title: Import Excel SpreadSheet To Array
body: <p>I found the below syntax to import the 1st column of my Excel Spreadsheet into an array.  The code works excellent and is very short and precise!  The issue I have is I need to skip the 1st row in the column as that is header information, how can I skip the 1st row with the below syntax?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Workbook wb = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(filename);
  Sheets sheets = wb.Worksheets;
  Worksheets ws = (Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1);
  Range firstColumn = ws.UsedRange.Columns[1];
  System.Array myValues = (System.Array)firstColumn.Cells.Value;
  string[] list = myvalues.OfType&lt;object&gt;().Select(o =&gt; o.ToString()).ToArray();
  </code></pre>
