function Search-CellValue { <# .SYNOPSIS Find a value in a spreadsheet .DESCRIPTION Find a value in a spreadsheet Specify an xlsx path, an ExcelPackage object, or a WorkSheet to search, and a ScriptBlock you want to run the cell values against .PARAMETER Path Path to an xlsx file to search .PARAMETER Excel An ExcelPackage to search .PARAMETER WorkSheet An Excel WorkSheet to search .PARAMETER WorksheetName Optional name of Worksheet to search .PARAMETER FilterScript Scriptblock that we call with Where-Object against every cell value $_ would refer to the value of the cell. .PARAMETER As How the data should be returned Default WorksheetName, Row, Column, Match data Raw Return the value only Passthru Return the cell item .EXAMPLE Search-CellValue -Path C:\Temp\Demo.xlsx {$_ -like 'jsmith*'} #Find any cell values like jsmith* .EXAMPLE Search-CellValue = Get-ExcelValue -Path C:\Temp\Demo.xlsx {$_ -like 'jsmith*'} -As Passthru #Returns an OfficeOpenXml.ExcelRangeBase that you can process (e.g. add formatting to manually) .NOTES Thanks to Doug Finke for his example: https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel/blob/master/ImportExcel.psm1 Thanks to Philip Thompson for an expansive set of examples on working with EPPlus in PowerShell: https://excelpslib.codeplex.com/ .LINK https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PSExcel .FUNCTIONALITY Excel #> [cmdletbinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'Excel')] param( [parameter( Position = 1, ParameterSetName = 'Excel', Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)] [OfficeOpenXml.ExcelPackage]$Excel, [parameter( Position = 1, ParameterSetName = 'File', Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)] [validatescript({Test-Path $_})] [string]$Path, [parameter( Position = 1, ParameterSetName = 'Worksheet', Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)] [OfficeOpenXml.ExcelWorksheet]$WorkSheet, [parameter( Mandatory = $True, Position = 0)] [scriptblock]$FilterScript, $WorkSheetName, [validateset('Default','Raw','Passthru')] [string]$As = 'Default' ) Process { Write-Verbose "PSBoundParameters: $($PSBoundParameters | Out-String)" $WSParam = @{} if($PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey( 'WorkSheetName') ) { $WSParam.Add('Name',$WorkSheetName) } Try { switch ($PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName) { 'Excel' { $WorkSheets = @( $Excel | Get-Worksheet @WSParam -ErrorAction Stop ) } 'File' { $WorkSheets = @( New-Excel -Path $Path -ErrorAction Stop | Get-Worksheet @WSParam -ErrorAction Stop ) } 'Worksheet' { $WorkSheets = @( $WorkSheet ) } } } Catch { Throw "Could not get worksheets to search: $_" } If($WorkSheets.Count -eq 0) { Throw "Something went wrong, we didn't find a worksheet" } Foreach($Sheet in $WorkSheets) { $Dimension = $Sheet.Dimension if($IgnoreHeader) { $RowStart = 2 } else { $RowStart = $Dimension.Start.Row } $ColumnStart = $Dimension.Start.Column $RowEnd = $Dimension.End.Row $ColumnEnd = $Dimension.End.Column Write-Verbose "Searching $($Sheet.Name) over coordinates $RowStart, $ColumnStart through $RowEnd, $ColumnEnd" for ($Row = $RowStart; $Row -le $RowEnd; $Row++) { for ($Column = $ColumnStart; $Column -le $ColumnEnd; $Column++) { $Value = $Sheet.Cells.Item($Row, $Column).Value #Handle dates, they're too common to overlook...
