Spreadsheet tools

Most spreadsheet chores aren't hard, just slow: copying rows between files, hunting for the customer who appears twice, working out what changed since last month's version.

These tools read Excel and CSV files on your own computer and hand back a file you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.

  1. Turn a PDF bank or card statement into rows you can sort, filter and reconcile, checked against its balances.

    You bring: PDF statement. You get: Excel or CSV

  2. Stack several files into one sheet, even when their columns are in a different order.

    You bring: Two or more files. You get: One combined file

  3. Find repeated rows by the columns you choose and keep one of each.

    You bring: A list in Excel or CSV. You get: The list, deduplicated

  4. See which rows were added, removed or changed between two versions of a sheet.

    You bring: Old and new version. You get: Differences, highlighted

  5. Break one sheet into separate files by a column such as State or Sales rep, or by row count.

    You bring: One Excel or CSV file. You get: One file per group

From a PDF statement to a clean report

Each tool works on its own, and each one hands its file straight to the next.
