Google Sheets Tools Input Tool skipping blank rows

I am using the Google Sheets Tool from:

https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Google-Sheets-Tools/5952d212a18e9e0e48a0cafe

 

However it is skipping the blank rows in the Spreadsheet.

 

Here is what the spreadsheet looks like:

And here is what Alteryx reads in:

Please advise.

Hi Saqib, 

 

I tested this on my own google sheets, and i think because everything in this line is Null that it just takes it out.  (A bit annoying) 

 

Although I couldn't find a way to configure the workbook to fix it.

If you put a space in column 1 on your google sheet  It will keep rows as there is a value in the line now.  

 

Sorry this is only a hack and not an out and out fix. 

 

I attached a workflow for fixing up that data after the change in the data source.  

 

Best
