Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between CSV and XLSX?

CSV is a simple text format that stores data as comma-separated values. XLSX is Excel's native binary format that supports formatting, formulas, multiple sheets, cell styling, charts, and advanced features. XLSX files are larger but much more powerful than CSV.

Will the XLSX file open in Excel?

Yes! The tool generates native Excel 2007+ XLSX files that open perfectly in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and all major spreadsheet applications. All formatting and features are preserved.

What does 'freeze header row' do?

Freezing the header row is an Excel feature that keeps the first row visible when you scroll down through large datasets. This makes it easy to see column names no matter where you are in the spreadsheet - very useful for long data tables.

How does auto-size column width work?

The tool measures the length of content in each column and sets the width accordingly, ensuring all data is visible without truncation. Column widths are capped at 50 characters to prevent excessively wide columns from single long values.

Can I add multiple sheets to the Excel file?

This tool creates a single-sheet Excel file. If you need multiple sheets, you can open the generated file in Excel and add more sheets manually, or convert multiple CSV files separately and combine them in Excel.

Does this preserve data types like numbers and dates?

Excel will automatically detect and format numbers, dates, and other data types when you open the file. The tool preserves all data as text during conversion, and Excel's auto-detection handles type conversion intelligently.
