Hi HN!
A few months ago, a college friend reached out because his consulting company had just received a 60 Gb spreadsheet, and they didn't know what to do with it! They actually tried opening it in Excel.
I'm excited to Show HN CSV Explorer - a simple web tool for opening really big CSVs! Try it out, and let me know how it goes!
- goatlover 10y agoOpen it with a programming language like R, Julia or Python that supports the data frames. No reason to upload 60 gigs to the web or Excel.
- jastr 10y agoThis project came out of some of my contracting work for consultants, journalists, lawyers - people who don't know what a command line is.
- danvoell 10y agoWorked like a charm. This is really cool. I can see a lot of uses with large files. Especially filtering down "faceted" search items.
