I have data in a file that looks similar to this:
Company Name | Apple | |||
Total Employees | 100 | |||
Compensation | ||||
Name | Age | Hours | Manager1 | Manager2 |
James | 20 | 40 | Annie | Jack |
John | 25 | 40 | Kuldeep | Jack |
Amy | 22 | 40 | Arthur | Albert |
I want to use the select tool to grab the following columns: Name, Hours, Manager1. However, when I try to use the tool, these headers do not show up and instead I see F1, F2, F3 etc. I want to ignore rows 1-5 and only use data from row 6 onwards,
I have tried using the "Start Data Import on Line 6" feature in the Input Data tool, but that only worked for a smaller sample size I was testing with. It disappears when I use the larger file I want to work with.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@shaheer The above workflows should work in this version. Please let us know your progress.
@binuacs @Emmanuel_G I've managed to work a way around the issue to get what I need, this is only the sample size but I get the desired result as needed and I am able to skip the rows while using the dynamic rename tool to change the header values. I will be testing with the actual file size momentarily. Thanks for your guys' help btw!
@shaheer The solutions above are the optimal way, you can also do select records and a dynamic rename if for some reason you are not able to do it.
Select Records: 6-
Dynamic Rename: "Take field names from first row of data"
Hope this helps!
