Importing blank columns

Hi 

 

I'm trying importing my excel workbook which only have 5 columns with data, however when the data is imported I get my 5 columns as well as thousands of blank columns after.

 

Would anyone know why this is happening?

 

Thanks!

HI @Anonymous ,

You can consider enter to query editor to select specific fields and remove blank rows or use excel connector to get data.
