This include is now used in the SAS, Stata, and spreadsheet pages. Since spreadsheets don't have "vectorized operations" in the same way, took out this reference.

I don't feel like these substring operations are that common in spreadsheets, but included them for parity with the SAS and Stata docs. Thoughts about taking them out?

Moved up to be the Merging section.
Old example was referencing a no-longer-existent variable. Switched to use `append()` rather than `loc`.
[flake8-rst was complaining about `invalid syntax`](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/38993/checks?check_run_id=1654170719#step:4:67), meaning it was presumably parsing the block as Python.

Just FYI, Pygments doesn't have support for Excel formulas (pygments/pygments#1664) and flake8-rst seems to interpret code-blocks without a language specified as Python, so included the Excel formulas as literal blocks.

This pull request gets closer to full parity with SAS/STATA comparison pages by adding the Data Input/Output through Merging sections. It still needs Missing Data and GroupBy, but wanted to get this in while I was at a good stopping place. Each section was done in its own commit, if it's easier to review that way.
