I believe you can use
[QueryRecord|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-standard-nar/1.6.0/org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.QueryRecord/index.html]
to filter out the empty columns. See [~exceptionfactory] comment earlier from
3/20/2023 13:19.
Please see this very detailed [tutorial
|https://medium.com/cloudera-inc/building-an-effective-nifi-flow-queryrecord-cca5ba51afd5]and
see the section titled 'How to Use It — Filter Out Columns' .
As for Starting Row having a flowfile attribute scope, that I believe you can
make a Jira ticket for. Thanks!

> Add Excel Record Reader
> -----------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-11167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11167
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: David Handermann
> Assignee: Daniel Stieglitz
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0-M1, 1.23.0
>
> Time Spent: 10h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> A new Excel Record Reader should be implemented to support reading XSLX
> spreadsheet rows as NiFi Records. This Reader will enable integration with
> various record-oriented components, obviating the need for the narrowly
> focused ConvertExcelToCSVProcessor. The initial version of the Excel Reader
> should not support the legacy binary XLS format.
> The ExcelReader should use a library that supports reading from a stream of
> rows to avoid consuming large amounts of heap memory during processing.
> The ExcelReader should support configurable properties to read selected
> sheets. With Excel supporting typed field values, some amount of field type
> mapping will be required. Additional input filtering properties should not be
> implemented as existing Processors like QueryRecord support a wide variety of
> filtering and projection use cases.
