Create field names from row

I am using Alteryx to read a sheet from an Excel file and the column headers are on the 5th row of the spreadsheet.  Is there a way to create column headers from this row?  Thanks in advance!

Hi @robertcox87 

 

You can either change your Input tool for Excel file to set 'Start Data on Import Line' = 5, order you can use the Dynamic Rename tool to take headers from the first line of data.  See attached sample.

Hello,

 

On Input Date Tool you have the option to start importing the data from a specific row.

I hope this helps you.

Hi @robertcox87 

 

Start your import on line 6. This will make line 5 your headers.
