Powershell excel from csv

I’m trying to export a complete CSV to Excel by using Powershell. I stuck at a point where static column names are used. But this doesn’t work if my CSV has generic unknown header names.

Steps to reproduce

Open your PowerShell ISE and copy & paste the following standalone code. Run it with F5
«C:Windowssystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell_ise.exe»

Get-Process | Export-Csv -Path $env:tempprocess.csv -NoTypeInformation

$processes = Import-Csv -Path $env:tempprocess.csv 
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application 
$workbook = $Excel.workbooks.add() 

$i = 1 
foreach($process in $processes) 
{ 
 $excel.cells.item($i,1) = $process.name
 $excel.cells.item($i,2) = $process.vm
 $i++ 
} 
Remove-Item $env:tempprocess.csv
$Excel.visible = $true

What it does

  1. The script will export a list of all active processes as a CSV to your temp folder. This file is only for our example. It could be any CSV with any data
  2. It reads in the newly created CSV and saves it under the $processes variable
  3. It creates a new and empty Excel workbook where we can write data
  4. It iterates through all rows (?) and writes all values from the name and vm column to Excel

My questions

  • What if I don’t know the column headers? (In our example name and vm). How do I address values where I don’t know their header names?
  • How do I count how many columns a CSV has? (after reading it with Import-Csv)

I just want to write an entire CSV to Excel with Powershell

Ups, I entirely forgot this question. In the meantime I got a solution.
This Powershell script converts a CSV to XLSX in the background

Gimmicks are

  • Preserves all CSV values as plain text like =B1+B2 or 0000001.
    You don’t see #Name or anything like that. No autoformating is done.
  • Automatically chooses the right delimiter (comma or semicolon) according to your regional setting
  • Autofit columns

PowerShell Code

### Set input and output path
$inputCSV = "C:somefolderinput.csv"
$outputXLSX = "C:somefolderoutput.xlsx"

### Create a new Excel Workbook with one empty sheet
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application 
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add(1)
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.Item(1)

### Build the QueryTables.Add command
### QueryTables does the same as when clicking "Data » From Text" in Excel
$TxtConnector = ("TEXT;" + $inputCSV)
$Connector = $worksheet.QueryTables.add($TxtConnector,$worksheet.Range("A1"))
$query = $worksheet.QueryTables.item($Connector.name)

### Set the delimiter (, or ;) according to your regional settings
$query.TextFileOtherDelimiter = $Excel.Application.International(5)

### Set the format to delimited and text for every column
### A trick to create an array of 2s is used with the preceding comma
$query.TextFileParseType  = 1
$query.TextFileColumnDataTypes = ,2 * $worksheet.Cells.Columns.Count
$query.AdjustColumnWidth = 1

### Execute & delete the import query
$query.Refresh()
$query.Delete()

### Save & close the Workbook as XLSX. Change the output extension for Excel 2003
$Workbook.SaveAs($outputXLSX,51)
$excel.Quit()

I am using excelcnv.exe to convert csv into xlsx and that seemed to work properly.
You will have to change the directory to where your excelcnv is. If 32 bit, it goes to Program Files (x86)

Start-Process -FilePath 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16excelcnv.exe' -ArgumentList "-nme -oice ""$xlsFilePath"" ""$xlsToxlsxPath"""

Why would you bother? Load your CSV into Excel like this:

$csv = Join-Path $env:TEMP "process.csv"
$xls = Join-Path $env:TEMP "process.xlsx"

$xl = New-Object -COM "Excel.Application"
$xl.Visible = $true

$wb = $xl.Workbooks.OpenText($csv)

$wb.SaveAs($xls, 51)

You just need to make sure that the CSV export uses the delimiter defined in your regional settings. Override with -Delimiter if need be.


Edit: A more general solution that should preserve the values from the CSV as plain text. Code for iterating over the CSV columns taken from here.

$csv = Join-Path $env:TEMP "input.csv"
$xls = Join-Path $env:TEMP "output.xlsx"

$xl = New-Object -COM "Excel.Application"
$xl.Visible = $true

$wb = $xl.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Sheets.Item(1)

$ws.Cells.NumberFormat = "@"

$i = 1
Import-Csv $csv | ForEach-Object {
  $j = 1
  foreach ($prop in $_.PSObject.Properties) {
    if ($i -eq 1) {
      $ws.Cells.Item($i, $j++).Value = $prop.Name
    } else {
      $ws.Cells.Item($i, $j++).Value = $prop.Value
    }
  }
  $i++
}

$wb.SaveAs($xls, 51)
$wb.Close()

$xl.Quit()
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($xl)

Obviously this second approach won’t perform too well, because it’s processing each cell individually.

