Sample Rows

Description

Sample Rows filters the data stream to return only specific rows based on their sequential row numbers. Use this step when you need to extract a subset of data for testing, debugging, or spot-checking — for example, pulling the first 10 rows or a specific range from a large dataset. You can specify individual row numbers, multiple numbers separated by commas, or ranges using double-dot notation. The step also outputs a line number field so you can track which row number each result corresponds to.
