Specify the row where data starts

Currently on the input tool I can only specify if the first row contains data.  It would be great if I could simply specify which row the data starts on, ie. row 4 or row 500, and then specify which row, if at all, contains the headers.

@ARich I agree with @cpbrehmer and @bpschoon that specifying the row for .xlsx files would be helpful as well.

Thanks for all of the feedback! I have added "Specify Which Row to Start Data Import for .xlsx Files" to the backlog and we should be able to get that in for 11.0!

 

Best,

Alex
