CSVA2Z User Manual
Overview
CSVA2Z is a powerful tool for uploading, editing, remapping, and exporting CSV files. It supports advanced editing, undo/redo, column remapping, merge previews, and streamlined data preparation for import into systems like Shopify or QuickBooks.
1. Uploading CSV Files
To get started:
- Click the file input labeled Select Input CSV to load your main CSV file.
- The headers and rows will automatically be parsed and displayed in an editable table.
- You can also optionally upload a secondary file labeled Select Output CSV Headers which determines how your headers will be remapped.
2. Editing Data
- All cells are editable via inline text inputs.
- Double-click any header cell to map it to a different output field using a dropdown menu.
- You can also type directly into any field to change its value.
Keyboard Navigation
- Use Arrow Keys to move between cells.
- Use Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+U to undo changes.
- Use Ctrl+Y/Ctrl+R to redo changes.
- Hold Shift + arrow keys to select and bulk update a column with a single value.
Mouse Selection
- Click and drag within a column to bulk update selected cells with the top cell's value.
3. Remapping & Export
- After editing, click Create to preview how the remapped CSV will look using the target headers.
- The preview is shown in a new table. You can cancel and return to editing anytime.
- Click Download to export the remapped CSV as
export.csv.
4. Merging CSVs
Use the Merge CSV button to combine multiple CSV files:
- Click Merge to open the popup window.
- Select two or more CSV files with identical headers.
- The tool will validate and combine rows into a single file.
- A preview is shown, and the result can then be exported.
- If headers don't match, you'll receive an error message indicating the issue.
5. Tips and Limitations
- Ensure consistent headers across merged files.
- Large CSVs (over 5,000 rows) may take time to render fully.
- Current merge functionality does not support fuzzy column matching or deduplication — headers must match exactly.
- Data is processed client-side. No files are uploaded to a server.
