Split tables from One Excel File

hi,

I have below two kinds of table data in one Excel, the Summary Details table is the one I don't need, and the rows length is not fixed, how to use Alteryx to make data cleansing to keep only the "Processing details" table? There are blanks between the two tables.

thank you, but this is just am example, the fact could be hundreds of rows and it is not fixed, any other ways to split tables not by selecting range?

@wendyzjy is there any label or name present in your excel to identify these two tables? I mean how you identify which table is summary details and which one is processing details?
