changes not being saved ??

I am new to DeskTOP BI but an Excel guru. I thought this would be easy, ha ha ha.  The interface isnt easy....   I load a csv from my PC. It seems fine except, header row is being treated as data. ...

yes I did.

 

I guess I figured it out. Changes are not saved unless you have built a report. even if/when you hit the "close query & save" button.

 

can anyone confirm this "feature" (I call it a bug.)

    one thing i'm little confused why you are not getting heading from csv, here is what i did

     

    - click get data drop down

    - selected csv

    - select the csv file

     

    and i get following screen shot and you can see the headers are there:

      W/r to headers, that is not my experience. The 1st row in BI was my headers, and above it, BI added a set of column names "column 1" etc etc. These new names are what should up in the visualization construction window. (dont know what else to call it).

       

      I can't easly replicate, cause, I've now built a report, and results of query (to fix 1st row) are now saved.

       

      I may try to upload with a diff file name and see what happens later today.