This topic really helped me, so I’d like to share my improvements.
All credits go to the nixda, this is based on his answer.

For those who need to convert multiple csv’s in a folder, just modify the directory. Outputfilenames will be identical to input, just with another extension.

Take care of the cleanup in the end, if you like to keep the original csv’s you might not want to remove these.

Can be easily modifed to save the xlsx in another directory.

$workingdir = "C:data*.csv"
$csv = dir -path $workingdir
foreach($inputCSV in $csv){
$outputXLSX = $inputCSV.DirectoryName + "" + $inputCSV.Basename + ".xlsx"
### Create a new Excel Workbook with one empty sheet
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application 
$excel.DisplayAlerts = $False
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add(1)
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.Item(1)

### Build the QueryTables.Add command
### QueryTables does the same as when clicking "Data » From Text" in Excel
$TxtConnector = ("TEXT;" + $inputCSV)
$Connector = $worksheet.QueryTables.add($TxtConnector,$worksheet.Range("A1"))
$query = $worksheet.QueryTables.item($Connector.name)

### Set the delimiter (, or ;) according to your regional settings
### $Excel.Application.International(3) = ,
### $Excel.Application.International(5) = ;
$query.TextFileOtherDelimiter = $Excel.Application.International(5)

### Set the format to delimited and text for every column
### A trick to create an array of 2s is used with the preceding comma
$query.TextFileParseType  = 1
$query.TextFileColumnDataTypes = ,2 * $worksheet.Cells.Columns.Count
$query.AdjustColumnWidth = 1

### Execute & delete the import query
$query.Refresh()
$query.Delete()

### Save & close the Workbook as XLSX. Change the output extension for Excel 2003
$Workbook.SaveAs($outputXLSX,51)
$excel.Quit()
}
## To exclude an item, use the '-exclude' parameter (wildcards if needed)
remove-item -path $workingdir -exclude *Crab4dq.csv

If you want to convert CSV to Excel without Excel being installed, you can use the great .NET library EPPlus (under LGPL license) to create and modify Excel Sheets and also convert CSV to Excel really fast!

Preparation

  1. Download the latest stable EPPlus version
  2. Extract EPPlus to your preferred location (e.g. to $HOMEDocumentsWindowsPowerShellModulesEPPlus)
  3. Right Click EPPlus.dll, select Properties and at the bottom of the General Tab click «Unblock» to allow loading of this dll. If you don’t have the rights to do this, try [Reflection.Assembly]::UnsafeLoadFrom($DLLPath) | Out-Null

Detailed Powershell Commands to import CSV to Excel

# Create temporary CSV and Excel file names
$FileNameCSV = "$HOMEDownloadstest.csv"
$FileNameExcel = "$HOMEDownloadstest.xlsx"

# Create CSV File (with first line containing type information and empty last line)
Get-Process | Export-Csv -Delimiter ';' -Encoding UTF8 -Path $FileNameCSV

# Load EPPlus
$DLLPath = "$HOMEDocumentsWindowsPowerShellModulesEPPlusEPPlus.dll"
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile($DLLPath) | Out-Null

# Set CSV Format
$Format = New-object -TypeName OfficeOpenXml.ExcelTextFormat
$Format.Delimiter = ";"
# use Text Qualifier if your CSV entries are quoted, e.g. "Cell1","Cell2"
$Format.TextQualifier = '"'
$Format.Encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$Format.SkipLinesBeginning = '1'
$Format.SkipLinesEnd = '1'

# Set Preferred Table Style
$TableStyle = [OfficeOpenXml.Table.TableStyles]::Medium1

# Create Excel File
$ExcelPackage = New-Object OfficeOpenXml.ExcelPackage 
$Worksheet = $ExcelPackage.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("FromCSV")

# Load CSV File with first row as heads using a table style
$null=$Worksheet.Cells.LoadFromText((Get-Item $FileNameCSV),$Format,$TableStyle,$true) 

# Load CSV File without table style
#$null=$Worksheet.Cells.LoadFromText($file,$format) 

# Fit Column Size to Size of Content
$Worksheet.Cells[$Worksheet.Dimension.Address].AutoFitColumns()

# Save Excel File
$ExcelPackage.SaveAs($FileNameExcel) 

Write-Host "CSV File $FileNameCSV converted to Excel file $FileNameExcel"

This is a slight variation that worked better for me.

