So I have my excel sheet synced with my google sheets successfully, there is nothing wrong there, it updates fine and has no issues. The small annoying problem I have is that my headers are incorrect.

For example, on my Google sheets, it looks like this:
sheets.PNG


which is how I want it to look, however now on my excel sheet, it looks like this:

excel.PNG


And even if I rename A1 from Column1 to Stock #, and Column2 to Item ID etc, I then just end up with a duplicate line because A1,B1,C1,D1,E1,F1,G1 with be identical to A2,B2,C2,D2,E2,F2,G2 etc. and I can't seem to find a way to correct it because it's all being synced over from Google sheets. So even if I delete Row 2, it won't matter because when it updates, it will be replaced again and again.

Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it! <3

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
How are you syncing from Google Sheets? Via Power Query? If so you'll need to add a step to your query to promote headers.
