You can query a range of cells starting from row 10:

 "SELECT * FROM [Worksheet$A10:S100] WHERE [Thing1] > 1"

What can be tough is finding what the end of the range should be. You could put in a ridiculously large number, but then you'd have to add special handling for the rows of NULL at the end.
