Hi Experts,

hi @imrasyed ,

Ya, its possible. Just increase header size during load, it will load data from desired row,

Thanks Subham,
But the source is .xlsb file and had to load it using ODBC connection.
So I am not able to see the Header Size option in wizard.
Its not a regular excel load instead its a SQL Select where we dont have that option.
Any alternative please let me know!!

Exactly I cant find a way to limit Header size of an XLSB file from sharepoint.

Can anyone help me in this too?

I doubt that there are possibilities to configurate and/or customize the database and/or the driver to pick the n row as the table-header. But you could load this row and then looping over all values or crosstable the values to create a mapping to rename the fields later or applying any similar logic.

Beside this you could of course create the load-statement manually with an appropriate renaming, like:

...
F1 as FieldX,
F2 as FieldY
...