$csv = Join-Path $env:TEMP "input.csv"
$xls = Join-Path $env:TEMP "output.xlsx"

$xl = new-object -comobject excel.application
$xl.visible = $false
$Workbook = $xl.workbooks.open($CSV)
$Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheets

$Workbook.SaveAs($XLS,1)
$Workbook.Saved = $True

$xl.Quit()

I had some problem getting the other examples to work.

EPPlus and other libraries produces OpenDocument Xml format, which is not the same as you get when you save from Excel as xlsx.

macks example with open CSV and just re-saving didn’t work, I never managed to get the ‘,’ delimiter to be used correctly.

Ansgar Wiechers example has some slight error which I found the answer for in the commencts.

Anyway, this is a complete working example. Save this in a File CsvToExcel.ps1

param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$inputfile,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$outputfile
)

$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $false

$wb = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Sheets.Item(1)

$ws.Cells.NumberFormat = "@"

write-output "Opening $inputfile"

$i = 1
Import-Csv $inputfile | Foreach-Object { 
    $j = 1
    foreach ($prop in $_.PSObject.Properties)
    {
        if ($i -eq 1) {
            $ws.Cells.Item($i, $j) = $prop.Name
        } else {
            $ws.Cells.Item($i, $j) = $prop.Value
        }
        $j++
    }
    $i++
}

$wb.SaveAs($outputfile,51)
$wb.Close()
$excel.Quit()
write-output "Success"

Execute with:

.CsvToExcel.ps1 -inputfile "C:TempXdata.csv" -outputfile "C:TempXdata.xlsx"

Automate Excel with PowerShell without having Excel installedДанный материал является переводом оригинальной статьи «ATA Learning : Adam Bertram : PowerShell and Excel: Seize the Power!».

Microsoft Excel — один из тех вездесущих инструментов, от которых большинство из нас не может уйти, даже если хочет. Многие ИТ-специалисты используют Excel, как небольшую базу данных, в которой хранятся тонны данных в различных процедурах автоматизации. Каков наилучший сценарий автоматизации и Excel? Это, например, PowerShell!

Работу с таблицами Excel непросто автоматизировать. В отличие от менее функционального (и более простого) аналога файла CSV, книги Excel — это не просто текстовые файлы. Для работы со сложными книгами Excel потребует от PowerShell манипуляции с Component Object Model (COM), для чего раньше нужно было установить Excel. Однако, на самом деле, это вовсе не обязательно. Например, проницательный участник сообщества PowerShell, Doug Finke, создал модуль PowerShell, названный ImportExcel. Модуль устраняет сложность работы с Excel и позволяет легко работать с книгами Excel через PowerShell сценарии!

В этой статье рассмотрим пример того, что можно сделать в PowerShell и Excel с помощью модуля ImportExcel, а также рассмотрим несколько популярных вариантов использования.

Предварительные требования

При запуске модуля ImportExcel в системе Windows отдельные зависимости не требуются. Однако, если вы работаете с MacOS, вам необходимо установить пакет mono-libgdiplus, используя команду вида:

brew install mono-libgdiplus

Примечание: Все примеры в этой статье будут построены с использованием macOS, но все они должны работать и на других платформах. При использовании macOS, не забудьте перезапустить сеанс PowerShell, прежде чем продолжить.

Установка модуля ImportExcel

Начните с загрузки и установки модуля через PowerShell Gallery, запустив:

Install-Module ImportExcel -Scope CurrentUser

Через несколько секунд все будет в порядке.

Использование PowerShell для экспорта в рабочий лист Excel

Возможно, вы знакомы со стандартными командлетами PowerShell Export-Csv и Import-Csv. Эти командлеты позволяют читать и экспортировать объекты PowerShell в файлы CSV. К сожалению, в PowerShell нет таких же встроенных командлетов для Excel. Но, используя модуль ImportExcel, вы можете создать такой функционал!

Один из наиболее частых запросов системного администратора — это экспорт объектов PowerShell в рабочий лист Excel. С помощью командлета Export-Excel из модуля ImportExcel, вы можете легко сделать это. Командлет Export-Excel принимает любой объект точно так же, как делает Export-Csv. Этому командлету можно передать любой объект.

Например, возможно, вам нужно найти какие-то процессы, запущенные на вашем локальном компьютере, и поместить их в книгу Excel.

