Survey Booking Sheet Formatter
A free, browser-based calculator. Runs entirely in your browser — no sign up, nothing stored.
Paste your raw notes
Separate columns with commas, tabs or semicolons; the delimiter is detected automatically. Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Paste some notes to align them into a booking sheet.
How to use this calculator
- Paste your rough field notes — columns separated by commas, tabs or semicolons.
- The tool aligns them into a clean, even booking sheet.
- Copy or download it as a text file for evidence or handover.
How it works
Hand-typed notes rarely line up. The formatter splits each row into columns, measures the widest entry in each, and pads every cell so the columns align in a fixed-width sheet that's easy to read and check.
Blank rows are dropped and ragged rows are padded, so the result is consistent.
Worked example
Ragged notes in. Rows like “A,1.502,,,BM” and “BB,3,longer remark” come out with the station, readings and remarks lined up under even columns.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the CSV cleaner?
No — the cleaner removes blanks/duplicates and outputs CSV for import; this aligns the columns into a human-readable booking sheet for printing or handover.
Is this official course material?
No. It is free study support mapped to surveying course levels — not official North Metropolitan TAFE content or advice. Always follow your lecturer and the official assessment brief, and check your own working.
