Sample Tool - return only the 2nd row and not 2nd +

DChaloult

I am using this configuration for the Sample tool:

 

  • "Skip 1st N rows" option.
  • Set the value of N to 1.

In this scenario, I have a list of 3 files, I am expecting the 2nd row "...11-20-24.xlsx" to return

3 rows.jpg

 

However, I get back rows 2 and 3 after the first row is skipped. 

2 files.jpg

 

My workaround is to add another Sample tool after that to then select the first row.

QUESTIONS:

  • Why is the Skip 1st N rows returning two rows (or really all files after the first row)?
  • Can I do this all with one tool? Is there a better way to get the 2nd row without having to add another tool?

Thank you

Use a Select Records tool and just grab "2"!

That's so much better than the sample tool! Thank you
