How can i import a csv starting with row 2?

Hello,

 

I have a CSV which i have to edit every day.

In the first row there are some status informations and they are not relevant for the table.

at row 2 the table starts.

 

But how can i import this in powerquery.

Now my workaround is:

- open it in open office

- remove first row

- import it with powerquery

 

but is there a better way? 

 

thank you!

Hi @n8schicht ,

 

The answer given by @ElenaN  is a great option but I'm assuming you are not proeficcient in query editor and advance editing, best option would be to just filter out the row 2 from your dataset, when it's uploaded to the model it will only return the last step of your query.

Hello,

 

You can use the function Table.Skip to remove first needed rows. (after loading the initial/unmodified file in Power Query)
