How to replicate the summary / preview shown in a new Reader

When I add a new Reader, e.g., Excel, select a file, and then open the 'parameters' dialog, there's a summary showing 1. Sheets to Read, 2. Preview (of selected sheet), and 3. Attributes (of selected sheet). I want to replicate that in a workflow... how to do it?

I just want to know how to get this information from the file, I don't need to know how to format it and all that.

Hi,

Unable to understand your question. Do you want to add same reader twice?

Try using the "Schema (any format)" reader.

Yes if you are only interested in the schema (data model) the schema reader is the way to go.
