First 3 rows as Field name

gauravdang

Hi,

 

i am trying to use a concatenate of first three rows to form field header names. i can use dynamic rename to make first row as header but that doesnt solve the purpose.

 

Example snippet below

 Output required

instead of 6 i am looking for Estimated Gross Profit, then for 7 i want Estimated GP Margin and so on. Similarly for field 12, i want Costs To Date as Field or Header, whichever way you call it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hey @gauravdang,

Heres a simple way to do this:

I used the summery tool to concatenate the field names:

Here's one way I can think to do it, ought to be fully dynamic as well:

Thanks for the response. this is super helpful. Once query though, when using summarize tool, and then concantenate i removed "," and replaced with a space, however i still see commas.

Hey @gauravdang

can you show the configuration of you summarize tool? Or attach your workflow or sample data?

Note that Separator box has been tested as blank, with space and with comma. All spit out the same result.

@gauravdang that seems good, and if you click on the concatenate for field 1 and 2 it is the same?

Yes.

@gauravdang Does the workflow I sent over do the same?
