write data into excel using powershell from sql table - sql

Question

I have a .xlsx file which was made into data table by oledb provider.Now I want to add value to that .xlsx based on the sql table data I have
(which is also converted into a csv file Book1.csv)
The sql table consists of name and notes...
Where name column is same in both .xlsx file and sql variable $sql
I want to add that close notes to f column of .xlsx file if the value of name matches with the value of sql table "A" column One I wrote below is very slow and not effective.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Workbook = $Excel.Workbooks.Open('C:\Users\VIKRAM\Documents\Sample - Superstore.xlsx')
$workSheet = $Workbook.Sheets.Item(1)
$WorkSheet.Name
$Found = $WorkSheet.Cells.Find('$Data.number')
$Found.row
$Found.text
$Excel1 = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$file = $Excel1.Workbooks.Open('C:\Users\VIKRAM\Documents\Book1.xlsx')
$ff=$file.Sheets.Item(1)
$ff.Name
$ff1=$ff.Range("A1").entirecolumn
$ff1.Value2
foreach ($line in $ff1.value2){
if( $found.text -eq $line)
{
Write-Host "success"
$fff=$ff1.Row
$WorkSheet.Cells.item($fff,20) =$ff.cells.item($fff,2)
}
}
Data in .xlsx file
Number Priority Comment
612721 4 - High
Data in Book1.csv
Number Clo_notes
612721 Order has been closed
I need to update clo_notes value to comment in .xlsx file if this "number" column in each file matches update the clos_notes to the corresponding column of comment

It looks like you answered my question about where "Nebraska" falls into the data.
Make sure to release any COM objects, or you'll have orphaned Excel processes.
You might try something like this. I was able to write the Clo_notes value into column 6 as you were requesting:
## function to close all com objects
function Release-Ref ($ref) {
([System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject([System.__ComObject]$ref) -gt 0)
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()
}
## open Excel data
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Workbook = $Excel.Workbooks.Open('C:\Users\51290\Documents\_temp\StackOverflowAnswers\Excel.xlsx')
$workSheet = $Workbook.Sheets.Item(1)
$WorkSheet.Name
## open SQL data
$Excel1 = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$file = $Excel1.Workbooks.Open('C:\Users\51290\Documents\_temp\StackOverflowAnswers\SQL.xlsx')
$sheetSQL = $file.Sheets.Item(1)
$dataSQL = $sheetSQL.Range("A1").currentregion
$foundNumber = 0
$row_idx = 1
foreach ($row in $WorkSheet.Rows) {
"row_idx = " + $row_idx
if ($row_idx -gt 1) {
$foundNumber = $row.Cells.Item(1,1).Value2
"foundNumber = " + $foundNumber
if ($foundNumber -eq "" -or $foundNumber -eq $null) {
Break
}
foreach ($cell in $dataSQL.Cells) {
if ($cell.Row -gt 1) {
if ($cell.Column -eq 1 -and $cell.Value2 -eq $foundNumber) {
$clo_notes = $sheetSQL.Cells.Item($cell.Row, 2).Value2
Write-Host "success"
$WorkSheet.Cells.item($row_idx, 6).Value2 = $clo_notes
}
}
}
}
$row_idx++
}
$Excel.Quit()
$Excel1.Quit()
## close all object references
Release-Ref($WorkSheet)
Release-Ref($WorkBook)
Release-Ref($Excel)
Release-Ref($Excel1)
