Find spelling and formatting variants, then apply only approved replacements. Fingerprinting lowercases, removes accents/punctuation and sorts tokens. Suggested clusters can contain values that should remain different. No suggestions are automatically merged. Approved mappings are exact original-value replacements; preserve the original file and review the change log.

Prepare the input

Find spelling and formatting variants, then apply only approved replacements.

CSV, TSV and arrays of scalar JSON objects are supported. Identifiers stay text. Empty cells are missing by default; add special missing tokens only if their meaning is certain. Use the sample to inspect the exact workflow.

Review the method

Fingerprinting lowercases, removes accents/punctuation and sorts tokens. Suggested clusters can contain values that should remain different. No suggestions are automatically merged. Approved mappings are exact original-value replacements; preserve the original file and review the change log.

Keep the useful output

Review the summary and result records. Transformation tools retain separate change, rejected-record or diagnostics datasets where relevant. Choose the dataset before exporting; a report and a cleaned dataset serve different purposes.

CSV exports protect formula-like text. JSON keeps data portable without making an Excel workbook. Reports and editable backups may contain private source values; download only what you intend to share. No automatic account storage or server processing is used.
