How to use Convert CSV Rows to a List
- 1. Paste your CSV. Drop the comma-separated rows into the input pane. The tool will pull out the values of whichever rows you specify and lay them out one per line.
- 2. Choose which rows to list. Enter 1-based row numbers in the Rows field, separated by commas, or leave it empty to list the values of every row across the whole table.
- 3. Copy the list. Copy the resulting one-value-per-line list and paste it wherever you need a specific row's contents pulled out, such as a quick reference or a form's default values.
When to use Convert CSV Rows to a List
Convert CSV Rows to a List extracts the values from one or more chosen rows of a CSV and lists them out one per line, ignoring the rest of the table. Reach for it when a single record's fields matter more than the full dataset.
- Pulling one record's fields for a form. You need to manually enter one customer's details into a web form and it's easier to have each field on its own line than to read across a wide CSV row.
- Quoting a specific record in a support ticket. A bug report references row 42 of an export, and listing its values individually makes it easy to paste each field into a ticket description clearly.
- Comparing two rows field by field. You suspect two rows in an export are duplicates with small differences. Listing each row's values separately makes a line-by-line comparison much easier than scanning across columns.
