Missing Value Report for CSV / TSV

About this tool

Before you clean or model a dataset you need to know where the holes are. This tool takes a CSV or TSV table with a header row and reports, for every column, how many cells are missing, how many are present, the row total, and the missing percentage — the spreadsheet equivalent of pandas' df.isnull().sum() and df.isnull().mean() * 100 in one pass. A blank or whitespace-only cell always counts as missing, and you can add your own tokens (like NA, null, or #N/A) that should be treated the same way.

On top of the per-column counts it can show a missingness-pattern grid: each distinct present(1)/missing(0) combination across the columns, with how many rows share it, most-common-first. This is the textual form of R's mice::md.pattern idiom, and it answers a question the per-column counts cannot — which columns tend to go missing together. If two fields are always blank in the same rows, the grid makes that jump out.

Worked example

Paste this table:

name,age,city
Alice,30,NYC
Bob,,LA
,25,
Carol,40,NYC

You get a per-column table showing age and city and name each missing one cell (25%), a summary line reporting 4 total rows with 2 complete rows (50%), and a pattern grid: two fully-present rows, one row missing age, and one row missing both name and city.

Controls

• Delimiter accepts a single character or a name — comma (default), tab, semicolon, or pipe. Use tab for TSV data.
• Extra missing tokens is a case-insensitive, comma-separated list added to the built-in blank detection. Leave it empty to count only blank cells as missing, so a literal NA stays a real value.
• Sort columns by orders the per-column table: most-missing-first (default), original column order, or column name A–Z.
• Show missingness-pattern grid toggles the mice::md.pattern-style grid on or off.
• Max pattern rows caps how many pattern rows are listed; any extra patterns are summarized as a (N more…) note.

Limits and edge cases

Short rows (fewer fields than the header) count the absent trailing columns as missing. Quoted fields with embedded commas or newlines are parsed per RFC 4180. This is a profiler, not a fixer: to fill or drop missing cells use a dedicated imputation tool, and for a visual matrix/bar/heatmap of missingness reach for a charting library.
