+#Requires -Version 5
+function Invoke-ExcelQuery {
+    <#
+        .SYNOPSIS
+        Helper method for executing Read-OleDbData with some basic defaults.
+
+        For additional help, see documentation for Read-OleDbData cmdlet.
+
+        .DESCRIPTION
+        Uses Read-OleDbData to execute a sql statement against a xlsx file. For finer grained control over the interaction, you may use that cmdlet. This cmdlet assumes a file path will be passed in and the connection string will be built with no headers and treating all results as text.
+
+        Running this command is equivalent to running the following:
+
+        $FullName = (Get-ChildItem $Path).FullName
+        Read-OleDbData `
+            -ConnectionString "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=$FullName;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=NO;IMEX=1;'" `
+            -SqlStatement $Query
+
+        Note that this command uses the MICROSOFT.ACE.OLEDB provider and will not work without it.
+        
+        If needed, please download the appropriate package from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920.
+        
+        .EXAMPLE
+        Invoke-ExcelQuery .\test.xlsx 'select ROUND(F1) as [A1] from [sheet3$A1:A1]'
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        $Path = (Get-ChildItem 'test.xlsx').FullName
