Parameter to skip header rows in csv and file datasource

[dgedgedge]

Hi,
First thanks for the tool.

I was trying to get some gouv info for the corona.
I get this one :

• CSV
• Json

but I was not able to directly use it, because of initial dala rows.
It would be great to be able to specify the start row of the file as well as the colum titles / Date format...

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
thank you for the request.
This is about skipping header rows. I will look into this

Hello @dgedgedge
I tested an implementation of a skip-header functionality.
this would be the result of your data. is this what you would expect?

[dgedgedge]

Yes, this seems great.
I am not yet an expert in using analytics, but this seems appropriate, and lead to usage of those data.
This answers to the request.

One question we may have for more features are :

• Will we be able to select the colums to be printed afterward ?
• What about the date format ?
• Could the date be the 2nd column ?

But I think this should be another subject.
Thanks again for your concern.

Hello,
what you are asking for is real so called ETL processing.
selecting dedicated columns and so on.
Its planned but I have to see how I can get this implemented in a usable way

[dgedgedge]

OK.
Thanks for all.

Approach to make the row selection flexible

Testing with a selector for the columns.
Would this work for you?

That's perfect
