Add-ConditionalFormatting Add ConditionalFormatting Adds conditional formatting to all or part of a worksheet. Conditional formatting allows Excel to: * Mark cells with icons depending on their value * Show a databar whose length indicates the value or a two or three color scale where the color indicates the relative value * Change the color, font, or number format of cells which meet given criteria Add-ConditionalFormatting allows these parameters to be set; for fine tuning of the rules, the -PassThru switch will return the rule so that you can modify things which are specific to that type of rule, example, the values which correspond to each icon in an Icon-Set. Add-ConditionalFormatting Address A block of cells to format - you can use a named range with -Address $ws.names[1] or $ws.cells["RangeName"] Object Object None RuleType A standard named-rule - Top / Bottom / Less than / Greater than / Contains etc. AboveAverage AboveOrEqualAverage BelowAverage BelowOrEqualAverage AboveStdDev BelowStdDev Bottom BottomPercent Top TopPercent Last7Days LastMonth LastWeek NextMonth NextWeek ThisMonth ThisWeek Today Tomorrow Yesterday BeginsWith Between ContainsBlanks ContainsErrors ContainsText DuplicateValues EndsWith Equal Expression GreaterThan GreaterThanOrEqual LessThan LessThanOrEqual NotBetween NotContains NotContainsBlanks NotContainsErrors NotContainsText NotEqual UniqueValues ThreeColorScale TwoColorScale ThreeIconSet FourIconSet FiveIconSet DataBar eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType None ConditionValue A value for the condition (for example 2000 if the test is 'lessthan 2000'; Formulas should begin with "=" ) Object Object None ConditionValue2 A second value for the conditions like "Between X and Y" Object Object None WorkSheet The worksheet where the format is to be applied ExcelWorksheet ExcelWorksheet None ForegroundColor Text color for matching objects Object Object None Reverse Use the Icon-Set in reverse order, or reverse the orders of Two- & Three-Color Scales SwitchParameter False BackgroundColor Background color for matching items Object Object None BackgroundPattern Background pattern for matching items None Solid DarkGray MediumGray LightGray Gray125 Gray0625 DarkVertical DarkHorizontal DarkDown DarkUp DarkGrid DarkTrellis LightVertical LightHorizontal LightDown LightUp LightGrid LightTrellis ExcelFillStyle ExcelFillStyle None PatternColor Secondary color when a background pattern requires it Object Object None NumberFormat Sets the numeric format for matching items Object Object None Bold Put matching items in bold face SwitchParameter False Italic Put matching items in italic SwitchParameter False Underline Underline matching items SwitchParameter False StrikeThru Strikethrough text of matching items SwitchParameter False StopIfTrue Prevent the processing of subsequent rules SwitchParameter False Priority Set the sequence for rule processing Int32 Int32 0 PassThru If specified pass the rule back to the caller to allow additional customization.

SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- PS\> $excel = $avdata | Export-Excel -Path (Join-path $FilePath "\Machines.XLSX" ) -WorksheetName "Server Anti-Virus" -AutoSize -FreezeTopRow -AutoFilter -PassThru Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $excel.Workbook.Worksheets[1] -Address "b2:b1048576" -ForeGroundColor "RED" -RuleType ContainsText -ConditionValue "2003" Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $excel.Workbook.Worksheets[1] -Address "i2:i1048576" -ForeGroundColor "RED" -RuleType ContainsText -ConditionValue "Disabled" $excel.Workbook.Worksheets[1].Cells["D1:G1048576"].Style.Numberformat.Format = [cultureinfo]::CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern $excel.Workbook.Worksheets[1].Row(1).style.font.bold = $true $excel.Save() ; $excel.Dispose() Here Export-Excel is called with the -PassThru parameter, so the ExcelPackage object representing Machines.XLSX is stored in $Excel.The desired worksheet is selected, and then columns" B" and "I" are conditionally formatted (excluding the top row) to show red text if they contain "2003" or "Disabled" respectively. A fixed date format is then applied to columns D to G, and the top row is formatted. Finally the workbook is saved and the Excel package object is closed. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- PS\> $r = Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $excel.Workbook.Worksheets[1] -Range "B1:B100" -ThreeIconsSet Flags -Passthru $r.Reverse = $true ; $r.Icon1.Type = "Num"; $r.Icon2.Type = "Num" ; $r.Icon2.value = 100 ; $r.Icon3.type = "Num" ;$r.Icon3.value = 1000 Again Export-Excel has been called with -PassThru leaving a package object in $Excel. This time B1:B100 has been conditionally formatted with 3 icons, using the "Flags" Icon-Set. Add-ConditionalFormatting does not provide accessto every option in the formatting rule, so -PassThru has been used and the rule is modified to apply the flags in reverse order, and transitions between flags are set to 100 and 1000. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 -------------------------- PS\> Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $sheet -Range "D2:D1048576" -DataBarColor Red This time $sheet holds an ExcelWorkshseet object and databars are added to column D, excluding the top row. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 -------------------------- PS\> Add-ConditionalFormatting -Address $worksheet.cells["FinishPosition"] -RuleType Equal -ConditionValue 1 -ForeGroundColor Purple -Bold -Priority 1 -StopIfTrue In this example a named range is used to select the cells where the condition should apply, and instead of specifying a sheet and range within the sheet as separate parameters, the cells where the format should apply are specified directly. If a cell in the "FinishPosition" range is 1, then the text is turned to Bold & Purple. This rule is moved to first in the priority list, and where cells have a value of 1, no other rules will be processed. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 5 -------------------------- PS\> $excel = Get-ChildItem | Select-Object -Property Name,Length,LastWriteTime,CreationTime | Export-Excel "$env:temp\test43.xlsx" -PassThru -AutoSize $ws = $excel.Workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"] $ws.Cells["E1"].Value = "SavedAt" $ws.Cells["F1"].Value = [datetime]::Now $ws.Cells["F1"].Style.Numberformat.Format = (Expand-NumberFormat -NumberFormat 'Date-Time') $lastRow = $ws.Dimension.End.Row Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $ws -address "A2:A$Lastrow" -RuleType LessThan -ConditionValue "A" -ForeGroundColor Gray Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $ws -address "B2:B$Lastrow" -RuleType GreaterThan -ConditionValue 1000000 -NumberFormat '#,###,,.00"M"' Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $ws -address "C2:C$Lastrow" -RuleType GreaterThan -ConditionValue "=INT($F$1-7)" -ForeGroundColor Green -StopIfTrue Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $ws -address "D2:D$Lastrow" -RuleType Equal -ConditionValue "=C2" -ForeGroundColor Blue -StopIfTrue Close-ExcelPackage -Show $excel The first few lines of code export a list of file and directory names, sizes and dates to a spreadsheet. It puts the date of the export in cell F1. The first Conditional format changes the color of files and folders that begin with a ".", "_" or anything else which sorts before "A". The second Conditional format changes the Number format of numbers bigger than 1 million, for example 1,234,567,890 will dispay as "1,234.57M" The third highlights datestamps of files less than a week old when the export was run; the = is necessary in the condition value otherwise the rule will look for the the text INT($F$1-7), and the cell address for the date is fixed using the standard Excel $ notation. The final Conditional format looks for files which have not changed since they were created. Here the condition value is "=C2". The = sign means C2 is treated as a formula, not literal text. Unlike the file age, we want the cell used to change for each cell where the conditional format applies. The first cell in the conditional format range is D2, which is compared against C2, then D3 is compared against C3 and so on. A common mistake is to include the title row in the range and accidentally apply conditional formatting to it, or to begin the range at row 2 but use row 1 as the starting point for comparisons. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 6 -------------------------- PS\> Add-ConditionalFormatting $ws.Cells["B:B"] GreaterThan 10000000 -Fore Red -Stop -Pri 1 This version shows the shortest syntax - the Address, Ruletype, and Conditionvalue can be identified from their position, and ForegroundColor, StopIfTrue and Priority can all be shortend. Add-ExcelChart Add ExcelChart Creates a chart in an existing Excel worksheet. Creates a chart. It is possible to configure the type of chart, the range of X values (labels) and Y values, the title, the legend, the ranges for both axes, the format and position of the axes.

Add-ExcelName Add ExcelName Adds a named-range to an existing Excel worksheet. It is often helpful to be able to refer to sets of cells with a name rather than using their co-ordinates; Add-ExcelName sets up these names. Add-ExcelName Range The range of cells to assign as a name. ExcelRange ExcelRange None RangeName The name to assign to the range. If the name exists it will be updated to the new range. If no name is specified, the first cell in the range will be used as the name. String String None Range The range of cells to assign as a name.

Add-ExcelTable Add ExcelTable Adds Tables to Excel workbooks. Unlike named ranges, where the name only needs to be unique within a sheet, Table names must be unique in the workbook. Tables carry formatting and by default have a filter. The filter, header, totals, first and last column highlights can all be configured. Add-ExcelTable Range The range of cells to assign to a table. ExcelRange ExcelRange None TableName The name for the Table - this should be unqiue in the Workbook - auto generated names will be used if this is left empty.

Then it exports some data to an XLSX file and keeps the file open. The next step is to add the pivot table, normally this would be on its own sheet in the workbook, but here -Address is specified to place it beside the data. The Add-Pivot table is given the chart definition and told to create a tale using the City field to create rows, the Product field to create columns and the data should be the sum of the gross field and the sum of the net field; grand totals for both gross and net are included for rows (Cities) and columns (Products) and the data is explicitly formatted as a currency.

