Hi Gennaro,

It's possible but a bit tricky

You need the GroupBy Heater to grouping the CSV or Excel records. The problem is that usually the GroupBy Heater group’s data related to the content.

In your case you need the .NET Script Heater and a short C# Script to simulate the group value. Please have a look to the example I’ve attached. In the Script there is a remark were you can change how many rows are grouped together.

With this we can group always four CSV or Excel rows on the READ site to one record on the WRITE.

Now we just have to decide which row/content we have to move to the WRITE side. You need for each field one IF-THEN-ELSE condition together with one AutoID Heater to decide which grouped row you want to put to the WRITE.

NOTE: The IF-THEN-ELSE condition =1 means that the row content from the first are moved to the field, =2 ….
