Everything the AI Excel cleaner fixes for you

Finds the real header row

Report titles, export timestamps, and blank rows above the actual table are detected and stripped automatically. The AI also unifies Client Name, client_name, and CLIENT NAME into one consistent column name.

Removes duplicates intelligently

Exact copies are easy. The AI also catches fuzzy duplicates like Jon Smith vs John Smith at the same company, and keeps the most complete record instead of an arbitrary one.

Standardizes every format

Dates become one consistent format (ISO 8601), phone numbers are normalized (E.164), and currency values are unified, so sorting, filtering, and pivot tables finally work the way they should.

Fixes malformed entries

Emails buried in free-text cells, names with stray characters, inconsistent casing, and values in the wrong column are detected and corrected, so every field actually contains what its header promises.

Cleans CSV files the same way

Drop a .csv export from your CRM, database, or billing tool and clean it with the identical flow. You do not need Excel installed on your machine. Everything runs in the browser.

Free to try, no signup

The Free plan gives you 5 AI cleaning runs every 20 minutes for files up to 500 rows. That covers most everyday spreadsheets, and you don't need an account to start.

Ask for custom fixes in English

Use the AI Data Assistant to drop the three columns nobody needs, split full names, or rename a field, all in plain English. No formulas, no find-and-replace across 4,000 rows.

100% private processing

Your file is parsed locally in your browser with SheetJS and the backend is stateless. Nothing is persisted on our servers, which matters when the spreadsheet is full of client contact details.

No formulas or macros needed

Stop stacking TRIM, CLEAN, and VLOOKUP formulas or debugging someone else's macro. Clean the file yourself in one pass and get back to the actual work the spreadsheet was for.

Common Questions about Cleaning Excel Data

How do I clean messy Excel data online?
Upload the .xlsx or .csv file to DataSort and click Clean with AI.

It takes under a minute and needs no formulas.
Is the Excel cleaner free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 5 AI cleaning runs every 20 minutes for files up to 500 rows, with no signup needed to try it. Mid and Pro plans raise those limits to 5,000 rows and unlimited rows respectively, with unlimited AI operations.
What kinds of messes can the AI fix?
Wrong or duplicated header rows, junk rows above the real table, duplicate records (exact and fuzzy matches), mixed date formats, inconsistent phone number and currency formats, inconsistent casing, and columns whose names vary across the sheet. You can also ask the AI Assistant in plain English to apply custom fixes.
Do I need formulas, VBA, or Power Query?
No. DataSort runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install, no TRIM or VLOOKUP formulas to write, and no macro to enable. If you can drag a file, you can clean your Excel data.
Will cleaning change my original file?
No. Your original file stays untouched on your computer. DataSort works on a copy in your browser and gives you a new cleaned file to download, so you can always compare against the original.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. As a proud member of the Google for Startups Cloud Program, DataSort's infrastructure is built on enterprise-grade security. Files are processed securely in-memory, and we do not permanently store your uploaded spreadsheets on our servers.

How It Works: Technical Methodology

Google Gemini Integration

DataSort uses Google Gemini 2.5 Flash to read the semantic meaning of your columns instead of just pattern-matching. That is how it knows Client Name and Customer describe the same field, and why it can tell a junk row from a real record.

Privacy & Processing

We employ a stateless architecture. Files are parsed locally in your browser using SheetJS, and only the data chunks the AI actually needs are sent to the model. No file data is permanently stored on our servers.