These are converted to DateTime objects before being exported to Excel; the "OrderDate" column is formatted with the local short-date style. Then the PivotTable is added; it groups information by date and location, the date is split into years and then months. No grand totals are displayed. The Pivot table object is caught in a variable, and the "Location" column has its subtotal moved from the top to the bottom of each location section, and the "Compact" option is disabled to prevent "Year" moving into the same column as location. Finally the workbook is saved and shown in Excel. Add-WorkSheet Add WorkSheet Adds a worksheet to an existing workbook.

(This is the default position for newly created sheets, but it can be used to move existing sheets.) SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False MoveBefore If specified, the worksheet will be moved before the nominated one (which can be an index starting from 1, or a name). MoveBefore takes precedence over MoveAfter if both are specified. Object Object None MoveAfter If specified, the worksheet will be moved after the nominated one (which can be an index starting from 1, or a name or *). If * is used, the worksheet names will be examined starting with the first one, and the sheet placed after the last sheet which comes before it alphabetically. Object Object None Activate If there is already content in the workbook the new sheet will not be active UNLESS Activate is specified. SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False CopySource If worksheet is provided as a copy source the new worksheet will be a copy of it. The source can be in the same workbook, or in a different file. ExcelWorksheet ExcelWorksheet None NoClobber Ignored but retained for backwards compatibility. SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False OfficeOpenXml.ExcelWorksheet -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- PS\> $WorksheetActors = $ExcelPackage | Add-WorkSheet -WorkSheetname Actors $ExcelPackage holds an Excel package object (returned by Open-ExcelPackage, or Export-Excel -passthru). This command will add a sheet named 'Actors', or return the sheet if it exists, and the result is stored in $WorkSheetActors. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- PS\> $WorksheetActors = Add-WorkSheet -ExcelPackage $ExcelPackage -WorkSheetname "Actors" -ClearSheet -MoveToStart This time the Excel package object is passed as a parameter instead of piped. If the 'Actors' sheet already exists it is deleted and re-created. The new sheet will be created last in the workbook, and -MoveToStart Moves it to the start. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 -------------------------- PS\> $null = Add-WorkSheet -ExcelWorkbook $wb -WorkSheetname $DestinationName -CopySource $sourceWs -Activate This time a workbook is used instead of a package, and a worksheet is copied - $SourceWs is a worksheet object, which can come from the same workbook or a different one. Here the new copy of the data is made the active sheet when the workbook is opened. Close-ExcelPackage Close ExcelPackage Closes an Excel Package, saving, saving under a new name or abandoning changes and opening the file in Excel as required. When working with an ExcelPackage object, the Workbook is held in memory and not saved until the .Save() method of the package is called. Close-ExcelPackage saves and disposes of the Package object. It can be called with -NoSave to abandon the file without saving, with a new "SaveAs" filename, and/or with a password to protect the file. And -Show will open the file in Excel; -Calculate will try to update the workbook, although not everything can be recalculated Close-ExcelPackage ExcelPackage Package to close. ExcelPackage ExcelPackage None SaveAs Save file with a new name (ignored if -NoSave Specified). Object Object None Password Password to protect the file. String String None Show Open the file in Excel. SwitchParameter False NoSave Abandon the file without saving. SwitchParameter False Calculate Attempt to recalculation the workbook before saving SwitchParameter False ExcelPackage Package to close. ExcelPackage ExcelPackage None Show Open the file in Excel. SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False NoSave Abandon the file without saving. SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False SaveAs Save file with a new name (ignored if -NoSave Specified). Object Object None Password Password to protect the file. String String None Calculate Attempt to recalculation the workbook before saving SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- Close-ExcelPackage -show $excel $excel holds a package object, this saves the workbook and loads it into Excel. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- Close-ExcelPackage -NoSave $excel $excel holds a package object, this disposes of it without writing it to disk. Compare-WorkSheet Compare WorkSheet Compares two worksheets and shows the differences. This command takes two file names, one or two worksheet names and a name for a "key" column. It reads the worksheet from each file and decides the column names and 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 (explicitly 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 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 First file to compare. Object Object None Differencefile Second file to compare. Object Object None WorkSheetName Name(s) of worksheets to compare. Object Object Sheet1 Property Properties to include in the comparison - supports wildcards, default is "*". Object Object * ExcludeProperty Properties to exclude from the comparison - supports wildcards. Object Object None Headername Specifies custom property names to use, instead of the values defined in the starting row of the sheet. String[] String[] None Startrow The row from where we start to import data: all rows above the start row are disregarded. By default, this is the first row. Int32 Int32 1 AllDataBackgroundColor If specified, highlights all the cells - so you can make Equal cells one color, and Different cells another. Object Object None BackgroundColor If specified, highlights the rows with differences. Object Object None TabColor If specified identifies the tabs which contain difference rows (ignored if -BackgroundColor is omitted). Object Object None Key Name of a column which is unique and will be used to add a row to the DIFF object, defaults to "Name". Object Object Name FontColor If specified, highlights the DIFF columns in rows which have the same key. Object Object None Show If specified, opens the Excel workbooks instead of outputting the diff to the console (unless -PassThru is also specified). SwitchParameter False GridView If specified, the command tries to the show the DIFF in a Grid-View and not on the console (unless-PassThru is also specified). This works best with few columns selected, and requires a key. SwitchParameter False PassThru If specified a full set of DIFF data is returned without filtering to the specified properties. SwitchParameter False IncludeEqual If specified the result will include equal rows as well. By default only different rows are returned. SwitchParameter False ExcludeDifferent If specified, the result includes only the rows where both are equal. SwitchParameter False Compare-WorkSheet Referencefile First file to compare.

SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- PS\> 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. The results will be presented as a table. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- PS\> Compare-WorkSheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorkSheetName Services -GridView This time two workbooks contain the result of redirecting the command Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service to Export-Excel. Here the -Differencefile and -Referencefile parameter switches are assumed and the default setting for -Key ("Name") works for services. This will display the differences between the "Services" sheets using a grid view -------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 -------------------------- PS\> Compare-WorkSheet 'Server54.xlsx' 'Server55.xlsx' -WorkSheetName Services -BackgroundColor lightGreen This version of the command outputs the differences between the "services" pages and highlights any different rows in the spreadsheet files. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 -------------------------- PS\> Compare-WorkSheet 'Server54.xlsx' 'Server55.xlsx' -WorkSheetName Services -BackgroundColor lightGreen -FontColor Red -Show This example builds on the previous one: this time where two changed rows have the value in the "Name" column (the default value for -Key), this version adds highlighting of the changed cells in red; and then opens the Excel file. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 5 -------------------------- PS\> Compare-WorkSheet 'Pester-tests.xlsx' 'Pester-tests.xlsx' -WorkSheetName 'Server1','Server2' -Property "full Description","Executed","Result" -Key "full Description" This time the reference file and the difference file are the same file and two different sheets are used. Because the tests include the machine name and time the test was run, the command specifies that a limited set of columns should be used. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 6 -------------------------- PS\> Compare-WorkSheet 'Server54.xlsx' 'Server55.xlsx' -WorkSheetName general -Startrow 2 -Headername Label,value -Key Label -GridView -ExcludeDifferent 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 told 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 are interested in those 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. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 7 -------------------------- PS\>Compare-WorkSheet 'Server1.xlsx' 'Server2.xlsx' -WorkSheetName general -Startrow 2 -Headername Label,value -Key Label -BackgroundColor White -Show -AllDataBackgroundColor LightGray This version of the previous command highlights all the cells in LightGray and then sets the changed rows back to white. Only the unchanged rows are highlighted. Convert-ExcelRangeToImage Convert ExcelRangeToImage Gets the specified part of an Excel file and exports it as an image Excel allows charts to be exported directly to a file, but it can't do this with the rest of a sheet. To work round this, this function * Opens a copy of Excel and loads a file * Selects a worksheet and then a range of cells in that worksheet * Copies the select to the clipboard * Saves the clipboard contents as an image file (it will save as .JPG unless the file name ends .BMP or .PNG) * Copies a single cell to the clipboard (to prevent the "you have put a lot in the clipboard" message appearing) * Closes Excel Unlike most functions in the module it needs a local copy of Excel to be installed. Convert-ExcelRangeToImage Path Path to the Excel file Object Object None WorkSheetname Worksheet name - if none is specified "Sheet1" will be assumed Object Object Sheet1 Range Range of cells within the sheet, e.g "A1:Z99" Object Object None Destination A bmp, png or jpg file where the result will be saved Object Object "$pwd\temp.png" Show If specified opens the image in the default viewer.

The race date and grid (starting) position are stored with custom formats. The command specifies the path to the file, and the directory to create the output file, and specifies that the columns "GridPosition" and "Date" should be treated as text to preserve their formatting -------------------------- Example 2 -------------------------- PS C:\> ConvertFrom-ExcelSheet Path .\__tests__\First10Races.xlsx -OutputPath .. -AsText "GridPosition" -Property driver, @{n="date"; e={[datetime]::FromOADate($_.Date).tostring("#MM/dd/yyyy#")}} , FinishPosition, GridPosition This uses the same file as example 1. Because the race date has a custom format, it imports as a number, The requirement is to create a CSV file with the Driver, a specially formatted Date, FinishPostion and GridPostion (keeping its custom formatting). The command specifies the path to the file, and the directory to create the output file, specifies that the column "GridPosition" should be treated as text instead of a number, and the output properties should be Driver, a calculated "date" field, FinishPosition and GridPsition. FromOADate converts the dates used by Excel (Days since Jan 1 1900) to a datetime object.

