How to select starting row of a table based on dynamic data volume of multiple data sets?

Hi All,

I am looking for a solution based on the attachment, where I have two separate data sets in Sheet 1 and 2 respectively.

 

The main data table for  Sheet 1 starts from row 12 and for Sheet 2 starts from row 15 respectively.

 

I have been using SAMPLE and DYNAMIC RENAME tools, such that I could configure the starting point of the table as given in the OUTPUT tab.

 

But as this can be dynamic based on volume of the data, is there a way the input tool can be configured with some other tool such that it exactly starts from exactly how it is given in the OUTPUT tab (that is to make the references adaptive to the templates)? I have posted the Output structure in another tab for reference. 

 

Any help on this would be highly appreciated!

 

Thanks

hi @db89 

 

You can specify starting row in "7 Start Data Import on Line" in Input tool configuration.

See attached WF for your ready reference.

Hi, @db89 

 

There is a dynamic solution for you , I assume you have merged all sheets already.

and of course, you can made a batch macro for start line of input.

Hey @gawa Gawa,

 

That is something I have done, and want to refrain from doing that because every inputs starting from import line will be different. :)
