Hi @kevinwilson1 
Can you please share sample data or data format image
What is the source of data?
Better if you put some non sensitive data (2 rows) and paste here, it will helpful for me to analysis

Hi this message happens with all of the excel spreadsheets i try and transform the data with, does it make a difference if these excel sheets have been used before in previous reports? i can load the data but it comes up with columns where i want to transform this to using the row below. That is all the data i can send really due sensitivity of the data.

Hi @kevinwilson1 

Please clear catch
