Send-SqlDataToExcel.ps1
Function Send-SQLDataToExcel { <# .SYNOPSIS Inserts a DataTable - returned by SQL query into an ExcelSheet, more efficiently than sending it via Export-Excel .DESCRIPTION This command can accept a data table object or take a SQL statement and run it against a database connection. If running a SQL statement, the accepts either * an object representing a session with a SQL server or ODBC database, or * a connection String to make a session. The command takes most of the parameters of Export-Excel, and after inserting the table into the worksheet it calls Export-Excel to carry out other tasks on the sheet. It is more efficient to do this than to get data-rows and pipe them into Export-Excel, stripped off the database 'housekeeping' properties. .PARAMETER DataTable A System.Data.DataTable object containing the data to be inserted into the spreadsheet without running a query. .PARAMETER Session An active ODBC Connection or SQL connection object representing a session with a database which will be queried to get the data . .PARAMETER Connection A database connection string to be used to create a database session; either * A Data source name written in the form DSN=ODBC_Data_Source_Name, or * A full odbc or SQL Connection string, or * The name of a SQL server. .PARAMETER MSSQLServer Specifies the connection string is for SQL server, not ODBC. .PARAMETER SQL The SQL query to run against the session which was passed in -Session or set up from -Connection. .PARAMETER Database Switches to a specific database on a SQL server. .PARAMETER QueryTimeout Override the default query time of 30 seconds. .PARAMETER Path Path to a new or existing .XLSX file. .PARAMETER WorkSheetName The name of a sheet within the workbook - "Sheet1" by default. .PARAMETER KillExcel Closes Excel - prevents errors writing to the file because Excel has it open. .PARAMETER Title Text of a title to be placed in the top left cell. .PARAMETER TitleBold Sets the title in boldface type. .PARAMETER TitleSize Sets the point size for the title. .PARAMETER TitleBackgroundColor Sets the cell background color for the title cell. .PARAMETER TitleFillPattern Sets the fill pattern for the title cell. .PARAMETER Password Sets password protection on the workbook. .PARAMETER IncludePivotTable Adds a Pivot table using the data in the worksheet. .PARAMETER PivotTableName If a Pivot table is created from command line parameters, specificies the name of the new sheet holding the pivot. If Omitted this will be "WorksheetName-PivotTable" .PARAMETER PivotRows Name(s) columns from the spreadhseet which will provide the Row name(s) in a pivot table created from command line parameters. .PARAMETER PivotColumns Name(s) columns from the spreadhseet which will provide the Column name(s) in a pivot table created from command line parameters. .PARAMETER PivotFilter Name(s) columns from the spreadhseet which will provide the Filter name(s) in a pivot table created from command line parameters. .PARAMETER PivotData In a pivot table created from command line parameters, the fields to use in the table body is given as a Hash table in the form ColumnName = Average|Count|CountNums|Max|Min|Product|None|StdDev|StdDevP|Sum|Var|VarP . .PARAMETER PivotDataToColumn If there are multiple datasets in a PivotTable, by default they are shown seperatate rows under the given row heading; this switch makes them seperate columns. .PARAMETER NoTotalsInPivot In a pivot table created from command line parameters, prevents the addition of totals to rows and columns. .PARAMETER IncludePivotChart Include a chart with the Pivot table - implies -IncludePivotTable. .PARAMETER ChartType The type for Pivot chart (one of Excel's defined chart types) .PARAMETER NoLegend Exclude the legend from the pivot chart. .PARAMETER ShowCategory Add category labels to the pivot chart. .PARAMETER ShowPercent Add Percentage labels to the pivot chart. .PARAMETER PivotTableDefinition Instead of describing a single pivot table with mutliple commandline paramters; you can use a HashTable in the form PivotTableName = Definition; Definition is itself a hashtable with Sheet PivotTows, PivotColumns, PivotData, IncludePivotChart and ChartType values. .PARAMETER ConditionalFormat One or more conditional formatting rules defined with New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet. .PARAMETER ConditionalText Applies a 'Conditional formatting rule' in Excel on all the cells. When