Description
from @ahuang11 in https://github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree/issues/342
I wonder if xarray-datatree should support reading Excel spreadsheets since a lot of the world still uses Excel, and I'm working with one right now.
I imagine the tree's leaves would contain each sheet, analogous to netCDF groups.
Perhaps it doesn't have to be limited Excel, and would be able to read Google Sheets directly by passing a URL.
Just a random thought.
