5. Dataset creation:
   1. 1 dataset per sheet: (Default) Each selected sheet in the spreadsheet is imported as a separate dataset. 
      Specify the base name of the datasets that you are creating. If you are creating a single dataset, the name of the spreadsheet is used. 

   2. Selected sheets into 1 dataset: All selected sheets in the spreadsheet are combined and imported as a single dataset.

      Info
      NOTE: The schemas of each dataset must match. Columns must be listed in the same order in each dataset. The column headers are taken from the first selected dataset.

   3. All and future sheets into 1 dataset: If the spreadsheet is updated periodically with new sheets that you would like to add in the future, select this option. After initial selection of sheets, all sheets that are added to the spreadsheet in the future are automatically added as part of the imported dataset.
