Program to display CSV nicely from clipboard

Question

I'm occationaly dealing with CSV files. I was wondering if there's a program that displays the CSV nicely in an Excel-like format (bonus for enabling sorting and searching) on the fly without saving the CSV to file and then opening it in excel. Preferably, it should be able to fetch the data from the clipboard and display it in an Excel-like format

My current workflow is: look at CSV piece of data in a text file -> copy it to Excel -> click on "convert text to rows" menu -> select comma as separator -> examine data. If there's a piece of software that would save me the trouble that would be nice.
