Hi @snagalapur,

 

If the first rows are not useful (and also not counting as headers), then just start importing from a specific line like:

If you have multiple null rows after the header, use a filter tool to filter out the first rows. You probably have some null values in a specific column until the point of the rows you actually want to use, just use the filter tool on that specific column and you'll be fine :-).

 

Greetings,

Hi @snagalapur,

 

When connecting to an Excel file you also have the ability to select a range or named range:
