CSV Formula Generator: what it does
Enter a new column heading and a formula containing {row}. The placeholder is replaced with each spreadsheet row number, accounting for the header in row 1. For example, =A{row}+B{row} becomes formulas such as =A2+B2.
How to use it
Choose a CSV and edit the formula template before running the tool. Check the generated formulas in your spreadsheet application; CSV stores formula text and the behavior depends on how the receiving application interprets it.
What to check in the result
The generator does not calculate formulas or verify referenced columns. Only use formulas from trusted sources because spreadsheet applications may execute formulas when a CSV is opened.

How does the row placeholder work?
It is replaced with the data row number, starting at 2 below the header.
Are formulas supported by every CSV reader?
No. CSV is plain text, and formula behavior depends on the application opening it.