Some formats, like Short-Date, change when Excel loads (so date will use the local ordering of year, month and Day). Excel also changes how markers in the are presented different cultures "," is used in the format string to mean "local thousand seperator" but depending on the country "," or "." or " " may used as the thousand seperator. Expand-NumberFormat NumberFormat The format string to Expand Object Object None NumberFormat The format string to Expand Object Object None System.String -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- Expand-NumberFormat percentage Returns "0.00%" -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- Expand-NumberFormat Currency Returns the currency format specified in the local regional settings, which may not be the same as Excel uses. The regional settings set the currency symbol and then whether it is before or after the number and separated with a space or not; for negative numbers the number may be wrapped in parentheses or a - sign might appear before or after the number and symbol. So this returns $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00) for English US, #,##0.00 €;€#,##0.00- for French. Note some Eurozone countries write €1,23 and others 1,23€. In French the decimal point will be rendered as a "," and the thousand separator as a space. Export-Excel Export Excel Exports data to an Excel worksheet. Exports data to an Excel file and where possible tries to convert numbers in text fields so Excel recognizes them as numbers instead of text. After all: Excel is a spreadsheet program used for number manipulation and calculations. The parameter -NoNumberConversion * can be used if number conversion is not desired. Export-Excel Path Path to a new or existing .XLSX file. String String None InputObject Date is usually piped into Export-Excel, but it also accepts data through the InputObject parameter Object Object None Calculate If specified, a recalculation of the worksheet will be requested before saving. SwitchParameter False Show Opens the Excel file immediately after creation; convenient for viewing the results instantly without having to search for the file first. SwitchParameter False WorksheetName The name of a sheet within the workbook - "Sheet1" by default. String String Sheet1 Password Sets password protection on the workbook. String String None ClearSheet If specified Export-Excel will remove any existing worksheet with the selected name. The default behaviour is to overwrite cells in this sheet as needed (but leaving non-overwritten ones in place). SwitchParameter False Append If specified data will be added to the end of an existing sheet, using the same column headings. SwitchParameter False Title Text of a title to be placed in the top left cell. String String None TitleFillPattern Sets the fill pattern for the title cell.

String[] String[] None PivotColumns Name(s) of columns from the spreadsheet which will provide the Column name(s) in a PivotTable created from command line parameters. String[] String[] None PivotData In a PivotTable created from command line parameters, the fields to use in the table body are given as a Hash-table in the form ColumnName = Average|Count|CountNums|Max|Min|Product|None|StdDev|StdDevP|Sum|Var|VarP. Object Object None PivotFilter Name(s) columns from the spreadsheet which will provide the Filter name(s) in a PivotTable created from command line parameters.

The Import-Excel cmdlet creates custom objects from the rows in an Excel worksheet. Each row is represented as one object. This is possible without installing Microsoft Excel by using the .NET library 'EPPLus.dll'. By default, the property names of the objects are retrieved from the column headers. Because an object cannot have a blank property name, only columns with column headers will be imported.

Row number 1 with 'Chuck Norris' has not been imported, because we started the import from row 2 with the parameter '-StartRow 2'. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 6 -------------------------- PS\> ,(Import-Excel -Path .\SysTables_AdventureWorks2014.xlsx) | Write-SqlTableData -ServerInstance localhost\DEFAULT -Database BlankDB -SchemaName dbo -TableName MyNewTable_fromExcel -Force Imports data from an Excel file and pipes the result to the Write-SqlTableData command to be INSERTed into a table in a SQL Server database. The ",( ... )" around the Import-Excel command allows all rows to be imported from the Excel file, prior to pipelining to the Write-SqlTableData cmdlet. This helps prevent a RBAR scenario and is important when trying to import thousands of rows. The -Force parameter will be ignored if the table already exists. However, if a table is not found that matches the values provided by -SchemaName and -TableName parameters, it will create a new table in SQL Server database. The Write-SqlTableData cmdlet will inherit the column names & datatypes for the new table from the object being piped in. NOTE: You need to install the SqlServer module from the PowerShell Gallery in oder to get the Write-SqlTableData cmdlet. https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel Join-Worksheet Join Worksheet Combines data on all the sheets in an Excel worksheet onto a single sheet. Join-Worksheet can work in two main ways, either *Combining data which has the same layout from many pages into one, or *Combining pages which have nothing in common. In the former case the header row is copied from the first sheet and, by default, each row of data is labelled with the name of the sheet it came from. In the latter case -NoHeader is specified, and each copied block can have the sheet it came from placed above it as a title. Join-Worksheet Path Path to a new or existing .XLSX file.

