Controlled data preparation

Import Excel and CSV Data Without Complicated Setup

Review columns, confirm data types, and see clear row-level errors before a file becomes the basis of a report.

The trial period lasts 14 days.

Data delivery

Send Data in the Way That Fits Your Workflow

Upload an Excel or CSV file or send data through the API. Once received, the data is immediately available in connected reports and dashboards.

  • Excel

    Manually upload a prepared Excel file with preview and validation.

  • CSV

    Manually upload a CSV file into the same controlled data structure.

  • API

    Send approved data from a business system when the active plan includes API access.

Received data is immediately available to reports, charts, KPI metrics, and dashboards.

How Smart Report helps

One invalid value can undermine an entire view

Manual review of a large file makes it difficult to find missing required fields, invalid dates, and numbers stored as text. Problems are often noticed only after the result no longer makes sense.

How Smart Report helps

For teams that receive and validate recurring business files

Sales operations, financial control, and data administrators can review the structure before confirming an import.

Sales operations

Import weekly or monthly sales files into the same table with controlled mapping.

Financial control

Verify that amounts, dates, and required fields are valid before analysis.

Data administrators

Correct a specific row or column and retry a failed import without mixing data.

Import Excel and CSV Data for Reporting

Upload an Excel or CSV file and Smart Report receives, validates, and prepares the data for reports, charts, KPIs, dashboards, and pivot analysis. This controlled data import creates a reliable basis for both Excel reporting and CSV reporting.

When new data is available, import the updated file again or let an external system send approved records through the API. Smart Report does not monitor a local file or pull its changes automatically.

A practical workflow

From a File to Analysis-Ready Data

Each step gives the user an opportunity to review the content before the final save.

  1. Upload the file

    Choose an Excel or CSV file and start a preview of its structure.

  2. Confirm columns

    Review names, types, and required fields and adjust the mapping when needed.

  3. Correct and confirm

    Resolve highlighted errors, validate again, and only then save the data.

Capabilities

An import flow for recurring business files

When a monthly or weekly file has the same business structure, its rows can be appended to an existing table with controlled mapping.

  • Required-header and duplicate-column checks
  • Validation for numbers, dates, times, and Yes/No values
  • Original uploads retained only while the import workflow is active
  • File-size and row-count limits based on the plan
Example

A monthly sales file

Import a monthly Excel sales file and immediately review its columns, data types, and row count. If a date or amount is invalid, you receive guidance about where to correct it.

Outcome

A more reliable basis for every report

Spend less time finding problems after import and create analyses over validated, organized data.
