CSV Descriptive Statistics

Summary statistics for every column in a CSV file: N, missing, mean, SD and more.

Summary statistics

A column counts as numeric when at least 80% of its non-missing values are numbers. Blank cells and NA, N/A, NaN, null, none, "." and "-" are treated as missing. SD is the sample standard deviation and quartiles use linear interpolation (Excel QUARTILE.INC).

How to use the CSV Descriptive Statistics

Summary statistics for every column in a CSV file: N, missing, mean, SD and more.

  1. 1 Upload a CSV or TSV file, or paste data copied from Excel.
  2. 2 Say whether the first row holds the column names.
  3. 3 Read the summary table and download it as CSV.

Example and practical tips

For a 16-row clinical dataset, the glucose column shows 15 values, 1 missing, mean 126.4 and a median of 102, a gap that hints at an outlier.
