Hey everyone,
I am currently stuck on trying to find a way in which I would input a file and retrieve the appropriate column header names from data within the rows. Due to the reasons below, I unfortunately cannot just "take from first row of data" within the Dynamic Rename tool.
I have the following considerations;
1. year-over-year, the input file rows will change either up or down by just one
2. the "first row of data" across columns are on different rows (e.g. column 1 will have first data on row 1, but another column could have first data not until row 4)
3. Headers are originally blank - so a field info tool does not help as it just lists the columns as "F1, F2, F3, etc"
I am wondering if there is a formula that can be written within the 'dynamic rename' tool in order to run through each column and dynamically grab the first row of data, even if this is a different row for each column. I have tried several if-then formulas, but to no avail so far
Any help would be much appreciated!
And let me know if any support would make this more helpful to visualize, and I can populate some dummy data as an example.
Solved! Go to Solution.
This is perfect! Thank you
And yeah, you don't know the half of it with some of these input files we have lol
