Don't use spreadsheet cells for layout
Examples of this might be

  • using the first few rows for the title, description and copyright information (also known as metadata)
  • Or laying out a grid of address labels

If I wanted to add/append/link to some human readable descriptions for a CSV download without messing up the machine readable stuff. How would I do that? https://twitter.com/benjystanton/status/1266306003861110786
