-      .DESCRIPTION
-        Generate SQL insert statements from Excel spreadsheet.
-      .PARAMETER TableName
-        Name of the target database table.
-      .PARAMETER Path
-        Path to an existing .XLSX file
-        This parameter is passed to Import-Excel as is.
-      .PARAMETER WorkSheetname
-        Specifies the name of the worksheet in the Excel workbook to import. By default, if no name is provided, the first worksheet will be imported.
-        This parameter is passed to Import-Excel as is.
-      .PARAMETER StartRow
-        The row from where we start to import data, all rows above the StartRow are disregarded. By default this is the first row.
-        When the parameters ‘-NoHeader’ and ‘-HeaderName’ are not provided, this row will contain the column headers that will be used as property names. When one of both parameters are provided, the property names are automatically created and this row will be treated as a regular row containing data.
-      .PARAMETER Header
-        Specifies custom property names to use, instead of the values defined in the column headers of the TopRow.
-        If you provide fewr header names than there is data in the worksheet, then only the data with a corresponding header name will be imported and the data without header name will be disregarded.
-        If you provide more header names than there is data in the worksheet, then all data will be imported and all objects will have all the property names you defined in the header names. As such, the last properties will be blank as there is no data for them.
-      .PARAMETER NoHeader
-        Automatically generate property names (P1, P2, P3, ..) instead of the ones defined in the column headers of the TopRow.
-        This switch is best used when you want to import the complete worksheet ‘as is’ and are not concerned with the property names.
-      .PARAMETER DataOnly
-        Import only rows and columns that contain data, empty rows and empty columns are not imported.
-      .PARAMETER ConvertEmptyStringsToNull
-        If specified, cells without any data are replaced with NULL, instead of an empty string.
-        This is to address behviors in certain DBMS where an empty string is insert as 0 for INT column, instead of a NULL value.

-      .SYNOPSIS
-        Copies a worksheet between workbooks or within the same workbook.
-      .DESCRIPTION
-         Copy-ExcelWorkSheet takes Source and Destination workbook parameters; each can be the path to an XLSx file, an ExcelPackage object or an ExcelWorkbook object.
-         The Source worksheet is specified by name or number (starting from 1), and the destination worksheet can be explicitly named,
-         or will follow the name of the source if no name is specified.
-      .EXAMPLE
-        C:\> Copy-ExcelWorkSheet -SourceWorkbook Test1.xlsx  -DestinationWorkbook Test2.xlsx
-        This is the simplest version of the command: no source worksheet is specified so Copy-ExcelWorksheet uses the first sheet in the workbook
-        No Destination sheet is specified so the new worksheet will be the same as the one which is being copied.
-      .EXAMPLE
-        C:\> Copy-ExcelWorkSheet -SourceWorkbook Server1.xlsx -sourceWorksheet "Settings" -DestinationWorkbook Settings.xlsx -DestinationWorkSheet "Server1"
-        Here the Settings page from Server1's workbook is copied to the 'Server1" page of a "Settings" workbook.
-      .EXAMPLE
-         C:\> $excel = Open-ExcelPackage   .\test.xlsx
-         C:\> Copy-ExcelWorkSheet -SourceWorkbook  $excel -SourceWorkSheet "first" -DestinationWorkbook $excel -Show -DestinationWorkSheet Duplicate
-         This opens the workbook test.xlsx and copies the worksheet named "first" to a new worksheet named "Duplicate",
-         because -Show is specified the file is saved and opened in Excel
-      .EXAMPLE
-         C:\> $excel = Open-ExcelPackage .\test.xlsx
-         C:\> Copy-ExcelWorkSheet -SourceWorkbook  $excel -SourceWorkSheet 1 -DestinationWorkbook $excel  -DestinationWorkSheet Duplicate
-         C:\> Close-ExcelPackage $excel
-         This is almost the same as the previous example, except source sheet is specified by position rather than name and

+# Add-ExcelImage Example
+
+Adding pictures to an Excel worksheet is possible by calling the `AddPicture(name, image)`
+method on the `Drawings` property of an `ExcelWorksheet` object.
+
+The `Add-ExcelImage` example here demonstrates how to add a picture at a given
+cell location, and optionally resize the row and column to fit the image.
+
+## Running the example
+
+To try this example, run the script `AddImage.ps1`. The `Add-ExcelImage`
+function will be dot-sourced, and an Excel document will be created in the same
+folder with a sample data set. The Octocat image will then be embedded into
+Sheet1.
+
+The creation of the Excel document and the `System.Drawing.Image` object
+representing Octocat are properly disposed within a `finally` block to ensure
+that the resources are released, even if an error occurs in the `try` block.
+
+## Note about column and row sizing
+
+Care has been taken in this example to get the image placement to be just inside
+the cell border, and if the `-ResizeCell` switch is present, the height and width
+of the row and column will be increased, if needed, so that the bottom right of
+the image also lands just inside the cell border.
+
+The Excel row and column sizes are measured in "point" units rather than pixels,
+and a fixed multiplication factor is used to convert the size of the image in
+pixels, to the corresponding height and width values in Excel.
+
+It's possible that different DPI or text scaling options could result in
+imperfect column and row sizing and if a better strategy is found for converting
+the image dimensions to column and row sizes, this example will be updated.

+    This is an example on how to customize Export-Excel to your liking.
+    First select a name for your function, in ths example its "Out-Excel" you can even set the name to "Export-Excel".
+    You can customize the following things:
+    1. To add parameters to the function define them in "param()", here I added "Preset1" and "Preset2".
+       The parameters need to be removed after use (see comments and code below).
+    2. To remove parameters from the function add them to the list under "$_.Name -notmatch", I removed "Now".
+    3. Add your custom code, here I defined what the Presets do:
+       Preset1 configure the TableStyle, name the table depending on WorksheetName and FreezeTopRow.
+       Preset2 will set AutoFilter and add the Title "Daily Report".
+       (see comments and code below).
+#>
+function Out-Excel {
+    [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'Default')]

+        }
+        return $paramDictionary
