I'm trying to import data from an excel file, and each column in excel has
headers in it.

When I import, the raw data view grabs random data from that column (not
the same in every case) and uses those as the column titles.

The titles have underscores but otherwise nothing strange about them, no
empty rows, etc. The headlines are in the first row too.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here?

Hmm, that doesn't sound good. Any chance you can pass along the
spreadsheet so I can take a look?

I'm getting this problem as well.

Not sure why this is happening I have to say!

UPDATE:  It's that dratted blooming header option in excel!

I think what's happening is this: if there are any blank header cells,
Wizard assumes that's not actually the header and moves on to the next
line. I'll get this fixed up to be more intelligent in the next
release. In the meantime if you make sure there aren't any blank
header cells, it should work fine.
