Set-Column.ps1
Function Set-ExcelColumn { <# .SYNOPSIS Adds or modifies a column in an Excel worksheet, filling values, setting formatting and/or creating named ranges. .DESCRIPTION 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. .EXAMPLE 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 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. .EXAMPLE 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..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. #> [cmdletbinding()] [Alias("Set-Column")] [OutputType([OfficeOpenXml.ExcelColumn],[String])] Param ( #If specifying the worksheet by name, the ExcelPackage object which contains the worksheet also needs to be passed.
