table = Table.load_xls('myspreadsheet.xls')

# do not assume the data has column names - default is false.
table = Table.load_xls('myspreadsheet.xls',{:has_column_names => false})

# Select sheet - default is the first sheet.
table = Table.load_xls('myspreadsheet.xls', {:select_sheet => 1})

# Start row - default is the first row. Use this to override where
              the first row should start.
table = Table.load_xls('myspreadsheet.xls', {:start_row => 1})
