Teiid Excel Translator should filter blank cells from header row ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-4883 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4883 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Misc. Connectors Reporter: David Vilaverde Assignee: Steven Hawkins Priority: Minor Fix For: 9.3 Attachments: fr-demo1-sample-data.xls The teiid translator for excel will throw a duplicate column name exception when using a spreadsheet that has 2 or more columns where the header row doesn't specify a header name. In the attached spreadsheet it's difficult to see that rows E-H should be deleted from the dataset. The proposed enhancement is to allow the translator for excel to exclude any trailing columns where there is no column name defined. I took a shot at making this enhancement and created a PR at https://github.com/teiid/teiid/pull/951 If this PR is not going to be accepted, can the methods in the ExcelMetadataProcessor me changed from private to protected so that the processor can be extended easily?
