Big data. Easy tool.
Row Zero makes big data accessible in a familiar tool. Unlike legacy spreadsheets that slow down or crash when they approach the row limits of Excel (1,048,576 rows) and Google Sheets (10 million cells), Row Zero lets students and researchers analyze massive datasets. Easily open and edit big CSVs, Parquet, JSONL, .txt, .gz, etc.
Analyze big data fast
Row Zero's 200+ built-in spreadsheet functions let you write Excel-compatible formulas to calculate millions of rows instantly. Build dynamic pivot tables, charts, and dashboards to visualize data or use built-in features to quickly clean big datasets. You can also leverage Python to build custom spreadsheet functions or analyze data with Python packages like numpy, scipy, pandas, etc.
Explore large public datasets
Row Zero makes it easy to open and analyze large public datasets from government agencies and research studies. These files are often too big to open in Excel and require complex tools or code to work with. Row Zero lets you open with a simple file import and analyze in a familiar spreadsheet. You can explore large datasets from the U.S. Census, Worldbank, and CMS in our free datasets tool or download and open files directly from any source.
Publish and share research
Row Zero makes it easy to publish large files and datasets. You can share publicly, with specific users, or within an organization. Accessing published datasets is as simple as clicking a link. When data is shared publicly, viewers do not need to login to view the spreadsheet. This makes Row Zero a great way to publish research data, share public data sets, or comply with open data records requirements.
Connected and auto-updating
Row Zero lets you import data from files, URL, or Amazon S3. You can also securely connect to Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Redshift to build connected spreadsheets that auto-update with new data. Everything built on connected data automatically updates and stays in sync including pivot tables, charts, calculations, etc.
Security and data governance
Row Zero is built for enterprise security and data governance. Our advanced access controls and enterprise security features are used by the world's biggest companies.
