Import csv or txt, first line as column name failed
Hello,
When I import a csv or txt file, the first line is not recognized as column name, though in Python code it works perfectly.
In DSS, after the import, I have :
- In first line, I have col1, col2, etc
- In second line, the true name of the column as they are in the original csv/txt file
- Starting from third line, I have the rows
What is the solution to import a csv/txt with the appropriate col names ? I could not figure it out.
Thanks and kindest regards

You should be to adjust which line the true column names are on. Using "Skip First Lines" options. You can set that to 1 and user check Parse Next line as column headers.
If my .csv file is
column1,column2
actual_name,other_name
some_value,some_valueThis is what I would see :
Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks,
Alex

If you already have a dataset you can go settings and Format/Preview Tab. To get these options.
Additionally, you can reach this page when you create a dataset from a file there will be the Preview button once you import the file.
Let me know if you still have issues finding these options.

After Importing its working. Can we do the same in between the flow for any of the dataset.
