Late to the party, so I needed to use the static file found in other's recent posted solutions (noting that this file has more data than what was linked to originally, so the results are different than the supplied example).

Not terribly difficult, but has some nuanced techniques that are good to practice up on (i.e. Sheet handling, column names, null rows, parsing, trimming, etc.)

 

Here's my solution (and attached):
