Function Compare-WorkSheet { <# .Synopsis Compares two worksheets with the same name in different files. .Description This command takes two file names, a worksheet name and a name for a key column. It reads the worksheet from each file and decides the column names. It builds as hashtable of the key column values and the rows they appear in It then uses PowerShell's compare object command to compare the sheets (explicity checking all 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 rows will be considered as different simply because they have different row numbers We also add the name of the file in which the difference occurs. If -BackgroundColor is specified the difference rows will be changed to that background. .Example 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 differnce if if the software was installed on a different date or from a different place, so 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 compare-WorkSheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorkSheetName services -GridView This time two workbooks contain the result of redirecting 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 Compare-WorkSheet 'Server54.xlsx' 'Server55.xlsx' -WorkSheetName Services -BackgroundColor lightGreen This version of the command outputs the differences between the "services" pages and also highlights any different rows in the spreadsheet files. .Example Compare-WorkSheet 'Server54.xlsx' 'Server55.xlsx' -WorkSheetName Services -BackgroundColor lightGreen -FontColor Red -Show This builds on the previous example: 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 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 a limited set of columns should be used. .Example Compare-WorkSheet 'Server54.xlsx' 'Server55.xlsx' -WorkSheetName general -Startrow 2 -Headername Label,value -Key Label -GridView -ExcludeDifferent The "General" page has a title and two unlabelled columns with a row forCPU, Memory, Domain, Disk and so on So the command is instructed to starts at row 2 to skip the title and to name 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. .Example 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 lightlights all the cells in lightgray and then sets the changed rows back to white; only the unchanged rows are highlighted #> [cmdletbinding(DefaultParameterSetName)] Param( #First file to compare [parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)] $Referencefile , #Second file to compare [parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=1)] $Differencefile , #Name(s) of worksheets to compare. $WorkSheetName = "Sheet1", #Properties to include in the DIFF - supports wildcards, default is "*" $Property = "*" , #Properties to exclude from the the search - supports wildcards $ExcludeProperty , #Specifies custom property names to use, instead of the values defined in the column headers of the TopRow.
