I want to store the output of:
$Application = Get-EventLog -LogName Application | Where-Object {($_.EntryType -like 'Error' -or $_.EntryType -like 'Warning')};
in an excel spreadsheet.
I tried doing : $Application | Out-File E:\app.csv;
I'm getting the output as:
As you can see the columns are not separately aligned in the excel spreadsheet and also the column values/content are incomplete and end with (...).
I want to properly store the complete values that each column holds in the excel spreadsheet.
As already mentioned in the comment, you are looking for Export-Csv cmdlet which Converts objects into a series of comma-separated (CSV) strings and saves the strings in a CSV file. You can do something like this -
$Application = Get-EventLog -LogName Application | Where-Object {($_.EntryType -like 'Error' -or $_.EntryType -like 'Warning')};
$Application | Export-Csv -path E:\app.csv -NoTypeInformation
The next step to your problem would be converting the csv file into excel file since you need data stored in an excel spreadsheet. Below is the code which I have been using successfully for quite some time.
#Define locations and delimiter
$csv = "E:\app.csv" #Location of the source file
$xlsx = "E:\app.xlsx" #Desired location of output
$delimiter = ";" #Specify the delimiter used in the file
# Create a new Excel workbook with one empty sheet
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add(1)
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.Item(1)
# Build the QueryTables.Add command and reformat the data
$TxtConnector = ("TEXT;" + $csv)
$Connector = $worksheet.QueryTables.add($TxtConnector,$worksheet.Range("A1"))
$query = $worksheet.QueryTables.item($Connector.name)
$query.TextFileOtherDelimiter = $delimiter
$query.TextFileParseType = 1
$query.TextFileColumnDataTypes = ,1 * $worksheet.Cells.Columns.Count
$query.AdjustColumnWidth = 1
# Execute & delete the import query
$query.Refresh()
$query.Delete()
# Save & close the Workbook as XLSX.
$Workbook.SaveAs($xlsx,51)
$excel.Quit()
The above code will convert the csv file to an XLSX file. You can see this for more information.
You can export to csv with a -Delimiter "#seperator" to seperate columns in excel
it could look like this
$Application | Export-Csv C:\test.csv -Delimiter ";"
Afternoon all,
Is it possible to save a CSV file using Powershell with a different delimiter, in my case "§". I am using the following script to open and change items in an XLSX file and then wish to save as a "§" delimited CSV. The find and replace method does not work in my case ( (Get-Content -Path $CSVfile).Replace(',','§') | Set-Content -Path $CSVfile2)
$Path = "C:\ScriptRepository\CQC\DataToLoad\"
$FileName = (Get-ChildItem $path).FullName
$FileName2 = (Get-ChildItem $path).Name
$CSVFile = "$Path\$Filename2.csv"
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application -Property #{Visible =
$false}
$Excel.displayalerts=$False
$Workbook = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($FileName)
$WorkSheet = $WorkBook.Sheets.Item(2)
$Worksheet.Activate()
$worksheet.columns.item('G').NumberFormat ="m/d/yyyy"
$Worksheet.Cells.Item(1,3).Value = "Site ID"
$Worksheet.Cells.Item(1,4).Value = "Site Name"
$Worksheet.SaveAs($CSVFile,
[Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlCSVWindows)
$workbook.Save()
$workbook.Close()
$Excel.Quit()
Running the following command, will let you save the CSV file using the delimiter §
Import-CSV filename.csv | ConvertTo-CSV -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter "§" | Out-File output_filename.csv
You should check out ImportExcel - PowerShell module to import/export Excel spreadsheets, without Excel. It makes working with excel files easier using powershell.
I know this is an older post but here is an option I recently came across:
Just update the e:\projects\dss\pse&g.xlsxwith the source location and file as well as the file.csv with the location and file name. Lastly your Worksheet if it is named differently [Sheet1$].
$oleDbConn = New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
$oleDbCmd = New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
$oleDbAdapter = New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
$dataTable = New-Object System.Data.DataTable
$oleDbConn.ConnectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data
Source=e:\projects\dss\pse&g.xlsx;Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;Persist Security Info=False"
$oleDbConn.Open()
$oleDbCmd.Connection = $OleDbConn
$oleDbCmd.commandtext = “Select * from [Sheet1$]”
$oleDbAdapter.SelectCommand = $OleDbCmd
$ret=$oleDbAdapter.Fill($dataTable)
Write-Host "Rows returned:$ret" -ForegroundColor green
$dataTable | Export-Csv file.csv -Delimiter ';'
$oleDbConn.Close()
Source
I was using SaveAs(file.csv,6) but couldn't change the delimiter. Also Ishan's resolution works but I wanted something more OOB as this is going to be used within an SSIS package for myself across different systems and this just works. =)
I have a folder of CSV files that contain log entries. For each entry of the CSV, if the Risk property is not Low and not None then I put it in an accumulation CSV object. From there, I want to import it into an Excel Workbook directly WITHOUT having to save the CSV to file.
