I don't get it. Are JSON and XML files more friendly to import vs CSV files? I always assumed CSVs were the standard. Any reasons to prefer structured formats? Shameless plug: I am working on a similar problem of Excel not being a great tool for large datasets. My desktop app[1] lets you import raw data files and query them using SQL.

I've been working on https://textquery.app -- query raw data from your desktop. I love exploring data, but it always felt clunky to juggle multiple tools, write scripts, or run commands just to import and query a dataset. TextQuery is the tool I built to solve that mess.
