Frequently Asked Questions
What data cleaning operations does Diwadi support?

How is this different from Excel's data cleaning?
Diwadi handles unlimited rows (Excel maxes at 1M), processes 10-100x faster, works offline with no upload, keeps data 100% private, and supports advanced operations that Excel can't handle on large files.
Can I clean files larger than Excel's 1M row limit?
Yes! Diwadi handles CSV files with billions of rows. Clean 10M, 50M, or 100M+ row files that Excel can't even open. Perfect for database exports, log files, and enterprise datasets.
Is this a replacement for Alteryx?
For most users, yes! Diwadi provides the same core data cleaning features as Alteryx (remove duplicates, filter, clean, convert) but is free and simpler to use. Alteryx costs $5,195-50,000/year and is complex for simple tasks.
What file formats are supported?
Clean CSV, Excel (XLSX/XLS), Parquet, TSV, and JSON files. You can also convert between formats during the cleaning process. For best performance with large files, use Parquet.
Can I batch clean multiple files?
Yes! Select folders and apply the same cleaning operations to hundreds of files at once. Each file is cleaned separately with a detailed report. Perfect for cleaning entire databases or data warehouses.
Will my original files be modified?
No! Diwadi always creates new cleaned files, leaving your originals untouched. You'll get a detailed report of what was cleaned in each file.
Is data cleaning free?
