I have a excel sheet which has a format like:

-----    -------     ------    ----
aaa      xxx          123...    11

bbb      yy

I've never used it, but the skip option should do what you need.

You can define the number of rows to skip in your control file like this:

OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA INFILE ...

Or you can do it at the command like like this:

sqlldr userid=xxxx/yyyy control=mycontrolfile.ctl skip=1
