Hi,
I am connecting to a Excel sheet located on sharepoint.
The first row of the sheet has
A1 = ""
B1 = ""
C1 = "Data for June"
D1=""
when it brings in the data intially into power BI the column headings in Power BI are Column1,Column2,Data for June,Column4
How do i set it to not call the 3rd column "Data for June" but Column3 instead?
i think i have to change
= Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File"(#"Sample File")))
but not sure to what
thanks
gareth

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. It addes the column headers at a point before i can remove the top row, or add the index column
thanks
Gareth
In your Transform file code
Go to Transform menu - Use Headers as First Row
Home menu - Remove Rows - Remove Top Rows - Give a value of 1
1. add index column
2. replace value if index column=0/1(first row)
