@yosukewatanabe For an xlsx file, you can use the SQL editor to write something like:

 

SELECT * FROM `Sheet1$A2:I3`

Here is a picture.

 

Alternatively, you could also bring in the entire file like normal and then use the select records tool to grab those 2 rows. You could use the dynamic rename if you needed to rename the columns.

Hi @patrick_digan

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Certainly, this method is used when the number of columns is identical.

 

However,what if the number of columns is not identical?

 

for example, one excel worksheet has 8 colums(A-H), the other one has 10 colums(A-J).

@yosukewatanabe how about 

SELECT * FROM `Sheet1$2:3`

That seemed to work.
