								Cell address objects are stored as `{c:C, r:R}`  where `C`  and `R`  are 0-indexed
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								column and row numbers, respectively.  For example, the cell address `B5`  is
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								represented by the object `{c:1, r:4}` .
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								Cell range objects are stored as `{s:S, e:E}`  where `S`  is the first cell and
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								`E`  is the last cell in the range.  The ranges are inclusive.  For example, the 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								range `A3:B7`  is represented by the object `{s:{c:0, r:2}, e:{c:1, r:6}}` . Utils
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								use the following pattern to walk each of the cells in a range:

								`undefined` ) before attempting to export.  The utilities will regenerate the `w`  
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								text from the number format (`cell.z`) and the raw value if possible.

								The raw value is stored in the `v`  field, interpreted based on the `t`  field.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								Type `b`  is the Boolean type.  `v`  is interpreted according to JS truth tables
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								Type `e`  is the Error type. `v`  holds the number and `w`  holds the common name:

								Type `n`  is the Number type. This includes all forms of data that Excel stores
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								as numbers, such as dates/times and Boolean fields.  Excel exclusively uses data
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								that can be fit in an IEEE754 floating point number, just like JS Number, so the
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								`v`  field holds the raw number.  The `w`  field holds formatted text. 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							
							
								Type `d`  is the Date type, generated only when the option `cellDates`  is passed.
