Import excel sheet to Tableau but not shown the sheet title automatically

46 views Asked by At

When I import the Excel to Tableau, the title of the sheet is not shown automatically, it only shows F1, F2, F3, F4, etc.....

How can I deal with that despite manually rewriting the title?

I tried to modify the Excel sheet

From your first image it looks like you just need to delete the first row so that your header row is set as the first row. If you want to do this before you open the file in Tableau you can clean your dataset with Tableau Prep or Python/Pandas.

Python:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel('YOURFILE')
df = df.iloc[1:]
df.to_csv('OUTPUTFILENAME.csv')
