Output shape

binary data of the Excel file with specified rows deleted

The output file is returned as binary data, accessible via the specified output binary data name. If worksheet name is omitted, deletion applies to all worksheets. Errors halt execution unless 'Continue On Fail' is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Delete rows 1-5 and 10 from 'Sheet1' of an Excel file passed as binary data from a previous node and output the modified file as 'excel_rows_deleted.xlsx'

Set input method to 'From Previous Node (Binary Data)', specify binary property name, set worksheet name to 'Sheet1', row ranges to '1-5,10', output file name to 'excel_rows_deleted.xlsx'