And $PtDef=... creates a definition for a PivotTable. The Join-Worksheet command uses the same file and merges the results into a sheet named "Combined". It sets a column header of "Machinename", this column will contain the name of the sheet the data was copied from; after copying the data to the sheet "Combined", the other sheets will be hidden. Join-Worksheet finishes by calling Export-Excel to AutoSize cells, freeze the top row and make it bold and add thePivotTable. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- PS\> Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_logicaldisk | Select-Object -Property DeviceId,VolumeName, Size,Freespace | Export-Excel -Path "$env:computerName.xlsx" -WorkSheetname Volumes -NumberFormat "0,000" PS\> Get-NetAdapter| Select-Object Name,InterfaceDescription,MacAddress,LinkSpeed | Export-Excel -Path "$env:COMPUTERNAME.xlsx" -WorkSheetname NetAdapter PS\> Join-Worksheet -Path "$env:COMPUTERNAME.xlsx"-WorkSheetName Summary -Title "Summary" -TitleBold -TitleSize 22 -NoHeader -LabelBlocks -AutoSize -HideSource -show The first two commands get logical-disk and network-card information; each type is exported to its own sheet in a workbook. The Join-Worksheet command copies both onto a page named "Summary".Because the data is dissimilar, -NoHeader is specified, ensuring the whole of each page is copied. Specifying -LabelBlocks causes each sheet's name to become a title on the summary page above the copied data. The source data is hidden, a title is added in 22 point boldface and the columns are sized to fit the data. Online Version: https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel Merge-MultipleSheets Merge MultipleSheets Merges Worksheets into a single Worksheet with differences marked up. The Merge Worksheet command combines two sheets. Merge-MultipleSheets is designed to merge more than two. 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 "Startmode" from sheets A and C; the result has column headings "_Row", "Name", "DisplayName", "Startmode", "C-DisplayName", "C-StartMode", "C-Is" and "C-Row". * 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" columns hold "Same", "Added", "Removed" or "Changed" and is used for conditional formatting in the output sheet (these columns are 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 they 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 first 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.

Online Version: https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel Merge-Worksheet Merge Worksheet Merges two Worksheets (or other objects) into a single Worksheet with differences marked up. 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 a Worksheet.

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 2 -------------------------- PS\> 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. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 -------------------------- PS\> Merge-Worksheet -OutputFile .\j1.xlsx -OutputSheetName test11 -ReferenceObject (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.7) -DifferenceObject (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.8) -Property Length -Show 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 4 -------------------------- PS\> Merge-Worksheet -RefO (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.7) -DiffO (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.8) -Pr Length | Out-GridView 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 can be"OutSheet"; DifferenceObject & ReferenceObject can be DiffObject & RefObject respectively). Online Version: https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet New ConditionalFormattingIconSet Creates an object which describes a conditional formatting rule a for 3,4 or 5 icon set. Export-Excel takes a -ConditionalFormat parameter which can hold one or more descriptions for conditional formats; this command builds the defintion of a Conditional formatting rule for an icon set. New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet Range The range of cells that the conditional format applies to. Object Object None ConditionalFormat The type of rule: one of "ThreeIconSet","FourIconSet" or "FiveIconSet" Object Object None Reverse Use the icons in the reverse order. SwitchParameter False Range The range of cells that the conditional format applies to. Object Object None ConditionalFormat The type of rule: one of "ThreeIconSet","FourIconSet" or "FiveIconSet" Object Object None Reverse Use the icons in the reverse order. SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- PS\> $cfRange = [OfficeOpenXml.ExcelAddress]::new($topRow, $column, $lastDataRow, $column) PS\> $cfdef = New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet -Range $cfrange -ConditionalFormat ThreeIconSet -IconType Arrows PS\> Export-Excel -ExcelPackage $excel -ConditionalFormat $cfdef -show The first line creates a range - one column wide in the column $column, running from $topRow to $lastDataRow. The second line creates a definition object using this range and the third uses Export-Excel with an open package to apply the format and save and open the file. Add-Add-ConditionalFormatting New-ConditionalText New-ConditionalText New ConditionalText Creates an object which describes a conditional formatting rule for single valued rules. Some Conditional formatting rules don't apply styles to a cell (IconSets and Databars); some take two parameters (Between); some take none (ThisWeek, ContainsErrors, AboveAverage etc).The others take a single parameter (Top, BottomPercent, GreaterThan, Contains etc). This command creates an object to describe the last two categories, which can then be passed to Export-Excel. New-ConditionalText Text The text (or other value) to use in the rule. Note that Equals, GreaterThan/LessThan rules require text to wrapped in double quotes. Object Object None ConditionalTextColor The font color for the cell - by default: "DarkRed". Object Object [System.Drawing.Color]::DarkRed BackgroundColor The fill color for the cell - by default: "LightPink". Object Object [System.Drawing.Color]::LightPink Range The range of cells that the conditional format applies to; if none is specified the range will be apply to all the data in the sheet. String String None PatternType The background pattern for the cell - by default: "Solid" None Solid DarkGray MediumGray LightGray Gray125 Gray0625 DarkVertical DarkHorizontal DarkDown DarkUp DarkGrid DarkTrellis LightVertical LightHorizontal LightDown LightUp LightGrid LightTrellis ExcelFillStyle ExcelFillStyle Solid ConditionalType One of the supported rules; by default "ContainsText" is selected. Object Object ContainsText Text The text (or other value) to use in the rule. Note that Equals, GreaterThan/LessThan rules require text to wrapped in double quotes. Object Object None ConditionalTextColor The font color for the cell - by default: "DarkRed". Object Object [System.Drawing.Color]::DarkRed BackgroundColor The fill color for the cell - by default: "LightPink". Object Object [System.Drawing.Color]::LightPink Range The range of cells that the conditional format applies to; if none is specified the range will be apply to all the data in the sheet. String String None PatternType The background pattern for the cell - by default: "Solid" ExcelFillStyle ExcelFillStyle Solid ConditionalType One of the supported rules; by default "ContainsText" is selected. Object Object ContainsText -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- PS\> $ct = New-ConditionalText -Text 'Ferrari' PS\> Export-Excel -ExcelPackage $excel -ConditionalTest $ct -show The first line creates a definition object which will highlight the word "Ferrari" in any cell. and the second uses Export-Excel with an open package to apply the format and save and open the file. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- PS\> $ct = New-ConditionalText -Text "Ferrari" PS\> $ct2 = New-ConditionalText -Range $worksheet.Names\["FinishPosition"\].Address -ConditionalType LessThanOrEqual -Text 3 -ConditionalTextColor Red -BackgroundColor White PS\> Export-Excel -ExcelPackage $excel -ConditionalText $ct,$ct2 -show This builds on the previous example, and specifies a condition of <=3 with a format of red text on a white background; this applies to a named range "Finish Position". The range could be written -Range "C:C" to specify a named column, or -Range "C2:C102" to specify certain cells in the column. Add-ConditionalFormatting New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet New-ExcelChartDefinition New ExcelChartDefinition Creates a Definition of a chart which can be added using Export-Excel, or Add-PivotTable All the parameters which are passed to Add-ExcelChart can be added to a chart-definition object and passed to Export-Excel with the -ExcelChartDefinition parameter, or to Add-PivotTable with the -PivotChartDefinition parameter.

