This is working if we use the header patterns in Matchconfig.

In database structures column names don't support spaces. And the excel columns headers also should not have spaces. This is to ensure proper match in case multiple columns are there with similar names. Thats why in standard practice avoid spaces in column/header names. If you are getting spaces dynamically then use functions like trim() to remove the leading/trailing spaces.

Hi Anusuya K Mahalingam

Try this logic. It may help you.

a!localVariables(
  local!synonyms: { "CUST_STYLE_1": { "CUST_STYLE_1" } },
  local!matchConfig: {
    includeUnmatchedColumns: true,
    fuzzyBoost: true
  },
  local!data: readexcelbyheaders(
    excelDocument: todocument(5279),
    expectedHeaders: { a!keys(local!synonyms) },
    headerSynonyms: local!synonyms,
    matchConfig: local!matchConfig
  ),
  local!data
)

If Synonyms is passed, this is working fine.
