Glossary

  • Row/Column Number - Counting starts at one. This is the primary way of referrring to a row or column. The reason is because fuzzytable was written primarily for Excel users, where row numbering starts at one. Column A has a col_num of 1, etc. Contrast with Row/Column Index.
  • Row/Column Index - Like Row/Column Number, but counting starts at zero.
  • terms - a list of strings that a desired field compares to cell values when seeking its header cell. The field name is always one of the terms. So are any aliases passed to FieldPattern.
