Limit Number of Columns for Excel Inputs

We have a feature to limit the number of records, and I thought why not have a column limit as well? 

Columns take up a lot of space and processing, the more columns we have the more it slows down. So if we can declare it at the start to import the first 20 columns always, it’ll ensure that any new or unwanted columns in Excel will be avoided.

Great Idea to improve the processing time!

You can already choose what columns you want to use in the Input Data tool when pulling in data. Would this really help that much beyond that?
