Hi All,
I am loading excel files into ADLS and then into SQLMI. The incoming excel files are from a third part reporting tool that spits the output as an excel. All these excel sheets have a "TOTAL" at the end. Is there a way to skip the last row when COPY ing the files into ADLS?
Thanks

    Hey @bk ,

    The below logic might help :

    1. Get the overall row count of the excel sheet :
      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/35029/how-to-get-row-counts-from-files-stored-in-azure-s.html

    2) Then via Range parameter in excel dataset :
    rownbr-1

    That should help you to skip the last row and the column range would still be dynamic
