Read data by rows(horizontal way)

Hey,

I just started to use the library from the base example:

using (var stream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) {
	using (var reader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateReader(stream)) {
		do {
			while (reader.Read()) {
				// reader.GetDouble(0);
			}
		} while (reader.NextResult());
	}
}

reader.Read() runs by columns(in vertical way):

Can I read the data by rows?

Hi! Can confirm latest ExcelDataReader parses 2 columns and 9 rows out of test3.xlsx, but the file has data in 3 columns (and 9 rows). Thanks for the sample file and mentioning the origin.

Dimension element in sheet1.xml is:

<dimension ref="A1:B1" />

Looks like the pdfConvertor generates xlsx with a broken dimension element. ExcelDataReader uses this element (if present) to determine the number of columns in the sheet.

In order to fix this in ExcelDataReader, I suspect there is no way around taking the performance hit and always scan the xlsx sheet data once first to find the maximum extents (as for xls).

By the way, it is possible to read it with EPPlus
