    Wait, do you mean in an excel file or do you mean a data-table variable from a text file? and what kind of row skipping are we talking about, e.g. skip every one row or skip blank rows?

    yes I mean Text file. I have shared the below example of screen shot. I can skip (remove) 12 lines in PAD.

    Hi @abhishja 

     

    You could manually skip those lines. Example:

    If you want a more dynamic table skip though, consider using [If "CurrentItem" is "Empty"] like so:

    it will remove the blank item from the variable list, if that is what you're looking for?
