Identifier data that should be present as column names is erroneously captured as Row 1. For eg: "KG", "PRECIO" below should not be captured). How to fix this
"KG", "PRECIO" should not be captured
Data from Column A and Column B are appearing as a single cell under one Column. For eg: Item code and description are present in the same cell under Description. How to fix this
