Maxim Valyanskiy commented on TIKA-250:
---------------------------------------

Yes there are real cases where we really need to know names of the empty 
sheets. For example we faced the following issue. In the workbook each sheet 
represented a branch of the company, some sheets were empty just because 
information was not filled in yet. So when we extracted text from the files the 
names of some branches were missed. So later when we tried to search our 
database for these particular names we failed to find this information.
