How to load redshift table from amazon s3 bucket excel file using copy commands?

Question

In my S3 bucket I have .xls file (this file is grouped file, I mean first 20 row having some image and some extract details about client).

So first I want to convert .xls into .csv then I load Redshift table through copy commands and ignore first 20 rows also.

Note: I manualy save as .xls into .csv then I try to load Redshift table through copy commands is successfully loaded. Now my problem is how to convert .xls into .csv through Pentaho jobs.

You can convert excel to csv by using transformation with just two steps inside:

1. Microsoft Excel input - it should read rows from your excel file
2. Text file output - it saves rows from step 1 to csv file
