CSVed for Windows

User Reviews

• Excellent flat file DB editor!

  DynVDecember 5, 2015

  Pros

  Good in every way, it even has an extensive export tool.

  Cons

  It can be complicated. It's user-friendly for basic things but otherwise, a user is likely to ask him/herself how to do something. However there's nothing cryptic to it, there's no configuration file to manipulate, odd codes (ie: 2-3 letters labels) or formula to figure out.

  Summary

  I highly recommend this software. Users editing flat file DB are likely to not be beginners so I see no serious problem for its purpose. I would not rate it so high would it cost something, but since it's free...

• Great for large .csv files that crash excel!

  Dav_DaddyJuly 6, 2012

  Pros

  Works very, very well with large files. Very smooth at breaking up large files into manageable groupings.

  Cons

  Very limited when it comes to editing said files. Inability to merge 2 files

• awesome CSV editor!

  DynVMay 31, 2012

  Pros

  It works magic on CSV (comma-separated-values), really! There's very little to improve.

  Cons

  No way to insert a record directly in the data grid. The UI need a bit of work (to make it friendlier).

  Summary

  If anyone need to do some work on a CSV, I see no reason to not use this software ; unless they're very picky!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Dec 5, 2015<p/>I was unlogged as I made a review so without realizing I already made one.

• spectaularly slow and bulky

  hroptatyrNovember 7, 2011

  Pros

  there seem to be some features, but I don't think they're useful

  Cons

  very unintuitive slow, seems to sort by some columns by default memhog, a 300 MB file on disk uses up 3.1 GB of RAM a 600 MB file on disk doesn't work at all date conversion feature is too limited

  Summary

  Can't recommend. The problem is that there are seemingly loads of features in this software but they either don't work (e.g. the convert-a-date-column) or they're useless. Also, there seems to be a massive overhead when loading larger files, even though my system has 32 GB of RAM you can't even load a 600 MB file.

• Got lost with the overwhelming UI

  HumbleUserMay 30, 2011

  Pros

  Does so many complex thing, it hard to find the trees because of the forest.

  Cons

  Glutted with too many features, made it hard to know how it works and how it loads the data and where to find the basic functions. UI TOOO overwhelming to get use too, too many useless settings.

  Summary

  I did what to go through the stress of learning a new software product. Sorry but is got uninstalled in the first couple of minits.

• Does everything is says-wish all software was like this

  dink48May 16, 2011

  Pros

  Does everything you could want when it comes to manipulating and editing CSV files. If you have a large database in CSV, Excel can't handle it. This program handled a database I have of 5 million plus records with no problem!

  Cons

  Can't think of any.

  Summary

  If you manipulate large data files in CSV format - you need this.

• Used this when file too long for excel

  barnarddaleJune 12, 2010

  Pros

  I had log files that had more rows and/or columns than Microsoft Office could open. CSVed saved me! I used it extensively on files with more than 10,000 rows and dozens of columns. No problems.

  Cons

  Interface looks a bit dated, and there is a lot to learn. The icons are small and not intuitive unless you already know what they do.

  Summary

  Recommended for handling large files.

• Easy to Use, Does what I need

  flicknstockMarch 24, 2010

  Pros

  Very easy to open a csv file and view it. Column Jump nice feature

  Cons

  Default Color, but easy to change

  Summary

  I typically was viewing csv files in notepad++, but this makes everything so much easier. I haven't experience any issues with the code and am extremely happy with it. I've actually shared the tool with the rest of my team and everyone is happy with the tool. The default color is a little too much for me, but it appears that all options are available to customize. Bottom-line, if you view csv files through notepad or any other text editor you will be happy with this program.
