How It Works
The CSV Column Counter works like a digital assistant for your CSV files. When you upload a file, the tool reads the first row (the header row) and counts how many columns are separated by commas. It’s as simple as that! Here’s a breakdown:
- Upload your CSV file using the "Choose a CSV file" button.
- The tool reads the first row of your file.
- It splits the row by commas to identify each column.
- The total number of columns is displayed instantly.
No complicated steps, no downloads, and no data leaves your computer. It’s that straightforward!
