Solved: Query Editor - delete first row

Anonymous · ‎04-17-2019

Hi,

I have a source excel file with headers in the second row. So I wish to delete the first row and promote the next row to headers. Please can you tell me how to delete the first row? (I can't just filter out blanks because I don't trust the user not to type some notes in the first row).

Many Thanks,

CM

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my test, you could use the remove the Top N function to delete the first row in query editor:

In the top left corner of the table is a context menu. Click it, and select “remove top rows, 1”
