Data Formatting Guidelines
Improper data formatting
Composite spreadsheets or irregularly formatted data may not be able to be analyzed or transformed by Julius. Below are several common issues to avoid:
- Multiple sections. Your spreadsheet cannot have multiple sections.
- Multiple tables. Similar to the point above, there should not be multiple tables in your uploaded sheet.
- Empty rows. Make sure there are no empty rows (or columns).


Proper data formatting
Well-cleaned and structured data enables Julius to perform accurate and error-free data analysis and visualization. Below are best practices to follow:
- Column headers. Descriptive column headers must be in the first row.
- Tabulation. Your data should be in the form of rows of records below the headers.
- Universality. Plain, generally understandable language for column names is recommended rather than industry- or company-specific jargon.
