Description
Aggregate CSV rows into a deterministic grouped pivot table.
CSV Pivot Table Tool: Aggregate CSV rows into a deterministic grouped pivot table.
When to use CSV Pivot Table
Use this table transformation to reorganize records by chosen row keys, column keys, and aggregate values for inspection or downstream analysis.
- CSV
- CSV text with a header row to pivot.
- Delimiter
- Single-character field delimiter.
- Group columns
- Columns whose distinct values form the groups.
- Aggregation
- Aggregation applied to the value column per group.
- Value column
- Numeric column to aggregate; optional when counting rows.
How CSV Pivot Table works
Aggregate CSV rows into a deterministic grouped pivot table. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Pivot table
- Pivot table with sorted group keys and one aggregated column.
Limitations and assumptions
- CSV does not carry a universal type system, schema, delimiter, locale, or missing-value convention. A pivot can silently combine records if identifiers, numeric parsing, duplicate handling, or aggregation rules are chosen incorrectly.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Inspect parsed columns and duplicate keys before pivoting, state the aggregation function, and retain the unpivoted source. Validate totals before exporting the transformed table.