Open-ExcelPackage Open ExcelPackage Returns an ExcelPackage object for the specified XLSX file. Import-Excel and Export-Excel open an Excel file, carry out their tasks and close it again. Sometimes it is necessary to open a file and do other work on it. Open-ExcelPackage allows the file to be opened for these tasks. It takes a -KillExcel switch to make sure Excel is not holding the file open; a -Password parameter for existing protected files, and a -Create switch to set-up a new file if no file already exists. Open-ExcelPackage Path The path to the file to open. Object Object None Password The password for a protected worksheet, as a [normal] string (not a secure string). String String None KillExcel If specified, any running instances of Excel will be terminated before opening the file. This may result in lost work, so should be used with caution.

Send-SQLDataToExcel Send SQLDataToExcel Inserts a DataTable - returned by a SQL query - into an ExcelSheet This command takes a SQL statement and run it against a database connection; for the connection it accepts either * an object representing a session with a SQL server or ODBC database, or * a connection string to make a session (if -MSSQLServer is specified it uses the SQL Native client, and -Connection can be a server name instead of a detailed connection string. Without this switch it uses ODBC) The command takes all the parameters of Export-Excel, except for -InputObject (alias TargetData); after fetching the data it calls Export-Excel with the data as the value of InputParameter and whichever of Export-Excel's parameters it was passed; for details of these parameters see the help for Export-Excel.

