What is the difference between AND and OR logic when filtering a CSV?

AND and OR control how multiple filter rules combine. Under AND, a row must satisfy every rule to appear, so it narrows results — for example, status equals shipped AND region equals EU returns only shipped EU orders. Under OR, a row qualifies if it matches any single rule, which widens results and is the right choice when you want several categories or regions gathered in one pass, like category equals Electronics OR category equals Hardware. A common mistake is using AND when you meant OR and getting zero matches because no row can equal two different values at once. This tool gives you a single AND/OR toggle that applies to all your rules, and the live row counter updates the instant you switch, so you can flip between the two and see which logic produces the slice you need.

Why does my greater than or less than filter sometimes sort alphabetically instead of by number?

The greater than and less than operators are numeric only when both the cell value and the value you typed parse as numbers — so price greater than 50 correctly keeps 100 and drops 9. If either side is not a clean number, the comparison falls back to alphabetical order, where text is compared character by character. That fallback is why a column mixing numbers with units or symbols, like "$50" or "50 kg", may behave unexpectedly, since the leading symbol or trailing text prevents a numeric reading. To get reliable numeric filtering, make sure the column holds plain numbers with no currency signs, commas, or units. Strip those out first, then apply your greater than or less than rule above and the row counter will confirm you are filtering on true numeric value.

How do I filter a CSV by multiple values in the same column at once?

To keep rows matching several values in one column — say every order from the US, UK, or Canada — add one rule per value and set the logic toggle to OR. Create a country equals US rule, a country equals UK rule, and a country equals Canada rule, then switch from AND to OR so a row qualifies if it matches any of them. AND would return nothing here, because a single cell cannot equal three different countries simultaneously. If the values share common text, the contains operator is an even shorter route: one contains rule can catch a partial match across many entries. You can add as many rules as you need and delete any on the fly, and the live counter shows how many rows survive. Stack your value rules above and download the combined result.

Are CSV filter matches case-sensitive in this tool?

No. Every text comparison in this tool is case-insensitive, so Active, active, and ACTIVE are all treated as the same value. This applies to all seven operators — equals, not equals, contains, starts with, ends with, and the alphabetical fallback of greater than and less than. The benefit is that you do not have to know exactly how a column was capitalized to filter it; a rule like status equals shipped catches Shipped and SHIPPED too. The trade-off is that you cannot use case alone to distinguish two values, so if a dataset uses capitalization as a meaningful flag, this tool will not separate those rows. For the vast majority of real exports, where casing is inconsistent anyway, case-insensitive matching is what you want. Paste your data above and your filters will match regardless of letter case.

Does the downloaded CSV include all matching rows or just the ones shown in the preview?

The download always contains every matching row, not just the preview. To stay fast, the on-screen table renders only the first 100 matching rows and shows a note when there are more, but that limit is purely visual. When you click Download, the tool writes a filtered.csv containing the header line plus all matching rows, with commas and quotes properly escaped so the file opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app. The live counter above the table — for example 42 of 500 rows — tells you exactly how many rows the export will hold before you save it. So even if the preview caps at 100, a result of thousands of rows downloads in full. Build your conditions above, confirm the counter, then download the complete filtered file.

About the CSV Filter & Query Tool

The CSV Filter & Query Tool lets you pull the rows you actually need out of a spreadsheet without opening Excel, writing a formula, or learning SQL. Paste CSV text, upload a .csv file, or load the built-in sample, then build one or more conditions — like price greater than 50 or category contains electronics — and the matching rows appear instantly. When the result looks right, download it as a fresh CSV. It is built for analysts, marketers, developers, and anyone who receives data exports and just wants the subset that matters.

Everything happens locally in your browser. Your file is read and filtered on your own device, so nothing is uploaded to a server. That makes the tool safe for customer lists, sales exports, or any spreadsheet you would not want to hand to a third party. There is no account, no upload quota, and no software to install.

How filtering works

The first row of your CSV is treated as the header, and its column names populate every filter. Each rule has three parts: a column, an operator, and a value. The tool supports seven operators:

  • equals and not equals — exact match (case-insensitive) against the cell's text.
  • greater than and less than — numeric when both the cell and your value parse as numbers (so 100 > 9 behaves correctly), and fall back to alphabetical order otherwise.
  • contains — keeps rows where the cell includes your text anywhere.
  • starts with and ends with — match the beginning or end of the cell, handy for prefixes like SKUs or file extensions.

All text comparisons ignore case, so Active and active are treated the same. Only rules that have both a column and a value are applied; empty rules are skipped, so you can leave a half-built filter in place without breaking your results.

Combining conditions with AND / OR

A single condition is often not enough. With the AND / OR toggle you decide how multiple rules interact. Under AND, a row must satisfy every rule to appear — for example, status equals shipped AND region equals EU. Under OR, a row qualifies if it matches any one rule, which is the way to gather several categories or regions in a single pass. You can add as many rules as you need and delete any of them on the fly; the row count updates the moment you change anything.

Reading results and exporting

Above the preview, a live counter shows how many rows survived — for instance "42 / 500 rows" — so you always know how aggressive your filter is. The on-screen table previews up to the first 100 matching rows for speed, but the export is never truncated: the Download button writes a filtered.csv containing the header plus every matching row, with commas and quotes properly escaped so the file opens cleanly in any spreadsheet app. Use Change CSV to swap in a different dataset without reloading the page.

Why a browser-based CSV filter is useful

CSV is the lowest common denominator of data export — analytics dashboards, e-commerce platforms, CRMs, and databases all produce it. The problem is that a raw export often holds thousands of rows when you only care about a handful. Spreadsheet filters work but are fiddly to set up and easy to leave applied by accident; command-line tools like awk or grep are powerful but unforgiving with quoted fields. This tool sits in between: more flexible than a quick find, far simpler than scripting, and instant because there is no server round-trip.

Common uses include isolating products below a stock threshold, pulling every order from one country, finding rows that contain a keyword in a free-text column, or trimming a large export down before importing it somewhere else. Load your data above, stack a few conditions, and download exactly the slice you need.
