Excel Adapter - When importing an Excel spreadsheet. Use the first Row as the Column Names.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When importing an Excel Spreadsheet as a type tree, the importer creates a type tree with Generic Names : ie . COLA COLB.....

If the importer can have an option to use the first ROW as the Column Names, then when the type tree is created, the Column names would be meaningful to the data.

How will this idea be used?

When there is an excel file that is being used in a map where the Excel file has the column names in the first row.

A developer would use the Excel Importer, choose the Spread Sheet Name, check option - First Row has Column Names -- Type Tree is created.


The Type Tree would have the Column Field names from the first row of the Excel Spreadsheet. They would be the components of the ROW.


This would help identify the column names and save the developers from having to over ride the default Column names.
