Getting Started with RowLab
Clean a file in minutes — start with Quick Run, then save a reusable workflow
1
Quick Run first
Open Quick Run, pick a saved workflow (or try the sample cleanup), upload your CSV/Excel file, and hit Run. You get clean data and a receipt without opening the editor.
2
Build a Workflow
When you need a custom cleanup, create a workflow and add steps from the left panel — trim, filter, dedupe, and more. Each step does one job on your data.
3
Configure Steps
Click any step to configure its settings in the right panel. Select columns, set conditions, and customize behavior.
4
Run & Export
Click "Run" to execute your cleanup. Review the results, then export your clean data in your preferred format.
Tips & Best Practices
- Preview your data first - Check the Preview tab to understand your data structure before building the workflow.
- Start simple - Add one step at a time and test frequently. It's easier to debug small changes.
- Order matters - Steps execute left-to-right. Put filtering early to reduce data volume for subsequent steps.
- Check the Receipt - After running, review the execution receipt to see exactly what changed.
- Save your work - Your workflow is auto-saved in browser storage and persists across restarts. Export a JSON backup regularly.
