The same way you're skipping it with forEach - replace the dataObject expression with dataObject.slice(1).

for( const row of dataObject.slice(1) )

While CertainPerformace's solution is what most people, including me, would go with, it does have a the downside of having to make a temporary array copy, which would be bad when you have huge arrays (but completely unnoticeable usually).

To prevent copying the array, create a temporary variable to check if it's the first in the loop. The downsides of this is the temporary variable, and the if check on every iteration could make it slower.

let first = true;
for (const row of dataObject) {
  if (first) {
    first = false;
    continue;
  }
  // ... rest of script
}

And I would probably just use a traditional incremental for-loop anyways if you want more control over iteration, since forEach, for-of, and for-in are meant to iterate over everything.
