Copying an Excel file to a table's dataset

Maybe it's possible to do it that way but I dropped openpyxl 2.6.4 because I wasn't able to get Excel formulas evaluated.

So I started testing Apache POI libraries. I thought I had to buy a module for it but I saw this post:

I'm using Ignition 8.1 so if it's already there and I don't need to get a new module for it (although it's not expensive), then I better use it. Plus, I should be able to evaluate Excel formulas based on my inputs. So' I'm trying that out today.

So far it has been easier to play around with Apache POI libraries than with openpyxl 2.6.4. @JordanCClark makes it some much easier with the functions he shared.
