CSV Merger: Match Headers, Dedupe & Source Column

Merge multiple CSV or TSV files locally with union or strict headers, optional deduplication, a source filename column, preview and download.

Use the tool above, then review this deeper calculation.

Preview the exact merged table before export

Use the header, dedupe and source-column options above, then inspect schema differences and sample rows before downloading the same previewed merge.

CSV and spreadsheet boundaries

CSV has no universal schema or type system. Delimiter detection and type summaries are practical heuristics, while repairs create a new copy instead of silently altering the source. Excel conversion focuses on cell values and simple worksheets rather than promising perfect preservation of formulas, macros, charts, external links, formatting or every workbook feature.

Practical guide and verification

Inspect headers before appending rows

Two CSV files can look similar while using different header names or column order. Preview the header union and per-file differences before export so values do not silently land under the wrong field.

Choose strict or union mode intentionally

Strict mode is appropriate when every file is expected to have the same schema. Union mode is safer for real-world exports with optional columns because missing cells can remain blank instead of forcing columns into the wrong positions.

Deduplicate only when exact equality is meaningful

Exact row deduplication removes byte-equivalent field sets after parsing. It does not identify near-duplicates, spelling variants, repeated customers with changed details or records that require a key-based business rule.

Use the source column for auditability

When several exports are combined, retaining the original filename can make later troubleshooting much easier. It lets you trace an unexpected row back to the input file without reopening every source manually.

Preview before download

The v12.75 preview reports file counts, header differences, row counts and a sample of the exact merged output. Check that evidence before downloading, especially when delimiters, quoting, embedded commas or missing columns are present.
