Hi @Sriram369 

 

I used a different method to clean up the data - please see below and workflow attached. The data itself is in a nice and tidy format, so it's easiest to separate it from the headers. I did cheat as far as the field headers are concerned. It is possible to extract the them from the data and clean it up - it's a bit more work so let me know if this is required.

thank you for your time and effort.

i have few questions to clarify 

1. I have attached excel sheet in .xlsx format which was initially in pdf format- why I couldn't use the same workflow (attached pdf format for your reference)

2. you have changed the file format to .xlsb (Microsoft excel binary)- why this format been used