specific conditions are met a rule is triggered. .PARAMETER BoldTopRow Makes the top Row boldface. .PARAMETER NoHeader Does not put field names at the top of columns. .PARAMETER RangeName Makes the data in the worksheet a named range. .PARAMETER AutoNameRange Makes each column a named range. .PARAMETER TableName Makes the data in the worksheet a table with a name applies a style to it. Name must not contain spaces. .PARAMETER TableStyle Selects the style for the named table - defaults to 'Medium6'. .PARAMETER BarChart Creates a "quick" bar chart using the first text column as labels and the first numeric column as values .PARAMETER ColumnChart Creates a "quick" column chart using the first text column as labels and the first numeric column as values .PARAMETER LineChart Creates a "quick" line chart using the first text column as labels and the first numeric column as values .PARAMETER PieChart Creates a "quick" pie chart using the first text column as labels and the first numeric column as values .PARAMETER ExcelChartDefinition A hash table containing ChartType, Title, NoLegend, ShowCategory, ShowPercent, Yrange, Xrange and SeriesHeader for one or more [non-pivot] charts. .PARAMETER StartRow Row to start adding data. 1 by default. Row 1 will contain the title if any. Then headers will appear (Unless -No header is specified) then the data appears. .PARAMETER StartColumn Column to start adding data - 1 by default. .PARAMETER FreezeTopRow Freezes headers etc. in the top row. .PARAMETER FreezeFirstColumn Freezes titles etc. in the left column. .PARAMETER FreezeTopRowFirstColumn Freezes top row and left column (equivalent to Freeze pane 2,2 ). .PARAMETER FreezePane Freezes panes at specified coordinates (in the form RowNumber , ColumnNumber). .PARAMETER AutoFilter Enables the 'Filter' in Excel on the complete header row. So users can easily sort, filter and/or search the data in the select column from within Excel. .PARAMETER AutoSize Sizes the width of the Excel column to the maximum width needed to display all the containing data in that cell. .PARAMETER Show Opens the Excel file immediately after creation. Convenient for viewing the results instantly without having to search for the file first. .PARAMETER CellStyleSB A script block which is run at the end of the process to apply styles to cells (although it can be used for other purposes). The script block is given three paramaters; an object containing the current worksheet, the Total number of Rows and the number of the last column. .PARAMETER ReturnRange If specified, Export-Excel returns the range of added cells in the format "A1:Z100" .PARAMETER PassThru If specified, Export-Excel returns an object representing the Excel package without saving the package first. To save it you need to call the save or Saveas method or send it back to Export-Excel. .EXAMPLE C:\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -MsSQLserver -Connection localhost -SQL "select name,type,type_desc from [master].[sys].[all_objects]" -Path .\temp.xlsx -WorkSheetname master -AutoSize -FreezeTopRow -AutoFilter -BoldTopRow Connects to the local SQL server and selects 3 columns from [Sys].[all_objects] and exports then to a sheet named master with some basic header management .EXAMPLE C:\> $SQL="SELECT top 25 Name,Length From TestData ORDER BY Length DESC" C:\> $Connection = ' Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=C:\Users\James\Documents\Database1.accdb;' C:\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -Connection $connection -SQL $sql -path .\demo1.xlsx -WorkSheetname "Sizes" -AutoSize This declares a SQL statement and creates an ODBC connection string to read from an Access file and extracts data from it and sends it to a new worksheet .EXAMPLE C:\> $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" C:\> $Connection = 'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};Dbq=C:\users\James\Documents\f1Results.xlsx;' C:\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -Connection $connection -SQL $sql -path .\demo1.xlsx -WorkSheetname "Winners" -AutoSize -AutoNameRange -ConditionalFormat @{DataBarColor="Blue"; Range="Wins"} This declares a SQL statement and creates an ODBC connection string to read from an Excel file, it then runs the statement and outputs the resulting data to a new spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is formatted and a data bar added to show make the drivers' wins clearer.

