searchmap = Map();
searchmap.put("method","worksheet.usedarea");
searchmap.put("worksheet_name","Sheet1");
UsedCells = invokeurl
[
type :GET
parameters:searchmap
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info UsedCells;

// Get the used area from the sheet.
used_row_index = UsedCells.get("used_row_index");
used_column_index = UsedCells.get("used_column_index");

paramMap5 = Map();
paramMap5.put('method','cell.content.set');
paramMap5.put('worksheet_name','Sheet1');

paramMap5.put('column',1);
paramMap5.put('content',smaplevar);

];
info response5;
