Feature request: add option to read hidden rows
The ExcelDataReaderOptions already has the ReadHiddenWorksheets option. It would be nice to also have a ReadHiddenRows option. It should default to true in order not to break compatibility with existing code.
Would probably make sense to also allow skipping hidden columns.
Absolutely! Should probably be ReadHiddenCells instead of ReadHiddenRows. Would you be interested in a pull request?
No PR needed. I think I have it working for .xlsx, just need to add the other formats and add some test coverage.
Finally implemented in 0.4.28. Added ReadHiddenRows, but not ReadHiddenColumns, which can be easily achieved by using the DbDataReader.Select extension method provided in Sylvan.Data
