filter out rows from csv source

Hi,

I have a customer working with TimeXtender 7150.1 connected to Snowflake.

I have a .csv data-source connected through the Ingest. The ingest settings have a number of header rows removed. But in the data received, I have Totaal-rows that I want to skip or filter out.

The option to “filter rows” by right-clicking the data-source in the Ingest area is not available for this source:
 



My next option would be to add a data selection rule to the table connected to the ingestion.
 

But that has no effect: my result table has two rows (one from each .csv source) with Totaal.

The above data selection rule seems not to be used.

 

The only thing I can do to get it working, as far as I am aware, is to manually add a line of code, using the “Custom Code” option:




But I was told / had learned that using the data selection rule, would automatically change the transformation script.

I am not a fan of this solution, as it is not immediately clear to a new user (or to me in a year time) that I have changed the custom code this way.

Can you tell me if there is a cleaner way to have these Totaal rows filtered out?

And not having the option to filter out rows in the ingest now blocked and the not-having-effect of the data selection rule on table level… is that caused by Snowflake, or do I need to setup something differently?

 

Kind regards,

Rob van den Brink

Hi ​@RobvdBrink 

Have you tried to move the rule to the mapping instead of the main location?

You may have to make two rules, one for each.

It should work for the other, but it may be a workaround.
