 - Importing multiple files with Import-Excel by pipeline uses only the first file for the row count https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel/issues/1172

 - Import-Excel now supports importing multiple sheets. It can either return a dictionary of all sheets, or as a single array of all sheets combined.
     - `Import-Excel $xlfile *`                  # reads all sheets, returns all data in a dictionary
     - `Import-Excel $xlfile * -NotAsDictionary` # reads all sheets, returns all data in a single array
+- Added helper functions. Useful for working with an Excel package via `Open-ExcelPackage` or `-PassThru`
