Load variable amount of records in script

I have a set of Excel-files, all with the same column headers but with a vairable amount of rows which contain data. Below the rows with the data I want to retreive, some other calculations are performed.

An example is given in the uploaded file:

  • In this file two sets of data (in reality representing two files) are in sheets "SourceFile1" and "SourceFile2".
  • Only the data in yellow are to be imported.
  • The headers of the columns (in blue) are used as header in Qlikview as well and are identical for all source-files.
  • The data in red (in the same columns as the yellow cells) need to be ignored on importation.
  • The basic result in Qlikview is shown in sheet "Output in Qlikview".

If I load the whole sheet, I become rubbish in the tables because I only need the base data (product names and amounts = yellow cells) but all data (also the calculations) are imported and shown in my table.

Extra information on the source-files: The structures is always the same.

  • Row1: Column header
  • Row2: White line
  • Row3...X: Products
  • Row X+1: White line
  • Row X+3: Start other calculations (to be ignored in script).

The only variable is here "X" (=amount of products), but is unknown at time of executing the script.

Can someone help me to create a LOAD-statement that can perform the above ?

Thanks in advance !
