Inbound csv import starting at a specific row

I have an inbound action that is creating a data source from a csv

On import I have the inbound action set to current.header_row = 5

I would expect the import to start from row 5 as header and then import the data from row 6 onward, however it keeps failing and is trying to still import the data in the csv file from row 1

My csv file has 4 title rows and the header row is actually on row 5

I need to ignore the files title rows and start the import from header row 5 and then the data is in rows 6-### (can be any number of rows that follow the header

This file comes from an automated system

The first 4 rows have report information

The actual data that I need to transform starts at row 5 (header row)

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Thank you

hI patricia,



Can you check if the import set table has all the columns in the excel created as fields?


Hi, Yes the import set table has the fields that are in the csv file


The data in the file is a number and the field is set as a string


I am using coalece also on this field
