Step 5: Run PHP code that groups data in Excel sheet
Execute the following PHP code that groups data on the first sheet of an Excel file on two outline levels.

Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
