Good day,
I receive an automated CSV file daily on a SH Document library location.
1. The first row is a general message; when importing via WEB URL from SH, how do I make the second row my header?
2. I also have a dimensional column that I want to split into multiple columns based on the row/cell number of "TAB" (Country (O TAB), Region (1 TAB), City (2 TABS)). Here is an example of the value
Collumn: Location
Row1: South Africa
Row2: "TAB" Western Cape
Row2: "TAB" "TAB" Cape Town
Please Help with any ideas
Regards

Hi @icassiem Try this please
Make Second Row the Header:
Remove the first row in Power Query (Remove Rows > Remove Top Rows).
Promote the second row as headers (Transform > Use First Row as Headers).
Split "Location" Column by "TAB":
Replace "TAB" with a delimiter like | (Transform > Replace Values).
Split the column by the delimiter (Transform > Split Column > By Delimiter).
Trim spaces (Transform > Trim).
If this post helped please do give a kudos and accept this as a solution
Thanks In Advance
