Why is my Excel header not being read correctly in Read Excel Advanced?

Use Header Handling Mode correctly.

FIRST_ROW

  • Uses the first data row as column names.

  • Best when headers are clean and aligned.

PREVIOUS_ROW

  • Uses the row before data begins.

  • Useful when headers sit just above the table.

CUSTOM_ROW

  • Explicitly define header rows.

  • Supports multi-row headers.


Example

If your Excel file looks like this:

  • Row 1–3: Title and logos

  • Row 4–5: Header

  • Row 6+: Data

Correct configuration:

  • Start Data Import on Line: 6

  • Header Handling Mode: CUSTOM_ROW

  • Custom Header Row: 4:5
