Merges two Worksheets (or other objects) into a single Worksheet with differences marked up.
|
||||
.Description
|
||||
The Compare-Worksheet command takes two Worksheets and marks differences in the source document, and optionally outputs a grid showing the changes.
|
||||
By contrast the Merge-Worksheet command takes the Worksheets and combines them into a single sheet showing the old and new data side by side .
|
||||
Although it is designed to work with Excel data it can work with arrays of any kind of object; so it can be a merge *of* Worksheets, or a merge *to* Worksheet.

|
||||
.Example
|
||||
merge-Worksheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorksheetName services -OutputFile Services.xlsx -OutputSheetName 54-55 -show
|
||||
The workbooks contain audit information for two servers, one page contains a list of services. This command creates a Worksheet named 54-55
|
||||
in a workbook named services which shows all the services and their differences, and opens it in Excel.
|
||||
Merge-Worksheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorksheetName services -OutputFile Services.xlsx -OutputSheetName 54-55 -show
|
||||
The workbooks contain audit information for two servers, one sheet contains
|
||||
a list of services. This command creates a worksheet named "54-55" in a
|
||||
workbook named "services.xlsx" which shows all the services and their
|
||||
differences, and opens the new workbook in Excel.
|
||||
.Example
|
||||
merge-Worksheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorksheetName services -OutputFile Services.xlsx -OutputSheetName 54-55 -HideEqual -AddBackgroundColor LightBlue -show
|
||||
This modifies the previous command to hide the equal rows in the output sheet and changes the color used to mark rows added to the second file.

sheet and changes the color used to mark rows added to the second file.

|
||||
This version compares two directories, and marks what has changed.
|
||||
Because no "Key" property is given, "Name" is assumed to be the key and the only other property examined is length.
|
||||
Files which are added or deleted or have changed size will be highlighed in the output sheet. Changes to dates or other attributes will be ignored.

.Example

|

This time no file is written and the results -which include all properties, not just length, are output and sent to Out-Gridview.
|
||||
This version uses aliases to shorten the parameters,
|
||||
(OutputFileName can be "outFile" and the sheet "OutSheet" : DifferenceObject & ReferenceObject can be DiffObject & RefObject).

.Synopsis

Merges Worksheets into a single Worksheet with differences marked up.
|
||||
.Description
|
||||
The Merge Worksheet command combines 2 sheets. Merge-MultipleSheets is designed to merge more than 2.
|
||||
So if asked to merge sheets A,B,C which contain Services, with a Name, Displayname and Start mode, where "name" is treated as the key
|
||||
Merge-MultipleSheets calls Merge-Worksheet to merge Name, Displayname and Start mode, from sheets A and C
|
||||
the result has column headings -Row, Name, DisplayName, Startmode, C-DisplayName, C-StartMode C-Is, C-Row
|
||||
Merge-MultipleSheets then calls Merge-Worsheet with this result and sheet B, comparing 'Name', 'Displayname' and 'Start mode' columns on each side
|
||||
which outputs _Row, Name, DisplayName, Startmode, B-DisplayName, B-StartMode B-Is, B-Row, C-DisplayName, C-StartMode C-Is, C-Row
|
||||
Any columns in the "reference" side which are not used in the comparison are appended on the right, which is we compare the sheets in reverse order.

|
||||
treated as the key, Merge-MultipleSheets calls Merge-Worksheet to merge
|
||||
"Name", "Displayname" and "Startmode" from sheets A and C; the result has
|
||||
column headings "_Row", "Name", "DisplayName", "Startmode", "C-DisplayName",
|
||||
"C-StartMode", "C-Is" and "C-Row".
|
||||
Merge-MultipleSheets then calls Merge-Worksheet again passing it the
|
||||
intermediate result and sheet B, comparing "Name", "Displayname" and
|
||||
"Start mode" columns on each side, and gets a result with columns "_Row",
|
||||
"Name", "DisplayName", "Startmode", "B-DisplayName", "B-StartMode", "B-Is",
|
||||
"B-Row", "C-DisplayName", "C-StartMode", "C-Is" and "C-Row". Any columns on
|
||||
the "reference" side which are not used in the comparison are added on the
|
||||
right, which is why we compare the sheets in reverse order.
|
||||
|
||||
The "Is" column holds "Same", "Added", "Removed" or "Changed" and is used for conditional formatting in the output sheet (this is hidden by default),
|
||||
and when the data is written to Excel the "reference" columns, in this case "DisplayName" and "Start" are renamed to reflect their source,
|
||||
so become "A-DisplayName" and "A-Start".

|

"DisplayName" and "Start" are renamed to reflect their source, so become
|

"A-DisplayName" and "A-Start".
|
||||
|

Conditional formatting is also applied to the "key" column (name in this case) so the view can be filtered to rows with changes by filtering this column on color.

|
||||
|
||||
Note: the processing order can affect what is seen as a change. For example if there is an extra item in sheet B in the example above,
|
||||
Sheet C will be processed and that row and will not be seen to be missing. When sheet B is processed it is marked as an addition, and the conditional formatting marks
|
||||
the entries from sheet A to show that a values were added in at least one sheet.
|
||||
However if Sheet B is the reference sheet, A and C will be seen to have an item removed;
|
||||
and if B is processed before C, the extra item is known when C is processed and so C is considered to be missing that item.
