Step 4: Run ASP code that adds cell validation to Excel sheet
Execute the following ASP code that exports an Excel file with two types of data validation defined: list and whole number.

Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