Чтобы найти процессы, запущенные в системе с помощью PowerShell, используйте командлет Get-Process, который возвращает каждый запущенный процесс и различную информацию о каждом процессе. Чтобы экспортировать эту информацию в Excel, используйте командлет Export-Excel, указывающий путь к создаваемой книге Excel. Вы можете увидеть пример команды и снимок экрана сгенерированного файла Excel ниже.

Get-Process | Export-Excel -Path './processes.xlsx

PowerShell command Export-Excel

Поздравляем! Вы экспортировали всю информацию точно так же, как Export-Csv, но, в отличие от Export-Csv, мы можем сделать эти данные намного интереснее. Убедитесь, что имя рабочего листа называется «Proccesses», данные находятся в таблице, а размер строк устанавливается автоматически.

Добавим к командлету параметр -AutoSize для автоматического изменения размера всех строк, -TableName, чтобы указать имя таблицы, которая будет включать все данные, и имя параметра -WorksheetName для процессов, и сможем увидеть на снимке экрана ниже, что в итоге получится.

Get-Process | Export-Excel -Path './processes.xlsx' -AutoSize -TableName 'Processes' -WorksheetName 'Proccesses'

PowerShell command Export-Excel as Table

Командлет Export-Excel имеет множество параметров, которые можно использовать для создания книг Excel всех видов. Для получения полной информации о возможностях Export-Excel, запустите:

Get-Help Export-Excel
Использование PowerShell для импорта в Excel

Итак, ранее вы экспортировали некоторую информацию в файл с именем process.xlsx. Возможно, теперь вам нужно переместить этот файл на другой компьютер и импортировать / прочитать эту информацию. Командлет Import-Excel к вашим услугам.

При простейшем использовании вам нужно только указать путь к документу / книге Excel с помощью параметра -Path, как показано ниже. Вы увидите, что он читает первый рабочий лист, в данном случае рабочий лист «Processes», и возвращает объекты PowerShell.

Import-Excel -Path './processes.xlsx'

PowerShell command Import-Excel

Может быть, у вас есть несколько листов в книге Excel? Вы можете прочитать конкретный рабочий лист с помощью параметра -WorkSheetname.

Import-Excel -Path './processes.xlsx' -WorkSheetname 'SecondWorksheet'

Вам нужно читать только определенные столбцы из рабочего листа Excel? Используйте параметр -HeaderName, чтобы указать только те параметры, которые вы хотите прочитать.

Import-Excel -Path './processes.xlsx' –WorkSheetname 'Processes' -HeaderName 'CPU','Handle'

Командлет Import-Excel имеет другие параметры, которые можно использовать для чтения книг Excel всех типов. Чтобы получить полное изложение всего, что может делать Import-Excel, запустите:

Get-Help Import-Excel
Использование PowerShell для получения (и установки) значений ячеек Excel

Теперь вы знаете, как читать весь лист Excel с помощью PowerShell. Но что, если вам нужно только одно значение ячейки? Технически вы можете использовать Import-Excel и отфильтровать нужное значение с помощью Where-Object, но это будет не слишком эффективно.

Вместо этого, используя командлет Open-ExcelPackage, вы можете «преобразовать» книгу Excel в объект PowerShell, который затем можно будет читать и изменять. Этот командлет аналогичен использованию New-Object -ComObject ‘Excel.Application’, если работать напрямую с COM-объектами.

Чтобы найти значение ячейки, сначала откройте книгу Excel, чтобы занести его в память. Затем выберите лист внутри книги.

$excel = Open-ExcelPackage -Path './processes.xlsx'
$worksheet = $excel.Workbook.Worksheets['Processes']

Этот процесс похож на способ открытия книг с помощью COM-объекта ‘Excel.Workbooks.Open’.

После того, как рабочий лист назначен переменной, вы можете перейти к отдельным строкам, столбцам и ячейкам. Возможно, вам нужно найти все значения ячеек в строке A1. Вам просто нужно сослаться на свойство ‘Cells’, указав индекс A1, как показано ниже.

$worksheet.Cells['A1'].Value

Вы также можете изменить значение ячеек на листе, присвоив другое значение, например:

$worksheet.Cells['A1'] = 'differentvalue'

Будучи хранимым в оперативной памяти, важно высвобождать пакет Excel с помощью командлета Close-ExcelPackage.

Close-ExcelPackage $excel
Конверсия Excel в файлы CSV с помощью PowerShell

Если у вас есть содержимое листа Excel, представленное с помощью объектов PowerShell, преобразование листов Excel в CSV просто требует отправки этих объектов в командлет Export-Csv.

