+# Excel Format Plugin
+This plugin enables Drill to read Microsoft Excel files. This format is best
used with Excel files that do not have extensive formatting, however it will
work with formatted files, by allowing you to define a region within the file
where the data is.
+
+The plugin will automatically evaluate cells which contain formulae.
+
+## Plugin Configuration
+This plugin has several configuration variables which must be set in order to
read Excel files effectively. Since Excel files often contain other elements
besides data, you can use the configuration variables to define a region within
your spreadsheet in which Drill should extract data. This is potentially
useful if your spreadsheet contains a lot of formatting or other complications.
+
+* `headerRow`: Set to -1 if there are no column headers.
+* `lastRow`: This defines the last row of your data. The default is an
arbitrary large number. You only will need to set this if you want Drill to
stop reading at a specific location.
