EX: Excluded rows only.
NX: Non-excluded rows only.
X: Same as EX.

label2: Label identifying the end of a range of rows. The label must start with a period (.) followed by one to four alphabetic characters (no numeric or special characters). Labels starting with the letter “Z” indicate an editor-assigned label.
