            System.out.println("Tutorial 35");
            System.out.println("----------");

            // Create an instance of the class that imports Excel files
            ExcelDocument workbook = new ExcelDocument();

            // Import Excel sheet to ResultSet
            System.out.println("Reading file C:\\Samples\\Tutorial09.xlsx.");
            FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial09.xlsx");
            ResultSet rs = workbook.easy_ReadXLSXSheet_AsResultSet(file, "First tab");
      
            // Display imported ResultSet values
            int columnCount = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
            int row = 0;
            while (rs.next()){
                for (int column=1; column<=columnCount; column++)
                    System.out.println("At row " + (row + 1) + ", column " + (column) +
                            " the value is '" + rs.getString(column) + "'");
                row++;
            }