Here it 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 F1 results database is available from https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhfYu7-CJv4ehNdZWxJE9LMAX_N5sg ) .EXAMPLE C:\> $SQL = "SELECT top 25 DriverName, Count(Win) as Wins FROM Results GROUP BY DriverName ORDER BY (count(win)) DESC" C:\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -Session $DbSessions["f1"] -SQL $sql -Path ".\demo3.xlsx" -WorkSheetname Gpwinners -autosize -ColumnChart Like the previous example, this uses Get-SQL (download from the gallery with Install-Module -Name GetSQL). It uses the connection which Get-SQL made rather than an ODFBC connection string Here the data is presented as a quick chart. .EXAMPLE C:\> Send-SQLDataToExcel -path .\demo3.xlsx -WorkSheetname "LR" -Connection "DSN=LR" -sql "SELECT name AS CollectionName FROM AgLibraryCollection Collection ORDER BY CollectionName" This example uses an Existing ODBC datasource name "LR" which maps to an adobe lightroom database and gets a list of collection names into a worksheet #> [CmdletBinding()] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSAvoidUsingPlainTextForPassword","")] param ( [Parameter(ParameterSetName="SQLConnection", Mandatory=$true)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName="ODBCConnection",Mandatory=$true)] $Connection, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="ExistingSession",Mandatory=$true)] [System.Data.Common.DbConnection]$Session, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="SQLConnection",Mandatory=$true)] [switch]$MsSQLserver, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="SQLConnection")] [String]$DataBase, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="SQLConnection", Mandatory=$true)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName="ODBCConnection",Mandatory=$true)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName="ExistingSession",Mandatory=$true)] [string]$SQL, [int]$QueryTimeout, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="Pre-FetchedData",Mandatory=$true)] [System.Data.DataTable]$DataTable, $Path, [String]$WorkSheetname = 'Sheet1', [Switch]$KillExcel, [Switch]$Show, [String]$Title, [OfficeOpenXml.Style.ExcelFillStyle]$TitleFillPattern = 'None', [Switch]$TitleBold, [Int]$TitleSize = 22, $TitleBackgroundColor, [String]$Password, [Hashtable]$PivotTableDefinition, [Switch]$IncludePivotTable, [String[]]$PivotRows, [String[]]$PivotColumns, $PivotData, [String[]]$PivotFilter, [Switch]$PivotDataToColumn, [Switch]$NoTotalsInPivot, [Switch]$IncludePivotChart, [OfficeOpenXml.Drawing.Chart.eChartType]$ChartType = 'Pie', [Switch]$NoLegend, [Switch]$ShowCategory, [Switch]$ShowPercent, [Switch]$AutoSize, [Switch]$FreezeTopRow, [Switch]$FreezeFirstColumn, [Switch]$FreezeTopRowFirstColumn, [Int[]]$FreezePane, [Switch]$AutoFilter, [Switch]$BoldTopRow, [Switch]$NoHeader, [String]$RangeName, [String]$TableName, [OfficeOpenXml.Table.TableStyles]$TableStyle = 'Medium6', [Switch]$Barchart, [Switch]$PieChart, [Switch]$LineChart , [Switch]$ColumnChart , [Object[]]$ExcelChartDefinition, [Switch]$AutoNameRange, [Object[]]$ConditionalFormat, [Object[]]$ConditionalText, [ScriptBlock]$CellStyleSB, [Int]$StartRow = 1, [Int]$StartColumn = 1, [Switch]$ReturnRange, [Switch]$Passthru ) if ($KillExcel) { Get-Process excel -ErrorAction Ignore | Stop-Process while (Get-Process excel -ErrorAction Ignore) {Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250} } #We were either given a session object or a connection string (with, optionally a MSSQLServer parameter) # If we got -MSSQLServer, create a SQL connection, if we didn't but we got -Connection create an ODBC connection if ($MsSQLserver -and $Connection) { if ($Connection -notmatch "=") {$Connection = "server=$Connection;trusted_connection=true;timeout=60"} $Session = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection -ArgumentList $Connection if ($Session.State -ne 'Open') {$Session.Open()} if ($DataBase) {$Session.ChangeDatabase($DataBase) } } elseif ($Connection) { $Session = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection -ArgumentList $Connection ; $Session.ConnectionTimeout = 30 } If ($session) { #A session was either passed in or just created.
