Write To Excel Template (deprecated)

This node writes the input data table into an existing Excel file without changing its formatting.
Alternatively a new file will be created based on the template file formats and data. The input data will be written to the second row without header by default (can be changed in the Advanced Options) Already populated cells in the input file will be overwritten.
The node supports three formats chosen by file extension: XLS,XLSX,XLSM
This node is deprecated and a newer version can be found in the extension. Future changes will only be done in the newer node
