In reply to Virtualizer. I'm not sure if that is possible at all, especially the charts. For the data you can read the XLSX worksheet into an array, and then convert that array to a HTML table.

Need your advice on this.
I have a XLSX file with table, and a bar chart within a sheet.
How should i export the both table & barchart into HTML format and email out?

I have done on CSV files with table on COM objects to HTML without issues, but stuck with XLSX.

In reply to Everton. Hi Everton, Thanks. Since I wrote that post, there has been a new module, that does working with Excel files a lot better, and has more options. Have a look at the ImportExcel module. One of the big advantages in this module is that it doesn't need Excel to be installed on the station where you use the module. Also for your scheduled task, I'm sure the ImportExcel module will do a much better job than my function.

Great Work!
Question: Is it possible for this to work on a scheduled task?
The same script I run mannualy and it works, but when it runs on a scheduled task, it doesn’t.

In reply to Mike Cooper. Not sure if it's a PowerShell thing or Excel's default cell formatting. Did you already try casting those values explicitly to [string] before you do the Export-Xlsx ?

This is fantastic, I have an old VB script that I can replace and it is 300% faster in powershell. The only problem that I have is that a couple of my columns have leading zeros and it is stripping out those 0 (zeros). Any suggestions.

In reply to Kelley. I found a solution to splitting the header row. It not solved in the export-xlsx script but in the script that generates the data that gets piped to this great script. All I had to do to break the heading into more than one rows was insert `n. So to break the text "Total Mailbox Size" I changed it to "Total`nMailbox`nSize". Worked great. I'm sure everyone else in the world already knows this trick but it took a bit for me to find it.
