How to create a Polyline shapefile from CSV/excel data
Best answer by redgeographics
Ok, you can use 2 VertexCreators, one to create a point at the start easting/northing and a second one to add a point at the end easting/northing. That'll give you a 2-point line for every record in your Excel file. Potentially you can use a LineCombiner to join them into longer lines, but it looks like there's gaps between them.

That really depends on how the data is stored in your source file, can you share an example?
In my csv I have start and end easting(X) and northing(Y) also the lengths of pipes see the highlighted fields below
