XLS file does not output all columns/names of columns

Hello,

the attached XLS file does not output all columns/names of columns. A print screen is attached with the issue. Basically, it outputs the column values, but does not output the column names, which are important later.

I have tried several config formats, read some solutions in here like selecting the table, but none of them sorted it. 
The input file path will have to go through a Dynamic Input dev tool. That is the original config.

I don't know how you are developing excel, but to merge columns it is necessary to use the report tools

the columns that are not being imported is because it is formatted in excel as numeric.

formatting the entire worksheet as a general format, the import is correct.

follow an example workflow

Thank you for this, although, your solution might work for some columns, but not all, as even when formatting, for example, column names like "Netbooks", "Tablet PC", "Workstations","Servers PC/Mac" and their subsequent columns are not coming out with their names.

We are not developing excel or merging columns, this is a plain open .xls file with Alteryx.

Thank you,

I really don't understand what your need is.

I opened excel and tried to reproduce the formatted columns to Alteryx.
I hope you find an answer to your need.


These lines you want to appear?
Total W.EUROPE
Total CEE (addition of CE +CA)
Total MEA (addition of ME + A)
Total EMEA (adition of WE+ CEE+MEA)
Total CE
Total ME
Total CA
Total A
Total O

lines 10,11 in the raw file are not showing up complete, as their values are somehow hidden or not showing up in the final result. 

So, ideally, a table like the one highlighted below,

Thank you

Sorry, I can't understand.
I'm sending a new workflow reading the excel that you passed by putting a select tool at the end to order the columns. If it is not the reading base, please send the file.

@geraldo 

to see if we manage to get it right, the output columns of the workflow provided are below:

Where are the columns like  "Netbooks", "Tablet PC", "Workstations","Servers PC/Mac" and subsequent columns for Consumer/Commercial in Netbooks and WorkStations as in the raw file? 

That is the question, have no other file than the one attached initially,

Did you check this new file I sent you?

@geraldo  yes,
but the result is the same, right after opening the file at Open file tool, rows 9/10  are missing some values, marked in red with what would be their value if they were present