$CSVPaths = (Split-Path $PSCommandPath)
$AccumulateExportPath = (Split-Path $PSCommandPath)
$FileName="Accumulate"
$Acc=#()
Foreach ($csv in (Get-ChildItem C:\Scripts\Nessus\Sheets |? {$_.Extension -like ".csv" -and $_.BaseName -notlike "$FileName"}))
{
$Content = Import-CSV $csv.FullName
Foreach ($Log in $Content)
{
If ($Log.Risk -ne "None" -and $Log.Risk -ne "Low")
{
$Acc+=$Log
}
}
}
$CSV = $ACC |ConvertTo-CSV -NoTypeInformation
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
$Script:Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.Visible=$True
#$Excel.Workbooks.OpenText($CSV) What should replace this?
Is there a Method like OpenText() that lets me pass a CSV object instead of a filepath to a CSV file or am I going to have to write my own conversion function?
Interesting question. I'm not aware of a method that allows you to pass a CSV Object.
However, if your result CSV is not too big and you are using PowerShell 5.0+ you could convert the object to a string and leverage Set-Clipboard (more info)
$headers = ($csv | Get-Member | Where-Object {$_.MemberType -eq "NoteProperty"}).Name
$delim = "`t"
# headers
foreach($header in $headers){
$myString += $header + $delim
}
# trim delimiter at the end, and add new line
$myString = $myString.TrimEnd($delim)
$myString = $myString + "`n"
# loop over each line and repeat
foreach($line in $csv){
foreach($header in $headers){
$myString += $line.$header + $delim
}
$myString = $myString.TrimEnd($delim)
$myString = $myString + "`n"
}
# copy to clipboard
Set-Clipboard $myString
# paste into excel from clipboard
$Excel.Workbooks.Worksheets.Item(1).Paste()
Here is another way to create an Excel spreadsheet from PowerShell without writing a .csv file.
$dirs = 'C:\src\t', 'C:\src\sql'
$records = $()
$records = foreach ($dir in $dirs) {
Get-ChildItem -Path $dir -File '*.txt' -Recurse |
Select-Object #{Expression={$_.FullName}; Label="filename"}
}
#open excel
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$excel.visible = $false
#add a default workbook
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
#remove worksheet 2 & 3
$workbook.Worksheets.Item(3).Delete()
$workbook.Worksheets.Item(2).Delete()
#give the remaining worksheet a name
$uregwksht = $workbook.Worksheets.Item(1)
$uregwksht.Name = 'File Names'
# Start on row 1
$i = 1
# the .appendix to $record refers to the column header in the csv file
foreach ($record in $records) {
$excel.cells.item($i,1) = $record.filename
$i++
}
#adjusting the column width so all data's properly visible
$usedRange = $uregwksht.UsedRange
$usedRange.EntireColumn.AutoFit() | Out-Null
#saving & closing the file
$outputpath = Join-Path -Path $Env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath "desktop\exceltest.xlsx"
$workbook.SaveAs($outputpath)
$excel.Quit()
I use this code (found somewhere) to convert csv to xls. It works perfectly when there is no national characters.
When I am trying to convert csv file with encoding ISO 2859-2 I have some text errors. Any idea how to deal with this character set in this script?
### Set input and output path
$inputCSV = "C:\tmp\test.CSV"
$outputXLSX = "C:\tmp\test.xls"
### Create a new Excel Workbook with one empty sheet which name is the file
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add(1)
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.Item(1)
$worksheet.name = "$((GCI $inputCSV).basename)"
### Build the QueryTables.Add command
### QueryTables does the same as when clicking "Data » From Text" in Excel
$TxtConnector = ("TEXT;" + $inputCSV)
$Connector = $worksheet.QueryTables.add($TxtConnector,$worksheet.Range("A1"))
$query = $worksheet.QueryTables.item($Connector.name)
### Set the delimiter ( , or ; ) according to your regional settings
$query.TextFileOtherDelimiter = $Excel.Application.International(5)
### Set the format to delimited and text for every column
### A trick to create an array of 2s is used with the preceding comma
### this options don't seems necessary
$query.TextFileParseType = 1
$query.TextFileColumnDataTypes = ,2 * $worksheet.Cells.Columns.Count
### change decimal separator as "." (can be ",")
$query.TextFileDecimalSeparator = "."
$query.AdjustColumnWidth = 1
### Execute & delete the import query
# using my_output avoid having an outuput that display true
$my_output = $query.Refresh()
$query.Delete()
### Save & close the Workbook as XLS.
$Workbook.SaveAs($outputXLSX,56)
$excel.Quit()
To my knowledge there is no way to do that in Excel. This is workaround, exporting to UnicodeText which is basically TAB delimited csv.
