Frequently Asked Questions

What types of datasets can I upload?
Currently, the Joined Data Product supports CSV, JSON, and Excel formats. Ensure your data includes address-related information for optimal joining results.

How are Placekeys applied to my data?
When you upload a dataset, Placekeys are appended based on address and location attributes, allowing your data to match seamlessly with other datasets in the Placekey library.

What if my data doesn’t align perfectly with pre-Placekeyed datasets?
The product offers automated entity resolution for most address formats. If there are no overlapping Placekeys between datasets, joining them will not be possible. For unique cases, our support team can offer guidance.

Can I customize the output?
You can choose the type of join (e.g., inner, outer) when downloading your results. Currently, output customization by specific columns is not available, though we are exploring options to make this possible in future updates.

Is it possible to join pre-Placekeyed datasets with each other?
Yes! In addition to joining your data with pre-Placekeyed datasets, you can select any two pre-Placekeyed datasets to combine for enriched insights without needing to upload your own file.

Are there limitations on dataset size?
No! We can apply Placekeys and join datasets of all sizes.

What should I do if I encounter data format or alignment issues?
Our system automatically detects common data format issues, but if alignment problems persist, reach out to our support@placekey.io