Используя созданную ранее книгу processes.xlsx, прочтите первый рабочий лист, который получает все данные в объекты PowerShell, а затем экспортируйте эти объекты в CSV с помощью приведенной ниже команды.

Import-Excel './processes.xlsx' | Export-Csv -Path './processes.csv' -NoTypeInformation
Конверсия множества рабочих листов

Если у вас есть книга Excel с несколькими листами, вы также можете создать файл CSV для каждого листа. Для этого вы можете найти все листы в книге с помощью командлета Get-ExcelSheetInfo. Когда у вас есть имена рабочих листов, вы можете передать их в параметр -WorksheetName, а также использовать имя листа в качестве имени файла CSV.

Ниже вы можете найти необходимый пример кода.

$sheets = (Get-ExcelSheetInfo -Path './processes.xlsx').Name
foreach ($sheet in $sheets) {
 Import-Excel -WorksheetName $sheet -Path './processes.xlsx' | Export-Csv "./$sheet.csv" -NoTypeInformation
 }
Заключение

Используя модуль ImportExcel из библиотеки модулей PowerShell, вы можете импортировать, экспортировать и управлять данными в книгах Excel точно так же, как и в CSV, без установки Excel!

Update 07SEPT2010: Updated script based on an excellent comment to use the Paste() method for converting CSV files into an excel workbook. Thanks Luc!

While going through the Technet Powershell Forums and Scripting Guys Forums, I came across a question by an individual who was looking for the best way to convert a .csv file into an excel file. As it stood, the individual only need to convert one csv file and that made for a fairly easy solution.

$xl = new-object -comobject excel.application
$xl.visible = $true
$Workbook = $xl.workbooks.open(“$loglocationerrors_$server.csv”)
$Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheets
$Workbook.SaveAs(“$loglocationerrors_$server.xls”,1)
$Workbook.Saved = $True
$xl.Quit()

Simple enough. Just open up the CSV file using a created excel com object in Powershell and then save that file as an excel spreadsheet.

This got me to thinking about what if I wanted to save multiple csv files into an excel workbook? How would that be done? And of course, can this all be automated to auto-fit the columns and provide a name to each worksheet that was relevant to each csv file that was being converted?

The short answer, is…Yes! This can be done with Powershell and accomplish all of the requirements.

Below is the script that I wrote that takes multiple csv files and adds them all into excel.  It also auto-fits each column in excel so when you open it up, you already have access to all of the information without having to manually re-size each column. Plus, for each csv that you submit, a separate worksheet is created with the name of the csv file submitted, minus the extension.  Depending on the size of the csv, the time it takes for the conversion will vary.

As shown in the picture below, I have two csv files that are being converted into one excel workbook and saved to whatever filename I want using the .xlsx format.

When I open up the excel file, I now see both of my CSV’s there to view.

Simple enough!

Make Your CSV Output Look Nicer

The ImportExcel module is available in the PowerShell gallery. Maintained by MVP Doug Finke, the module allows developers to import and export data to Excel without needing to install the application on a workstation.

Although Microsoft 365 comes with some basic reports, many organizations use PowerShell scripts to generate reports covering anything from user activity to lists of mailboxes. Often, scripts use the Export-CSV cmdlet to export reports to CSV files. Later, people might use the CSV file to create a nicer report with Excel or import the data into Power BI. I cannot count the number of times I have been through this routine. On the input side, the Import-CSV cmdlet brings data into PowerShell for processing, such as a list of mailboxes to check.

Exporting to Excel

To check out the ImportExcel module, I used some of the reporting scripts I have discussed here over the years. After consulting the FAQ, I started by using the script to report the storage used by OneDrive for Business sites to generate a report, which is in a PowerShell list called $Report. To export to Excel (and have Excel start with the data loaded if the application is available), all I need to do is:

$Report | Export-Excel

Excel loads the data after applying the default table style (Figure 1).

Default Excel style used by ImportExcel module
Figure 1: Default Excel style used by ImportExcel module

To export to a named spreadsheet, add its name to the command:

$Report | Export-Excel -Path c:TempOneDrive.xlsx

This kind of export doesn’t apply any formatting, so you end up with something like Figure 2.

