Step 2: Select the K-Means Clustering Tool

Head to the sidebar and find the K-Means Clustering tool. Click on it to access the specialized interface designed for this operation.

Pro tip: If you have multiple tools in mind, use the search functionality in the sidebar. It's a huge time saver when you're not sure which tool is best for your specific operation.

The tools in 'How To CSV' are designed with a single focus, which means they are optimized for that specific operation. This results in:

• Excel (XLSX): Native Excel format with proper formatting and data types
• JSON: For web developers and API integrations
• TSV: Tab-separated format preferred by some systems
• DSS: A custom format that represents sparse grids and sheets efficiently in plain text: no more binary files that can't be previewed or edited in a text editor. DSS files are perfect for sharing complex data structures while maintaining readability and editability.

The exported file maintains proper encoding, so your international characters, special symbols, and formatting are preserved. No more garbled text or broken formulas!
