May-July Update: Formulas, Data Cleaning Tools, New AI Researcher and Automatic De-duplication
This month’s updates are all about giving you cleaner data, more control, and less manual work inside Databar.
We’ve created a short video covering the main updates. Check it out here:
🧮 Excel Formula Support - your spreadsheet superpowers, inside Databar
You can now use familiar Excel formulas directly in your Databar tables. No more exporting to Excel or Google Sheets just to run simple logic or math.
Examples:
=IF(A2>100, “High”, “Low”) → flag companies above a certain size.
=CONCATENATE(A2, “ “, B2) → merge first name + last name into a single field.
=OR(A2=“USA”, B2>500) → apply flexible filters for better targeting.
=SUM(A:A), =AVERAGE(B:B), =ROUND(C2, 2) → do quick calculations without leaving Databar.
👉 If you know Excel, you already know how to make your Databar tables smarter.
🧹 Single‑Column Deduplication - fast one‑off cleanup
Sometimes you don’t need to overhaul your entire table, just tidy up one column. With single‑column deduplication, you can now remove duplicates based on a specific column.
Example:
You have a list of leads with duplicate email addresses. Instead of deleting entire rows or checking manually, one click keeps only unique emails and clears the clutter.
De-duplication is an irreversible action! Please make sure you are certain about the column you want to de-duplicate, as it will permanently delete duplicate rows in your table.
👉 Perfect for quick cleanup when importing CSVs, running exports, or preparing outreach lists.
♻️ Automatic Deduplication — keep your tables clean, forever
For ongoing data flows, manual cleanup isn’t enough. That’s where automatic deduplication comes in.
You can now set rules that enforce uniqueness automatically.
Example:
You’re importing new contacts every day from LinkedIn, a CRM, or another table. With automatic deduplication enabled on specific columns, Databar will prevent duplicates the moment they land.
Your contact lists stay clean, your outreach campaigns avoid double‑sending, and your CRM never fills up with messy records.
👉 Think of it as auto‑pilot for data hygiene.
📂 Group Enrichment Columns
Working with wide tables can get messy fast. With the new Group Columns feature, you can now collapse multiple columns from an enrichment into a single grouped view. Enrichments can still be run in collapsed view and you can ungroup columns any time by clicking the double-arrow button in the top left of the group.
👉 Perfect for cleaning up busy tables and focusing only on the data that matters.
📊 Split Text to Columns
Have combined values like "John Doe, CEO" in a single cell? Now you can split them into separate Name and Title columns instantly. You can also select what value you want to split values by (can be a space (“ “), dash (-), comma (,) or any other character.
👉 A small tool that saves big.
🎛️ Cleaner Parameter Inputs
We’ve reorganized filters so the most critical ones are grouped together. Searching for companies and people is now faster and less overwhelming. You’ll notice that Employee count or Revenue estimate ranges in the filters will now be grouped into an “Employee count” parameter, instead of being two separate “Employees Max” and “Employees Min” inputs.
💰 Smarter Pricing Previews
Some enrichments are priced by the number of rows you request (via Limit or # Results).
Previously, we only showed the price for 1 result by default.
Now, the expected total price is displayed right in the enrichment sidebar before you run it — so you always know the exact cost upfront.
🔍 Views → Filters
The old “Views” (Success, No Data, Errors) are now integrated into the Filters panel. Cleaner layout, easier navigation.
⚡ Faster Enrichment Search
We’ve fine‑tuned our search algorithm to bring back better results, faster.
🔐 Streamlined Authorization
The Authorization menu has been tucked into a dropdown — still there when you need it, invisible when you don’t.
🤖 New AI Researcher Agent
Enrich your data with AI‑powered research across the web. Instead of looking at a single page, you can now feed the agent a prompt + list of links, and it will automatically:
Visit each website
Extract the information you asked for
Return it in a clean, structured format
Examples of how you can use it:
Give the agent a list of company websites → “Get their pricing model” → returns clear pricing tiers for each site.
Upload a list of LinkedIn company pages → “Find the CEO” → returns CEO names and roles.
Provide startup websites → “Check if they recently raised funding” → returns yes/no with details.
👉 Just tell the agent what you need, and it will enrich your tables for you.
Other bug fixes and improvements
The enrichment side-bar will now close after you add an enrichment and your screen will automatically scroll to the columns that were added
We’ve fixed many bugs & errors coming from data sources & APIs which have recently changed
