Choose the right tool

Formula-like cells receive a literal prefix. Check the exported file in your target spreadsheet; neutralizing cells is different from validating every formula or guaranteeing safety in all spreadsheet applications.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Reduces common formula interpretation when opening CSV in spreadsheets. Import behavior varies; review files and avoid opening untrusted exports automatically.
  • Combined input is bounded to 150,000 characters; output text is bounded to 1.2 million characters. Some algorithms impose smaller limits, stated in their error messages.
