File Adapter - Skipping first row (header row) in a csv file

How can I skip processing the first row in BPEL? I have a csv file and the first row has column header that I should not process.
Thanks

Hi,
Use nxsd:headerLines="1" in the declaration section see the sample below
Name,Street,City,State,Country

SSIS Excel import skip first rows

Hello,
1. Is it possible during import data from Excel to DB table skip first 6 rows for example?
2. Also Excel data divided by sections with headers. Is it possible for example to skip every 12th row?
Thank you,V. A.

1.In Excel connection you cannot remove the 1st n rows as you want.
2. Not possible.
1. YES YOU CAN. Actually, you can do this very easily if you know the number columns that will be imported from your Excel file. In your Data Flow task, you will need to set the "OpenRowset" Custom Property of your Excel Connection (right-click
your Excel connection > Properties; in the Properties window, look for OpenRowset under Custom Properties). To ignore the first 5 rows in Sheet1, and import columns A-M, you would enter the following value for OpenRowset: Sheet1$A6:M (notice,
I did not specify a row number for column M. You can enter a row number if you like, but in my case the number of rows can vary from one iteration to the next)
2. AGAIN, YES YOU CAN. You can import the data using a conditional split. You'd configure the conditional split to look for something in each row that uniquely identifies it as a header row; skip the rows that match this 'header logic'.
Another option would be to import all the rows and then remove the header rows using a SQL script in the database...like a cursor that deletes every 12th row. Or you could add an identity field with seed/increment of 1/1 and then delete all rows
with row numbers that divide perfectly by 12. Something like that...

How to ignore the first row in a csv import

Hello
This is the file we want to add to the datamodel:
https://www.mediafire.com/?a9xrwrwu79whu18
(BTW this is the csv output from a neat & free software called Jstock)
Here is an image of the problem:
As you can see they add automatically a timestamp in the A1 cell ruining the possibility of a clean import.
Can anyone help with a query to fix this and get the real headers?

Hi NicoPer,
To follow your M code. You have this lines #"First Row as Header" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source).
This mean you use first line ( the line include "timestamp=1415926728041" ) to make
table header. So you no need to use Table.Skip function. You just use one more Table.PromoteHeaders to make second line to your table header. Below is your code:
let
Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents("C:\PATH\JSTOCK.csv"),null,null,null,1252),
#"First Row as Header" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"First Row as Header",{{"timestamp=1415926728041", type text}}),
FirstRowAsHeader = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type")
in
FirstRowAsHeader

File Sender Adapter Skip first line in file

Hello to all,
I'm trying to read a file (nfs) using the file adapter.
The szenario works fine, but I need to skip the first line in the txt file (header line)
I tried parameter documentSkipFirstRows, without success.
Any ideas?
Regards Christian

Hi Kaiser,
May be the syntax problem.
use like this...
xml.documentSkipFirstRows 1
Syntax is
xml.documentSkipFirstRows=<noOfRows>
for more info refer this link..

Hi,
This is Application Express forum.
I think your question belongs more to SQL and PL/SQL forum. Searching from that forum I did find this
sorting - numbers first and then the alphabets ?

First Row Record is not inserted from CSV file while bulk insert in sql server

Hi Everyone,
I have a csv file that needs to be inserted in sql server. The csv file will be format will be like below.
1,Mr,"x,y",4
2,Mr,"a,b",5
3,Ms,"v,b",6
While Bulk insert it coniders the 2nd column as two values (comma separte) and makes two entries .So i used filelterminator.xml.
Now, the fields are entered into the column correctly. But now the problem is, the first row of the csv file is not reading in sql server. when i removed the terminator, i can get the all records. But i must use the above code terminator. If
am using means, am not getting the first row record.
Please suggests me some solution.
Thanks,
Selvam

Hi,
I have a csv file (comma(,) delimited) like this which is to be insert to sql server. The format of the file when open in notepad like below:
Id,FirstName,LastName,FullName,Gender
1,xx,yy,"xx,yy",M
2,zz,cc,"zz,cc",F
3,aa,vv,"aa,vv",F
The below is the bulk insert query which is used for insert above records,
EXEC(BULK INSERT EmployeeData FROM '''+@FilePath+'''WITH
(formatfile=''d:\FieldTerminator.xml'',
ROWTERMINATOR=''\n'',
FIRSTROW=2)'
Here, I have used format file for the "Fullname" which has comma(,) within the field. The format file is:
The problem is , it skip the first record (1,xx,yy,"xx,yy",M) when i use the format file. When i remove the format file from the query, it takes all the records but the "fullName" field makes the problem because of comma(,) within the
field. So i must use the format file to handle this. So please suggest me , why the first record skipped always when i use the above format file.
If i give the "FirstRow=1" in bulk insert, it shows the "String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated." error. I have checked the datatype length.
Please update me the solution.

Selvam. M

FCC..how to remove first row

<name>Teja</name>
<number>10</number>
could any one pls help me out on this?
I have used fieldNames,fielsSeparaor and ignorerecorstSetName as the content conversion parameters..
do i have to add any more?
Regards,
Teja

Hi,
You should achieve this by using Document Offset parameter on the Sender side. Set Document Offset to 1 in order to ignore the first line.
"● Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines."

I have Text file in my Machine which Contains very huge data so i was wrote one control file for that, and i got FTP connection also as well as.
My question is firstly I need to PUT the Text file Into Unix Server isn't?
so when i trying to put the text file into unix it's giving an error
ftp>put c:/abc.txt
Not connectedYou haven't succesfully made your FTP connection to the server.
e.g.

File Adapter only process first row.

Trying to read a csv file into a database table. I have successfully read the file but the BPEL process seems to only read the first row. I can't see any obvious errors.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found the solution I needed to use the for-each functionality in the transformation process.

Sqlldr - can you skip last row from a data file

Hi
I need to skip last line from the data file when I load the data into the tables. Is that possible to do using sqlldr, if yes How?
Also, the first row in the data file, which has a single column needs to be loaded into all the rows of the table. How can i do that?
Example
020051213
1088110 0047245 A 000000000000GB 00000496546700

The first line needs to go into all the rows, and the last row needs to be skipped. Remaining can be loaded normally. I think this would take multiple loads. Can anybody please help.
TIA

Regarding ssis - skip first 10 rows in excel source

Hi,
I have received an Excel Source file, but the first 10 rows have only company information; actual data starts from Row 11. How will you skip the first 10 rows and start reading from row 11

Hi Koteswararao,
If the first row includes the column names, and the first 10 rows you said don’t include the first row. That means you want to skip the rows from 2 row to 10 row, then we can union two Excel sources to work around this issue. For more details, please refer
to the following steps:
Set the FirstRowHasColumnName property of the Excel Connection Manager to False, so the first row stores the column names in the sheet.
Drag two Excel Sources to the Data Flow Task.
In the Excel Source, use the SQL command below to replace the former(supposing there are three columns in the Excel sheet: col1, col2 and col3):
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A1:C1]
In the Excel Source 1, please type the SQL command below (note that the ‘n’ means the number of rows in the sheet):
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A11:Cn]
Drag a Union All component to the same task, then union those two Excel Sources.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
