-------------------------------------------------------------------
To tell you the truth, i'd rather keep using ConvertExcelToCSV - much cleaner
and understandable for other users.
P.S. still working on test file for
{noformat}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: This cell has a shared formula and it seems
setReadSharedFormulas has been set to false or the formula can't be evaluated

> 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.
