Header row not showing up

Hi, I am trying to load a table from excel sheet which has headers. When I load it in Power BI, header row is missing and it just displays Column 1, 2 ,3 etc and then the data. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I got it. I had to remove all the filters first and then load the table and then apply the solution you suggested. Thanks for your help on this !

Go to get data

Now we find implementation 1.0 and 2.0

Click on 2.0

You find options Like this below screenshot

But click on Default

Go to Edit Query and select First row as header

 

Select first row as headerSelect first row as header

The issue is that header row is not even showing up when table is loaded. The data underneath is only pulled up and displayed. So even if I try to make first row as header, it will be a data row and not actual header columns.

hello you have to charge the tablet directly from the query editor there you will find the option to add the first row as header.
