FAQ
Frequently asked questions
These notes describe the intended workflow; published release notes are authoritative.
Does CSVFix repair missing data?
Encoding conversion cannot reconstruct data already lost from the source. Keep an original copy.
Is CSVFix the same as ExcelFlow?
No. CSVFix focuses on text encoding; ExcelFlow focuses on field mapping and repeatable import templates.
IN PRACTICE
Where this tool fits into your workflow
CSV files may contain perfectly valid data yet display garbled text after being opened in a spreadsheet or imported into another application. CSVFix is designed for the encoding problem itself, without turning into a general-purpose spreadsheet editor.
Real-world use cases
Fix garbled Chinese text
Inspect CSV exports that display unreadable Chinese characters because the source encoding and the importing application's expectations differ.
Move files between systems
Prepare CSV files for an ERP, accounting tool or spreadsheet program that expects a different text encoding.
Preserve repeatable imports
Save a corrected copy of an incoming report and inspect sample rows before handing it to the next system.
Before you process your files
Lost characters cannot be recovered
If the source file has already replaced characters with question marks or discarded bytes, changing the encoding cannot reconstruct what was lost.
Encoding is not data mapping
CSVFix does not exist to rename columns, change date formats or validate business rules. Those tasks belong to a mapping tool such as ExcelFlow.
