How to use

It basically assuems spread sheet like:

• Header names are in first row or second row
• First column stores id of data in row
• Worksheet name doesn't start with '_'. Column header row is decided by -c option (default: 1). Some case, first row contains flag (only not empty columns are processed) and headers are in second row, you can use -f 1 -c 2. Rows before column header row and flag row are ignored.

You can cnage id column by using -i 2. In this case left cells from id cell are ignored.

If you want to ignore worksheet whose name starts with Test, you can pass -s Test as an option.