The spreadsheet is formatted and a data bar added to show make the drivers' wins clearer. (The F1 results database is available from https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhfYu7-CJv4ehNdZWxJE9LMAX_N5sg ) -------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 -------------------------- PS\> $dbPath = 'C:\users\James\Documents\f1Results.xlsx' PS\> $SQL = "SELECT top 25 DriverName, Count(RaceDate) as Races, Count(Win) as Wins, Count(Pole) as Poles, Count(FastestLap) as Fastlaps " + " FROM Results GROUP BY DriverName ORDER BY (count(win)) DESC" PS\> $null = Get-SQL -Session F1 -excel -Connection $dbPath -sql $sql -OutputVariable Table PS\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -DataTable $Table -Path ".\demo3.xlsx" -WorkSheetname Gpwinners -autosize -TableName winners -TableStyle Light6 -show This uses Get-SQL (at least V1.1 - download from the PowerShell gallery with Install-Module -Name GetSQL - (note the function is Get-SQL the module is GetSQL without the "-" ) Get-SQL simplifies making database connections and building /submitting SQL statements. Here Get-SQL uses the same SQL statement as before; -OutputVariable leaves a System.Data.DataTable object in $table and Send-SQLDataToExcel puts $table into the worksheet and sets it as an Excel table. The command is equivalent to running PS> Export-Excel -inputObject $Table -Path ".\demo3.xlsx" -WorkSheetname Gpwinners -autosize -TableName winners -TableStyle Light6 -show This is quicker than using PS> Get-SQL <parameters> | export-excel -ExcludeProperty rowerror,rowstate,table,itemarray,haserrors <parameters> (the F1 results database is available from https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhfYu7-CJv4ehNdZWxJE9LMAX_N5sg ) -------------------------- EXAMPLE 5 -------------------------- PS\>$SQL = "SELECT top 25 DriverName, Count(Win) as Wins FROM Results GROUP BY DriverName ORDER BY (count(win)) DESC" PS\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -Session $DbSessions\["f1"\] -SQL $sql -Path ".\demo3.xlsx" -WorkSheetname Gpwinners -ClearSheet -autosize -ColumnChart Like the previous example, this uses Get-SQL (download from the gallery with Install-Module -Name GetSQL). It uses the database session which Get-SQL created, rather than an ODBC connection string. The Session parameter can either be a object (as shown here), or the name used by Get-SQL ("F1" in this case). Here the data is presented as a quick chart. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 6 -------------------------- Send-SQLDataToExcel -path .\demo4.xlsx -WorkSheetname "LR" -Connection "DSN=LR" -sql "SELECT name AS CollectionName FROM AgLibraryCollection Collection ORDER BY CollectionName" This example uses an Existing ODBC datasource name "LR" which maps to an adobe lightroom database and gets a list of collection names into a worksheet Export-Excel Set-ExcelColumn Set ExcelColumn Adds or modifies a column in an Excel worksheet, filling values, setting formatting and/or creating named ranges. Set-ExcelColumn can take a value which is either a string containing a value or formula or a scriptblock which evaluates to a string, and optionally a column number and fills that value down the column. A column heading can be specified, and the column can be made a named range. The column can be formatted in the same operation. Set-ExcelColumn ExcelPackage If specifying the worksheet by name, the ExcelPackage object which contains the worksheet also needs to be passed.

SwitchParameter SwitchParameter False OfficeOpenXml.ExcelColumn System.String -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 -------------------------- PS\> Set-ExcelColumn -Worksheet $ws -Column 5 -NumberFormat 'Currency' $ws contains a worksheet object - and column "E" is set to use the local currency format. Intelisense will complete the names of predefined number formats. You can see how currency is interpreted on the local computer with the command Expand-NumberFormat currency -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 -------------------------- PS\> Set-ExcelColumn -Worksheet $ws -Heading "WinsToFastLaps" -Value {"=E$row/C$row"} -Column 7 -AutoSize -AutoNameRange Here, $WS already contains a worksheet which holds counts of races won and fastest laps recorded by racing drivers (in columns C and E). Set-ExcelColumn specifies that Column 7 should have a heading of "WinsToFastLaps" and the data cells should contain =E2/C2 , =E3/C3 etc the new data cells should become a named range, which will also be named "WinsToFastLaps" and the column width will be set automatically. When a value begins with "=", it is treated as a formula. If value is a script block it will be evaluated, so here the string "=E$row/C$Row" will have the number of the current row inserted; see the value parameter for a list of variables which can be used. Note than when evaluating an expression in a string, it is necessary to wrap it in $() so $row is valid but $($row+1) is needed. To preventVariables merging into other parts of the string, use the back tick "$columnName`4" will be "G4" - without the backtick the string will look for a variable named "columnName4" -------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 -------------------------- Set-ExcelColumn -Worksheet $ws -Heading "Link" -Value {"https://en.wikipedia.org" + $worksheet.cells["B$Row"].value } -AutoSize In this example, the worksheet in $ws has partial links to Wikipedia pages in column B. The -Value parameter is a script block which outputs a string beginning "https..." and ending with the value of the cell at column B in the current row. When given a valid URI, Set-ExcelColumn makes it a hyperlink. The column will be autosized to fit the links. -------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 -------------------------- 4..6 | Set-ExcelColumn -Worksheet $ws -AutoNameRange Again $ws contains a worksheet. Here columns 4 to 6 are made into named ranges, row 1 is used for the range name and the rest of the column becomes the range. Set-ExcelRange Set ExcelRange Applies number, font, alignment and/or color formatting, values or formulas to a range of Excel cells. Set-ExcelRange was created to set the style elements for a range of cells, this includes auto-sizing and hiding, setting font elements (Name, Size, Bold, Italic, Underline & UnderlineStyle and Subscript & SuperScript), font and background colors, borders, text wrapping, rotation, alignment within cells, and number format. It was orignally named "Set-Format", but it has been extended to set Values, Formulas and ArrayFormulas (sometimes called Ctrl-shift-Enter [CSE] formulas); because of this, the name has become Set-ExcelRange but the old name of Set-Format is preserved as an alias.
