Add Records above Header

NRD

Good Moring,

 

I have the below data set. My headers begin where the line is bolded. I am trying to add the records above the headers, and have the "header" row duplicated before the live data below it. Please help!

Hi @NRD 

 

There are a couple of tools you can use to deal with that. Sample Tool and Select Records will be useful to isolate parts of your report and bring them together later.

You can also play around with the Reporting Tools.

Could you please give an example of how your input comes and your output should be?

@PhilipMannering This is very helpful thank you. I have tried doing something along those lines however when I union my text input to my live stream of data I get two columns with the same naming convention. One has the data and the other one is blank. They are not matching up. Any clue why this would be?

This is my result after duplicating the headers to be "Record 5." I am getting my live data back from the first two columns but I am just getting nulls for the field "Acct." There is the same field populated with the live data. Why are these fields not matching up?

I can't think why that would be happening. Do you have a screenshot of the workflow and logs (the messages in the results pane after running)? Better still, some dummy data of how the data comes in would help solve this.
