I would like to know how to apply Excel column B (Powershell source) to the same folder name as Excel column A value - excel

Question

There are A, B, C, D, E folders in the "image folder".(C:image)
Excel column A value refers to the folder name in "Image Folder".(Destination)
The Excel column B value is the source of the PowerShell and plays a role of changing the name of the file in the A~E folder.
When the Excel column A and the folder name match, the power cell source in Excel column B is applied at once. In other words, it tries to apply the PowerShell source in column B to each file in folders A to F at once. I want to implement it as a powershell source. Can you help? please

As commented, the code you use in the Excel is the same for every subfolder mentioned. That is why I don't think you need that Excel at all, it would just provide more overhead.
Why not do
Change all filenames inside the (1 level) of subfolders inside the rootfolder:
$rootFolder = 'C:\Image'
Get-ChildItem -Path $rootFolder -Filter '*.jpg' -File -Recurse -Depth 1 |
Group-Object -Property #{Expression = {$_.Directory.Name}} |
ForEach-Object {
$dir = $_.Name
$nr = 1
foreach ($file in $_.Group) {
$file | Rename-Item -NewName ('{0}_{1}.jpg' -f $dir, $nr++ )
}
}
Or if you have more folders inside the C:\Image folder and you want to limit to certain subfolders
$rootFolder = 'C:\Image'
$subfolders = 'A','B','C','D','E' # array of folders to process
foreach ($dir in $subfolders) {
$path = Join-Path -Path $rootFolder -ChildPath $dir
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Filter '*.jpg' -File |
Group-Object -Property #{Expression = {$_.Directory.Name}} |
ForEach-Object {
$dir = $_.Name
$nr = 1
foreach ($file in $_.Group) {
$file | Rename-Item -NewName ('{0}_{1}.jpg' -f $dir, $nr++ )
}
}
}
