Summary: ExcelReader - new Schema Access strategy: Use String Fields From Header Key: NIFI-12491 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-12491 Project: Apache NiFi Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core Framework Reporter: Philipp Korniets ExcelReader needs an ability similar to CSVReader to "Use String Fields From Header" as a Schema Access Strategy. Current implementation has: 1. Use Schema Name/Schema Text - this option relies on the order of the columns. Possible issues - order of the columns change, but types dont. This cause further calculations to be erroneous. 2. Infer Schema - replaces real column names with column_1,column_2 etc - this again loses the "context" of the column and forces us to rely on how columns are ordered. Any workarounds make workflow more complicated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
