Excel file imported without column headers

‎06-02-2025 12:25 PM

Hi All -

 

I have an excel file that I'm importing as a data source but the column headers are not being read from Row 1. Instead the columns are showing up as Column 1, Column 2, etc. Any way to fix this?

 

Thanks...

Hi @Rnaval 

 

In power query, you just have to select Use First Row as header
