[I] [Bug]: Excel Input row numbering not intuitive (hop)

alexmller opened a new issue, #5915:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/5915

   ### Apache Hop version?
   
   2.15
   
   ### Java version?
   
   openjdk 17.0.16+8-LTS
   
   ### Operating system
   
   macOS
   
   ### What happened?
   
   *Microsoft Excel Input* starts numbering *Start row* at the index (0) while spreadsheet tools show (1) as the first row number. This for example would fail, because spreadsheet row (4) would be read, when configuring "Start row" (3):

   <br />
   vs.

   Same goes for *Start column*, even though spreadsheet tools use letters instead of numbers. Ideally one could enter Letters as "Start column" instead.
   
   I suggest this as a bugfix to be planned for release 3.0, as it introduces a breaking change.

   Yes, this was proposed a while back but might not have been migrated from Jira as it would break all existing implementations.
   Might be a good idea to add to a 3.0 release.
