Function Merge-Worksheet { <# .Synopsis Merges two Worksheets (or other objects) into a single Worksheet with differences marked up. .Description The Compare-Worksheet command takes two Worksheets and marks differences in the source document, and optionally outputs a grid showing the changes. By contrast the Merge-Worksheet command takes the Worksheets and combines them into a single sheet showing the old and new data side by side. Although it is designed to work with Excel data it can work with arrays of any kind of object; so it can be a merge *of* Worksheets, or a merge *to* a Worksheet. .Example Merge-Worksheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorksheetName services -OutputFile Services.xlsx -OutputSheetName 54-55 -show The workbooks contain audit information for two servers, one sheet contains a list of services. This command creates a worksheet named "54-55" in a workbook named "services.xlsx" which shows all the services and their differences, and opens the new workbook in Excel. .Example Merge-Worksheet "Server54.xlsx" "Server55.xlsx" -WorksheetName services -OutputFile Services.xlsx -OutputSheetName 54-55 -HideEqual -AddBackgroundColor LightBlue -show This modifies the previous command to hide the equal rows in the output sheet and changes the color used to mark rows added to the second file. .Example Merge-Worksheet -OutputFile .\j1.xlsx -OutputSheetName test11 -ReferenceObject (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.7) -DifferenceObject (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.8) -Property Length -Show This version compares two directories, and marks what has changed. Because no "Key" property is given, "Name" is assumed to be the key and the only other property examined is length. Files which are added or deleted or have changed size will be highlighed in the output sheet. Changes to dates or other attributes will be ignored. .Example Merge-Worksheet -RefO (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.7) -DiffO (dir .\ImportExcel\4.0.8) -Pr Length | Out-GridView This time no file is written and the results - which include all properties, not just length, are output and sent to Out-Gridview. This version uses aliases to shorten the parameters, (OutputFileName can be "outFile" and the Sheet can be"OutSheet"; DifferenceObject & ReferenceObject can be DiffObject & RefObject respectively). #> [cmdletbinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)] Param( #First Excel file to compare.

Merge-MultipleSheets is designed to merge more than two. So if asked to merge sheets A,B,C which contain Services, with a Name, Displayname and Start mode, where "Name" is treated as the key, Merge-MultipleSheets calls Merge-Worksheet to merge "Name", "Displayname" and "Startmode" from sheets A and C; the result has column headings "_Row", "Name", "DisplayName", "Startmode", "C-DisplayName", "C-StartMode", "C-Is" and "C-Row". Merge-MultipleSheets then calls Merge-Worksheet again passing it the intermediate result and sheet B, comparing "Name", "Displayname" and "Start mode" columns on each side, and gets a result with columns "_Row", "Name", "DisplayName", "Startmode", "B-DisplayName", "B-StartMode", "B-Is", "B-Row", "C-DisplayName", "C-StartMode", "C-Is" and "C-Row". Any columns on the "reference" side which are not used in the comparison are added on the right, which is why we compare the sheets in reverse order. The "Is" columns hold "Same", "Added", "Removed" or "Changed" and is used for conditional formatting in the output sheet (these columns are hidden by default), and when the data is written to Excel the "reference" columns, in this case "DisplayName" and "Start" are renamed to reflect their source, so become "A-DisplayName" and "A-Start". Conditional formatting is also applied to the Key column ("Name" in this case) so the view can be filtered to rows with changes by filtering this column on color. Note: the processing order can affect what is seen as a change. For example if there is an extra item in sheet B in the example above, Sheet C will be processed and that row and will not be seen to be missing. When sheet B is processed it is marked as an addition, and the conditional formatting marks the entries from sheet A to show that a values were added in at least one sheet. However if Sheet B is the reference sheet, A and C will be seen to have an item removed; and if B is processed before C, the extra item is known when C is processed and so C is considered to be missing that item. .Example dir Server*.xlsx | Merge-MulipleSheets -WorksheetName Services -OutputFile Test2.xlsx -OutputSheetName Services -Show Here we are auditing servers and each one has a workbook in the current directory which contains a "Services" Worksheet (the result of Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service | Select-Object -Property Name, Displayname, Startmode) No key is specified so the key is assumed to be the "Name" column. The files are merged and the result is opened on completion. .Example dir Serv*.xlsx | Merge-MulipleSheets -WorksheetName Software -Key "*" -ExcludeProperty Install* -OutputFile Test2.xlsx -OutputSheetName Software -Show The server audit files in the previous example also have "Software" worksheet, but no single field on that sheet works as a key. Specifying "*" for the key produces a compound key using all non-excluded fields (and the installation date and file location are excluded). .Example Merge-MulipleSheets -Path hotfixes.xlsx -WorksheetName Serv* -Key hotfixid -OutputFile test2.xlsx -OutputSheetName hotfixes -HideRowNumbers -Show This time all the servers have written their hotfix information to their own worksheets in a shared Excel workbook named "Hotfixes.xlsx" (the information was obtained by running Get-Hotfix | Sort-Object -Property description,hotfixid | Select-Object -Property Description,HotfixID) This ignores any sheets which are not named "Serv*", and uses the HotfixID as the key; in this version the row numbers are hidden. #> [cmdletbinding()] #[Alias("Merge-MulipleSheets")] #There was a spelling error in the first release.
