What this tool does

Exports often include dozens of columns you don't need. Tabular lets you select exactly which columns to keep and specify their output order — giving you a lean, correctly-structured file without touching a spreadsheet editor.

Problems it solves

  • Trimming a 40-column CRM export down to the 6 fields you need
  • Reordering columns to match a database table's schema
  • Removing sensitive columns before sharing a file
  • Selecting columns for a specific template or import format
  • Standardizing column order across multiple files

Example

ID and Internal Notes columns dropped; remaining columns reordered.

Frequently asked questions

How do I specify the column order?

Toggle columns on or off in the column selector. Selected columns appear in the order you click them. Deselected columns are dropped from the output.

What happens to dropped columns?

They are excluded from the output file entirely. The original file is never modified.

Can I use this to remove sensitive columns before sharing?

Yes. Simply deselect any columns you want to exclude and download the cleaned file.

Is this a Pro feature?

Yes. Column reordering is available on Pro and Business plans.
