Hello @MarStu,

welcome to KNIME Community!

Well if there is no content before headings your heading will always end up in first row if you uncheck option _Table contains column names…_. Then you promote first row to column header.  
See solutions from this topic for it: [Promote a Row to be a Column Name](https://forum.knime.com/t/promote-a-row-to-be-a-column-name/17574)

Maybe it would be useful to have an option to have first non empty row as header in Excel Reader…

Br,  
Ivan
