Spreadsheet Lookup & Join

Bring columns from one sheet into another by a shared key, like VLOOKUP, or find rows missing from the other file.

Free, no uploads, no sign-up. Runs 100% in your browser.

How Spreadsheet Lookup & Join works

Files are opened in your browser with SheetJS and JSZip. Nothing is uploaded, and your original file is never changed. Keys are matched ignoring case and outer spaces if you like. Left, inner, full and not-found joins are supported.

Input: XLSX, XLS, ODS, CSV. Output: XLSX, CSV.

How to use Spreadsheet Lookup & Join

  1. Drop the main sheet.
  2. Drop the lookup sheet.
  3. Pick the matching key columns.
  4. Choose which rows and columns to keep and download.

Tips

  • Excel, ODS and CSV all work. Formulas are read as their last saved values.
  • For CSV files with odd characters, save them as UTF-8 first.

Spreadsheet Lookup & Join FAQ

Are my files uploaded?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.
Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?
Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.
