- In Values to match on, enter the value you would like skipped
- In Replacement values, enter the error message you would like to receive
- Select Create Exception (Skip Row)
- In your profile, apply the dictionary to the field that the anticipated skip value will appear in, this field does NOT have to be mapped in the profile for the skip row functionality to work.
In your error file, you will see the error you specified in the skip row dictionary:
