No "sheets and shapes" option for Excel 2007-2016

Question

Hi, 
 
 Having solved the issue of not being able to save target for Excel files, unfortunately it's thrown up another problem. 
 
 The other Excel file types have a "sheets and shapes" option, which allows us to choose whether to extract by rows or columns: 
 
 But this option doesn't exist for Excel 2007-2016, and it extracts by row by default: 
 
 This is not ideal for my company, given the type of data we usually handle. Is this a feature that will become available soon? 
 Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Hi Nicholas Bridgeman , 
 
You're the second person in just over a week looking for this option. The new filetype works top left to bottom right, unless it's a Bi-Di language in which case it's top right to bottom left. There are no options. 
 
Perhaps you can tell us why you need this capability as it'll be useful feedback for Patrik Mazanek . The other post was here:

Hi Nicholas Bridgeman , 
 
Yep... and in fact the work has already been completed to introduce this into the next version of the filetype. Just in case you need to follow up our reference number is this one - LF-3558. 
 
Thank you for your feedback.
