Incomplete TSV Value Finder

World's simplest tsv tool
Simple and free online TSV incomplete value finder. Just paste a Tab-Separated Values table into the form below, and this tool will check every row for missing fields and optional blank cells. You can skip comment lines and empty lines in the TSV file, and see the exact row and column positions where TSV values are missing or blank. Created by programmers from team Browserling.

Comments and Blank Lines
Rows starting with this comment marker are skipped.
Ignore empty rows and rows that contain only whitespace.
Blank TSV Cells
Also report TSV cells that exist but contain no text or contain only whitespace.
Report Size
Stop reporting missing or empty TSV values after this many results.

What is a Incomplete TSV Value Finder?

learn more about this tool
This online tool finds incomplete values in Tab Separated Values (TSV) data. It scans the input as TSV data, using tab characters to split each row into fields. Then it compares every row against the widest row in the file and prints the exact row and column numbers where fields are missing. A missing TSV value is a field position that does not exist in a row at all. A blank TSV value is different: the field exists between two tabs but has no visible characters (it can be zero-length or consist only of whitespace). In the options, you can choose whether to also report these blank cells together with missing values. You can also skip empty lines, so blank spacing in pasted data is not treated as an incomplete TSV row. If your file uses comment lines, enter the comment marker in the options; otherwise, a comment row may be read as one long value in the first column, with the remaining columns reported as missing. For noisy files, you can limit the number of printed results, so the report stays short and shows only the first missing or blank positions. If the TSV data has no incomplete values, the tool shows a green success notification confirming that the data is complete. To automatically fix missing fields, use our Fill Incomplete TSV Values tool. Tsv-abulous!

Incomplete TSV Value Finder examples

Click to use
Check an Ink Swatch TSV
In this example, we scan a small TSV table of bottled ink swatches. Each row has the same three fields: ink name, shade, and jar slot. The tool compares all rows and finds no missing fields or blank cells, so it returns a green success badge.
ink shade jar Oro gold A1 Sumi black B2 Mica blue C3 Umber brown D4
In this example, we scan a small TSV table of bottled ink swatches. Each row has the same three fields: ink name, shade, and jar slot. The tool compares all rows and finds no missing fields or blank cells, so it returns a green success badge.

Find Gaps in a Meteorite TSV
In this example, we inspect a compact TSV list of meteorite samples. The header sets a three-column TSV shape, but two sample rows are shorter than expected. The second sample is missing the mass field, and the fourth sample has only an id, so the report points to the missing cells in those rows.
id class mass M1 iron 12g M2 stone M3 mix 8g M4 M5 iron 3g
title: Found Missing Value 1 message: Missing data in row 3, column 3. title: Found Missing Value 2 message: Missing data in row 5, columns 2, 3.

Report Blank Cells in a Map Marks TSV
In this example, we check a TSV file of paper maps. The input contains two comment rows and one blank separator row, so we skip them before looking for incomplete values. The tool reports two blank "scale" cells in the "Ridge" row (row 4, column 2) and the "Harbor" row (row 5, column 2), plus one missing "mark" field at the end of the "Dune" row (row 6, column 3).
map scale mark # survey notes Delta 1:5k ford Ridge cairn Harbor well # needs review Dune 1:2k
title: Found Empty Value 1 message: Empty value in row 4, column 2. title: Found Empty Value 2 message: Empty value in row 5, column 2. title: Found Missing Value 3 message: Missing data in row 6, column 3.
