How to avoid duplication of Header in Output files

Nethaji_5

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to consolidate all the files in a folder to a single spreadsheet. But I'm facing duplication of header name from all the files and also, I could see F1, F2 as column names.

 

I need proper heading without duplication of headers, please let me know your suggestions.

Hi @Nethaji_5 

 

Can you provide the workflow with the input files.

 

2 things you need to do.

 

1st use dynamic rename and select config below

now you have the needed header

 

2nd now use filter to remove the rows where [Date]='Date' (Date column contains value date)

 

This should fix it.

 

The reason its happening is your data in file is not starting from row 1 but row 2

 

Hope this helps 🙂
