This part of the Post is update on 20 – jun – 2010 in order to cover the few issue related to reading and avoiding unnecessary null Rows .
For some of the Excel files , the sheets don’t appear if you select ‘ Tables’ , we need to select ‘ System Tables ‘
Removing Unnecessary Null Rows
Due to space between the Main Header and the data , the space rows is captured as you can see in the below screenshot.
to remove this just put a Filter condition
and you will not have any more space being captured
[Note : please use the column which is unique and is like a primary id , since using a wrong column can lead to Filter of Correct Data ]
Removal of Extra Header
Some time we have header being in First few lines and they are visible in the data to remove that just use a simple Filter condition
Here i am trying to remove the unnecessary Header called base from the data , just use a simple query with column_name !=’string to be removed’
