Check spreadsheet formulas before exporting directory data

CSV files contain exported values rather than the live logic of a workbook. Formula errors or stale calculations can become published text.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Recalculate the sheet, inspect error cells, and export a values-only copy for review. Check any computed descriptions or URLs.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

A concatenated website field containing an error token should be fixed before the CSV reaches the import screen.

Before you move on

Are all exported values usable without the original spreadsheet formulas?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Keep an untouched source copy.
  2. Test changes on a small sample.
  3. Compare imported records with the original data.
