Shift First Row down when inserting Cells Data Table Rows

Possible Usage Scenarios

Aspose.Cells allows you to shift first row down when inserting table into the worksheet. This document explains how you may accomplish the task using Aspose.Cells APIs.

Shift First Row down when inserting Cells Data Table Rows

The following sample code illustrates how to shift first row down when inserting table into the worksheet. We use a simple template Excel file in code to demonstrate the feature. You can exercise the feature by setting the boolean ImportTableOptions.ShiftFirstRowDown attribute to True/False to better understand it. Please see the sample Excel file, output Excel False file, and output Excel True file for your reference.
