Common questions
Are regular expressions executed during replacement?
No. Find text is literal and case sensitive, and only the chosen column changes. CSV quoting is regenerated safely around modified cells.
How does Find and replace within a CSV column work?
Parse CSV, replace every exact case-sensitive occurrence in the selected column only, and serialize valid CSV.
What are the limits of Find and replace within a CSV column?
Browser-local processing. CSV uses one unique header row, at most 1,000 total input rows and 50 columns. Downloads escape spreadsheet formula prefixes.
How do I keep the full worksheet?
