Hi

Thanks for replying ! It surely helps.
But what if the data file is having the following content

Product ID Product Name Product Type Cost
1 TV set Entertainment 10k
How in this case I would handle the spaces each cell (eg: col 0 row 1 etc) content is having.

Please notice the space in cell name 'Product ID', it is not 'ProductID'. Also on the other hand only 'Cost' is another cell name with no space in between .

Here col 2 row 1 should give me : Product Name
and
col 2 row 2 should give : TV set
