CSV Stats

A quick profile of a dump.

Overview

CSV Stats is a developer utility. Print row count, column types, and empty-cell rates for a CSV.

Before a join you want shape and nulls, not a BI tool.

Run it in a clone, check the output, then keep or discard the file it wrote.

Editions

Use the command-line copy in this repository if you already have Python.

If you want a normal installer for Windows or macOS, open the setup page and follow the steps there.

What it does

• Row and column counts
• Type guess
• Empty-cell rate
• Optional sample

Environment

• Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
• Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
• Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI

CLI

Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help

--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.
