.Synopsis
|
||||
Compares two worksheets and shows the differences.
|
||||
.Description
|
||||
This command takes two file names, one or two worksheet name and a name for a key column.
|
||||
It reads the worksheet from each file and decides the column names.
|
||||
It builds a hashtable of the key-column values and the rows in which they appear.
|
||||
It then uses PowerShell's compare object command to compare the sheets (explicity checking
|
||||
all the column names which have not been excluded). For the difference rows it adds the
|
||||
row number for the key of that row - we have to add the key after doing the comparison,
|
||||
otherwise identical rows at diffeent positions in the file will not will be considered to match.

we have to add the key after doing the comparison, otherwise identical
|

rows at different positions in the file will not be considered a match.
|
||||
We also add the name of the file and sheet in which the difference occurs.
|
||||
If -BackgroundColor is specified the difference rows will be changed to that background in the orginal file.

Compare-WorkSheet -Referencefile 'Server56.xlsx' -Differencefile 'Server57.xlsx' -WorkSheetName Products -key IdentifyingNumber -ExcludeProperty Install* | Format-Table
|
||||
|
||||
The two workbooks in this example contain the result of redirecting a subset of properties from Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product to Export-Excel.
|
||||
The command compares the "Products" pages in the two workbooks, but we don't want to register a difference if the software was installed on a
|
||||
different date or from a different place, and excluding Install* removes InstallDate and InstallSource.
|
||||
This data doesn't have a "Name" column" so we specify the "IdentifyingNumber" column as the key.

Here the -Differencefile and -Referencefile parameter switches are assumed , and the default setting for -key ("Name") works for services

|

|

The "General" page in the two workbooks has a title and two unlabelled columns with a row each for CPU, Memory, Domain, Disk and so on;
|
||||
so the command is instructed to start at row 2 in order to skip the title and given names for the columns: the first is "label" and the Second "Value";
|
||||
the label acts as the key. This time we interested the rows which are the same in both sheets,
|

and the result is displayed using grid view. Note that grid view works best when the number of columns is small.
