Hi Micha,


can you elobrate a bit more on these situations where the data has no column header, cause I don't know them.



Well, just a few theoretical examples:

I might have several tables of data from some sensor (i.e. rainfall, temperature) with dates, long/lat and column headers. Merging all the tables would cause the column headers to get repeated for each table. I usually just remove *all* column headers, then import, and point to the correct columns for long/lat.


When I extract values from a multiband raster at point locations (for some ML model) I get just columns of values; the actual column names are not important.


Hope that clarifies.

Hi Andrea,

thanx for clarifying.

imho this is not a "wise" design decision. Maybe I am too less a pro, but i can't think of any situation when someone seriously working with table data does NOT want to have a column header. What would be the advantage of that?


There are situations where the data table contains only data: no column headers.


Ok, if this is a GDAL-design decision, then at least QGIS should have default settings in the environment preventing this.

An ordinary user will never ever expect this behaviour nor find this setting by himself.

Cheers,

Bernd

Hi Bernd,
this is by design: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/1c5bc766513c4407f702bd8cd8bfa958ed61cfea/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/xlsx/ogrxlsxdatasource.cpp#L597-L598

Hi Jonas,
you can set a GDAL/OGR configuration option, like OGR_XLSX_HEADERS, via the "Settings" -> "Options" -> "System" -> "Environment" setting panel in QGIS.

Regards.
