Summarize data with dynamic date header

I have a Excel data sheet that I pull data from and analyze with other data sheets

The data sheet has a date used in the header of the columns that I want to use in the final summary, however it is not located on the first row (it is a formatted table that starts the data a few rows down)

 

(data source #1)

Data sheet 2 (GL detail)

I want to create a summarized table that uses the date headers from the first data sheet with GL detail from another data sheet

(Column F will be a calculation from the first sheet, column G will be the summed totals from the second sheet.

That way anytime I insert a new file into the workflow, the dates will appear

The biggest thing I struggle with is getting the date headers from the first sheet when it is located on the 4th row of the excel file. 

Thanks,

Todd

So the dynamic rename tool will change the header name to whatever is listed on a file that is input into the workflow?

yes, it will. use the option from the dropdown menu.

 

even you can change the name of the fields using the formula window in this tool itself.
