I am not a perl guru, but generally if you do not want to process a row or column, you can test in the row or column for loop with 'if' for ranges not desired and just 'continue', preventing their output. There were two for loops before, but now they are edited out! You may have to translate to zero based array indexing, so starting at row 3 may be "if ( x < 2 ) continue ;". There are samples and examples with the PERL libs on CPAN. Spreadsheet::ParseExcel - search.cpan.org
