                workbook.easy_addWorksheet("Second tab");
                ExcelTable xlsTable = ((ExcelWorksheet)workbook.easy_getSheetAt(1)).easy_getExcelTable();
                xlsTable.easy_getCell("A1").setValue("Data added by Tutorial40");

                // Export Excel file
                System.out.println("Writing file C:\\Samples\\Tutorial40 - convert HTML to Excel.xlsx.");
                workbook.easy_WriteXLSXFile("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial40 - convert HTML to Excel.xlsx");

                // Confirm conversion of HTML to Excel
