Required help

I have a dataset where first 6 records are not useful. I wanted to instruct PowerBI to use 7th row as header. How would i do that?
Can someone please help me.

Hi Bansi008,

 

In Query Editor, remove the first six rows, then use the top row (originally your seventh row) as your headers. You might have to remove some default Applied Steps from the right pane first.
