Notes:
- Update data in table -> file Issue
- Without schema there is no data validation. Can this be enhanced?
- This breaks data validation since this is not moved when rows are inserted
- Delete table -> file Issue This is broken as we don't remove the data or other formatting
- Validate table data against schema (add to docs)
- We are using draft7_format_checker which means we can check common formats such as ipv4 and regex
- Currently need to save the Excel file before we can read back table data. Need to store table data natively and use this for validation
