TabularCSV Cleaner for Notion Import
Import your CSV into Notion without blank records or messy fields.
Notion's CSV importer takes everything literally — blank rows become empty database entries, extra columns clutter your properties, and whitespace in cell values carries through to your records. Tabular cleans your file before you import so your Notion database is tidy from the start.
Common Notion CSV problems

- Extra or unused columns creating unwanted properties in your database
- Whitespace in cell values appearing inside Notion records
- Columns in the wrong order making the database hard to use after import
- Empty trailing columns from spreadsheet exports adding blank properties

Frequently asked questions
How do I import a CSV into Notion?
In Notion, click '+ New page', then select 'Import' and choose 'CSV'. Each column in your CSV becomes a property (field) in the Notion database, and each row becomes a page (record). Clean your CSV with Tabular before importing to avoid blank records and unwanted properties.
Why does Notion create blank entries when I import a CSV?
Notion imports every row in your CSV, including empty ones. Use Tabular's Remove Empty Rows tool to delete all blank rows before importing — this prevents empty pages from appearing in your Notion database.
How do I remove unwanted columns before importing to Notion?
Use Tabular's Remove Empty Columns tool to automatically delete columns with no data, or use Reorder Columns to select only the columns you want and arrange them in the order you want them to appear as Notion properties.
Why does whitespace appear in my Notion database after a CSV import?
If your CSV has leading or trailing spaces in cells, Notion imports those spaces as part of the value. Use Tabular's Trim Whitespace tool to strip spaces from every cell before importing — this keeps your Notion records clean and searchable.
Can I control the column order in Notion after importing a CSV?
The easiest way is to reorder your columns before importing using Tabular's Reorder Columns tool. Once imported, Notion creates properties in the order of your CSV columns, so pre-sorting saves you from rearranging properties inside Notion.