Exporting to a named spreadsheet file uses a different style
Figure 2: Exporting to a named spreadsheet file uses a different style

Because Excel supports multiple worksheets in a workbook, you can add new worksheets to an existing workbook. For example:

$Report | Export-Excel -Path c:TempOneDrive.xlsx -Append -WorksheetName "New data"

A more sophisticated version of the command creates a workbook with a named sheet, named table, title, and a different style. The names of the available table styles are visible if you hover over the styles displayed in the Excel Format as Table option. Figure 3 shows the output of this command:

$Report | Export-Excel -Path c:TempOneDrive.xlsx -WorksheetName "May 2022" -Title "OneDrive for Business Storage Consumption" -TitleBold -TableName "OneDriveStorage" -TableStyle Dark1
Using a different style to generate a worksheet

Charts

One of Excel’s most popular features is its ability to generate a variety of charts from spreadsheet data. To create a chart in a worksheet, we first define the kind of chart to generate in a variable and then export the data using the chart definition. Here’s how I created a pie chart (Figure 4) of the OneDrive storage data.

$ExcelChart = New-ExcelChartDefinition -XRange Owner -YRange UsedGB -ChartType Pie -Title "OneDrive for Business Storage"
$Report | Export-Excel -Path c:tempOneDrive.xlsx -Append -WorksheetName "Pie Chart" -ExcelChartDefinition $ExcelChart -AutoNameRange -Show -Title "OneDrive for Business Storage"
Including a chart in an Excel worksheet

Some trial and error are necessary to select the chart type from the set supported by Excel, but it’s easy enough to figure out.

Teams Membership

The ImportExcel module handled any of the reports I used as input. For instance, the output from the Microsoft 365 and Teams Membership Report script can grow to be pretty large, but ImportExcel had no problems. I generated the report shown in Figure 5 with this command:

$SummaryData | Export-Excel -Path c:TempTeamMembership.xlsx -WorksheetName "Groups May 2022" -Title "Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams Membership" -TitleBold -TableName "GroupsMembership" -TableStyle Medium28
The Excel version of the Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams membership report

Importing from Excel

Importing from Excel is like using the Import-CSV cmdlet, but with some extra controls. In this example, I identify what columns to import and a starting row.

[array]$Data = Import-Excel -Path c:tempTeamMembership.xlsx -ImportColumns @(1,2,3,4,5) -StartRow 2

Once loaded into the array, you can interact with the data using standard PowerShell commands. For instance, this code loops through the data to highlight users with “red” in their name:

ForEach ($D in $Data) {
   If ($D.User -like "*Red*") {
      Write-Host ("{0} is a member of {1} groups..." -f $D.User, $D."Groups count" ) }
}

Updating Excel

Having some extra control over how you load data into PowerShell is interesting. Being able to interact with Excel data through Excel is more interesting. To do this, we use ImportExcel to load information for a worksheet in the target spreadsheet into a variable, and then use it to populate an array with information from the cells in the worksheet:

$ExcelData = Open-ExcelPackage -path c:tempTeamMembership.xlsx
$Data = $ExcelData.Workbook.WorkSheets["Groups May 2022"].Cells

We can now navigate through cells using a row/column notation. For example, cell 3,1 (third row, first column) contains this information:

$Data[3,1]

Style                 : OfficeOpenXml.Style.ExcelStyle
StyleName             : Normal
StyleID               : 0
Value                 : Tony Redmond
Text                  : Tony Redmond
Formula               :
FormulaR1C1           :
Hyperlink             :
Merge                 : False
AutoFilter            : False
IsRichText            : False
IsArrayFormula        : False
RichText              : {}
Comment               :
Worksheet             : Groups May 2022
FullAddress           : 'Groups May 2022'!A3
FullAddressAbsolute   : 'Groups May 2022'!$A$3
ConditionalFormatting : OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.RangeConditionalFormatting
DataValidation        : OfficeOpenXml.DataValidation.RangeDataValidation
Current               :
Address               : A3
Start                 : OfficeOpenXml.ExcelCellAddress
End                   : OfficeOpenXml.ExcelCellAddress
Table                 :
IsName                : False
Rows                  : 1
Columns               : 1

To update the cell, we write a new value into it, and when happy that the value is correct, close the Excel spreadsheet to save the data.

$Data[3,1].Value = “The Fool on the Hill”
$Data[3,1] | Select -ExpandProperty Value
The Fool on the Hill
Close-ExcelPackage $ExcelData

Excel’s normal AutoSave functionality does not work, even when the spreadsheet location is on OneDrive for Business or a SharePoint Online site, so it’s important to remember to make changes and then save to commit, just like when working with files stored on local drives.

Worthwhile Toolkit Component

I like the ImportExcel module and think it brings a lot of useful functionality to the table. It’s an easy upgrade to apply formatting to CSV reports generated by scripts and certainly something worth considering, especially if the intended consumers of a report like charts.
