Process

Analyze a spreadsheet in five steps

  1. 01

    Prepare the file

    Place names, email addresses or usernames in a clearly labeled column and keep optional two-letter country codes in a separate column.

  2. 02

    Choose the analysis method

    Open the Excel/CSV tool, select name, email or username analysis and choose an API key.

  3. 03

    Upload and map columns

    Select the file and worksheet, then map the input column and optional country column.

  4. 04

    Run the analysis

    Start processing and monitor the job until the enriched file is ready.

  5. 05

    Review and export

    Review gender, probability, country and matched-name fields, then export the result.

File compatibility

Output review

Filter and review enriched rows

Review the predicted gender together with probability, country and matched-name information. Use confidence thresholds to route uncertain rows for review.

File privacy

Delete the uploaded file after exporting your results

The published policy schedules uploaded Excel and CSV files for removal from active systems within five days. You can request earlier active-workspace removal after exporting the enriched result. Rolling backups may persist for up to 30 additional days, and deletion operations require verification.

Planning large jobs

Measure performance with your own representative file

A newer test processed 10,000 rows in about 20 seconds without AI fallback; the earlier roughly 39-second result is obsolete. Treat the newer result as an example, not a guarantee: file structure, processing method, credits, network conditions and service load can change completion time. AI-assisted queries take longer than database-backed processing, so benchmark the exact options used by your production workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Excel and CSV gender analysis FAQ

What file formats are supported?

The current upload interface lists CSV, XLSX, XLSM, Apple Numbers, ODS, TSV and TXT files.

How do I start a file analysis?

Sign in, open the Excel/CSV tool, choose the method and API key, upload the file, map the input column and start processing.

Can I add country context?

Yes. Map a column containing two-letter country codes or apply an available country option to improve regional context.

How fast are large file jobs?

Processing time depends on row count, file structure, selected method, available credits and current service load. Test a representative file before planning a large job.

Do I need coding skills?

No. The upload and column-mapping workflow is designed to run from the web interface.

How long is an uploaded file retained?

The published policy schedules uploaded Excel and CSV files for removal from active systems within five days and offers earlier workspace removal after export. Rolling backups may persist for up to 30 additional days; deletion operations require verification.

How should I use the probability score?

Use probability as a confidence signal, define a review threshold for uncertain records and do not treat a prediction as verified identity.
