The headers

Hi,

I have to remove the first 15 lines from the csv file input data to work with it.  I want to add these lines to the output excel file as the headers.

How can I do it ( the second part)?

Hi @Abdelrahmanmahdy 

 

Some example would be helpful, but to start you could use a sample tool to isolate the first 15 records into one data stream, and then a second sample tool connected to the input that skips the first 15 records to compose your second stream of data.

Add a Record ID tool at the start of the workflow with a Filter Tool after it. Anything less than or Equal to 15 goes on the True side anything Greater than 15 goes on the False side. Then add a Union tool to the end of the workflow to add the 15 records back at the top of the output.

I want to add the first 15 rows above the headers in the output. see the below workflow and sample of the input.

You can read the file with only the required 14 lines

and generate as rows of data

I didn't understand how you want a header to come out on top of the other data
