Function Set-ExcelColumn { <# .SYNOPSIS Adds a column to the existing data area in an Excel sheet, fills values and sets formatting .DESCRIPTION Set-ExcelColumn takes 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 new 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 currecy format. Intelisense will complete 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 contains 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 data cells should become a named range, which will also be "WinsToFastLaps" 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 $ws has partial links to wikipedia pages in column B. The Value parameter is is a script block and it outputs a string which begins https... and ends with the value of cell at column B in the current row. When given a valid URI, Set-ExcelColumn makes it a hyperlink. The column will be autosized to fit the links. #> [cmdletbinding()] [Alias(" Set-Column")] [OutputType([OfficeOpenXml.ExcelColumn],[String])] Param ( #If specifing the worksheet by name the ExcelPackage object which contains it needs to be passed [Parameter(ParameterSetName="Package",Mandatory=$true)] [OfficeOpenXml.ExcelPackage]$ExcelPackage, #The sheet to update can be a given as a name or an Excel Worksheet object - this sets it by name [Parameter(ParameterSetName="Package")] #The sheet to update can be a given as a name or an Excel Worksheet object - $workSheet contains the object [String]$Worksheetname = "Sheet1", #The worksheet object can be passed instead of passing a sheet name and a package.
