How to get only column header while processing the data.

[dizy_11]

Hi all,

In alteryx is there any way  to select only column header while processing the data? 

Note:- I have to input whole data but just for some data preparation i need to take only headers at some point in the workflow.

Is there any tool for doing so?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @dizy_11 

You can use Sample tool or Select Record tool.

Interesting approach @AkimasaKajitani even I haven't used this method before.

Hi @dizy_11 

Additional to @AkimasaKajitani's method you can also use a filter tool. Filter nulls on a non-null column. Which will filter out all rows to false and you will get only headers in true.

Hope this helps 🙂
