KNIME and Python's openpyxl to extract named tables (ranges) from Excel file (using the bundled KNIME Python version)

KNIME and Python's openpyxl to extract named tables (ranges) from Excel file (using the bundled KNIME Python version)
https://forum.knime.com/t/read-from-excel-table/38190/8?u=mlauber71

The Excel File "Tables.xlsx" contains 4 named Table ranges which will be imported into KNIME. First in one step. The second Python node would give back the cell ranges and use that information to extract the tables
