Input Excel file clean up

Hello Alteryx Community. I have attached a file, where the main header of all columns breaks into multiple rows. For designing Alteryx formulas, we will need the top header of each column in one line/cell instead of multiple lines/cells. Is there a shortcut in Alteryx to merge multiple rows of a header to one cell ? Or we have to do it manually before running the Alteryx ? Please refer to the attached file for more details. I have left comment inside the attached file for better understanding, I have attached a sample client data and the desired output of what am looking for.

Hi @AroopChand ,

 

Its possible. Can you provide a sample at least with one or two rows. I can prep up a proper workflow.

Hi.. I have attached the sample in original query, refer to rows 3-10 in Sheet 1. Let me know if that works to run a simple workflow.
