Hi @Amy123 ,

 

I built the attached workflow:

- used flaf file -  mapping one column.

- skip 1st two lines

- dynamic rename to get column names

- text to columns with tab delimiter to get your columns right.

- auto filed to adjust data types

 

It seems to have worked.

Hi @Amy123 

 

The "Period Period Part Account in one column" is the column with your "original data", you don't need it. the other columns should be right.

 

you can ignore the 1st column using the select tool.

 

open the Select Tool configuration and deselect the 1st column:

and the last column:

can you try now and let me know if it works? see attached

 

Thanks!
