I am new in Pentaho data Integration and I have a request to ingest and excel file with dynamic columns names. The columns names will be added or be deleted every month. We will need to load the data into a database table. We don’t want to delete any database table field when column has been deleted in the Excel file but we want to add any new Excel column names.
For example we may have for
-
January column names : abc, cde, fgh, ijk
-
February column name: abc, cde, fgh, ijk, lmn — HERE column name lmn has been added.
-
Mars column name: abc, cde, ijk, lmn, opq — HERE column name fgh has been deleted and opq column has been added.
— April column name: abc, cde, lmn, opq, rst — HERE column name ijk has been deleted and rst column has been added.
I tried meta data ingestion and also what is in this link https://www.closeit.co/post/dynamic-fields-in-pentaho-data-integration
but it did not works.
