Thank you - AkshayJ

In my case,I am receiving excel files from client where 1st row is empty

2nd row has header name

and data from 3rd row

I want to ignore 1st row

set 2nd row and column header and 3rd row as data.

@shiva - Could you try using field remover stage after the directory and remove the field that are not important to you? This should fix the issue.

Hi @shiva - Just wanted to check if you are able setup the field remover as mentioned above.

Let us know know if you need any further help.

@shiva 

Please find attached the pipeline which will help you in fetching data from the excel template and ignore the cells having no values in it.

As part of the testing , i have created a file as per your use case having 2 rows no values in it and 3rd having header values and other rows having data in it.

Now i am skipping the cells having null values and reading the cells having data in it.

Attached pipeline and tested file and hope hope it helps . if you are having issues , please provide the sample input file, so i can validate it and help you on it.

Thanks & Regards
