
1. Plan Your Structure
Think about what data you need to collect. Each column represents a field (like Name, Email, Age) and each row represents a record.
2. Add Column Headers
Click on the header cells and enter your column names. Good headers are:
- Clear and descriptive (e.g., "First Name" not "FN")
- Consistent (use either spaces or underscores, but not both)
- Without special characters where possible
3. Add Rows
Click the "Add Row" button to add new rows. You can add as many rows as needed.
4. Enter Your Data
Click on any cell to start editing. Fill in your data row by row.
5. Generate & Download
Click "Generate CSV" to create the CSV format, then "Download CSV" to save it to your computer.

Tips & Best Practices
✓ Good Header Names
Use clear, consistent header names: "Customer Name" or "customer_name" (not "CN" or "Name1")
✓ Consistent Data Format
For dates, use YYYY-MM-DD format. For numbers, avoid currency symbols (use just the number).
✓ No Special Characters in Headers
Avoid @, #, %, &, etc. in header names. Use letters, numbers, spaces, and underscores only.
✓ Keep Data Consistent
If you have a "Status" column, use the same values (e.g., always "Active" or "Inactive", not "active", "Active", "A").
✓ Text with Commas
If a cell contains a comma, wrap it in quotes. But our tool handles this automatically when you download!
✓ Empty Cells are Fine
You don't need to fill every cell. Empty cells are exported as blank fields in your CSV.