Export-ExcelCSV.ps1
param(
[string] $Path
)
if (!(Test-Path $Path)) { throw Path not found: $Path }
$Path = Resolve-Path $Path
$excel = New-Object -COM "Excel.Application"
if (!($excel)) {throw "Can not create Excel COM object" }
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Open($Path)
$worksheets = $workbook.Worksheets
$base_name = $path -replace '.xlsx$'
$worksheets | % {
$sheet = $_
$csv_name = $base_name + '_' + $sheet.name + '.csv'
if (Test-Path $csv_name) { rm $csv_name }
$sheet.SaveAs($csv_name, [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlUnicodeText) ; # xlCSVWindows, xlCSV, xlUnicodeText
}
$workbook.Saved = $true
$workbook.close()
$excel.quit()
#[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($workbook) > $null
#[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($excel) > $null
ps excel | kill #for some reason Excel stays, this will also kill any other running excels not related to this script.
ls *.csv | % { (Get-Content $_) -replace '\t',',' | Set-Content $_ -Encoding utf8 }
I'm trying to export a complete CSV to Excel by using Powershell. I stuck at a point where static column names are used. But this doesn't work if my CSV has generic unknown header names.
Steps to reproduce
Open your PowerShell ISE and copy & paste the following standalone code. Run it with F5
"C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell_ise.exe"
Get-Process | Export-Csv -Path $env:temp\process.csv -NoTypeInformation
$processes = Import-Csv -Path $env:temp\process.csv
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$workbook = $Excel.workbooks.add()
$i = 1
foreach($process in $processes)
{
$excel.cells.item($i,1) = $process.name
$excel.cells.item($i,2) = $process.vm
$i++
}
Remove-Item $env:temp\process.csv
$Excel.visible = $true
What it does
The script will export a list of all active processes as a CSV to your temp folder. This file is only for our example. It could be any CSV with any data
It reads in the newly created CSV and saves it under the $processes variable
It creates a new and empty Excel workbook where we can write data
It iterates through all rows (?) and writes all values from the name and vm column to Excel
My questions
What if I don't know the column headers? (In our example name and vm). How do I address values where I don't know their header names?
How do I count how many columns a CSV has? (after reading it with Import-Csv)
I just want to write an entire CSV to Excel with Powershell
Ups, I entirely forgot this question. In the meantime I got a solution.
This Powershell script converts a CSV to XLSX in the background
Gimmicks are
Preserves all CSV values as plain text like =B1+B2 or 0000001.
You don't see #Name or anything like that. No autoformating is done.
Automatically chooses the right delimiter (comma or semicolon) according to your regional setting
Autofit columns
PowerShell Code
### Set input and output path
$inputCSV = "C:\somefolder\input.csv"
$outputXLSX = "C:\somefolder\output.xlsx"
### Create a new Excel Workbook with one empty sheet
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add(1)
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.Item(1)
### Build the QueryTables.Add command
### QueryTables does the same as when clicking "Data » From Text" in Excel
$TxtConnector = ("TEXT;" + $inputCSV)
$Connector = $worksheet.QueryTables.add($TxtConnector,$worksheet.Range("A1"))
$query = $worksheet.QueryTables.item($Connector.name)
### Set the delimiter (, or ;) according to your regional settings
$query.TextFileOtherDelimiter = $Excel.Application.International(5)
### Set the format to delimited and text for every column
### A trick to create an array of 2s is used with the preceding comma
$query.TextFileParseType = 1
$query.TextFileColumnDataTypes = ,2 * $worksheet.Cells.Columns.Count
$query.AdjustColumnWidth = 1
### Execute & delete the import query

$query.Delete()
### Save & close the Workbook as XLSX. Change the output extension for Excel 2003
$Workbook.SaveAs($outputXLSX,51)
$excel.Quit()
I am using excelcnv.exe to convert csv into xlsx and that seemed to work properly.
You will have to change the directory to where your excelcnv is. If 32 bit, it goes to Program Files (x86)
Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\excelcnv.exe' -ArgumentList "-nme -oice ""$xlsFilePath"" ""$xlsToxlsxPath"""
This topic really helped me, so I'd like to share my improvements.
All credits go to the nixda, this is based on his answer.
For those who need to convert multiple csv's in a folder, just modify the directory. Outputfilenames will be identical to input, just with another extension.
Take care of the cleanup in the end, if you like to keep the original csv's you might not want to remove these.
Can be easily modifed to save the xlsx in another directory.
$workingdir = "C:\data\*.csv"
$csv = dir -path $workingdir
foreach($inputCSV in $csv){
$outputXLSX = $inputCSV.DirectoryName + "\" + $inputCSV.Basename + ".xlsx"
### Create a new Excel Workbook with one empty sheet
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$excel.DisplayAlerts = $False
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add(1)
$worksheet = $workbook.worksheets.Item(1)
### Build the QueryTables.Add command
### QueryTables does the same as when clicking "Data » From Text" in Excel
$TxtConnector = ("TEXT;" + $inputCSV)
$Connector = $worksheet.QueryTables.add($TxtConnector,$worksheet.Range("A1"))
$query = $worksheet.QueryTables.item($Connector.name)
### Set the delimiter (, or ;) according to your regional settings
### $Excel.Application.International(3) = ,
### $Excel.Application.International(5) = ;
$query.TextFileOtherDelimiter = $Excel.Application.International(5)
### Set the format to delimited and text for every column
### A trick to create an array of 2s is used with the preceding comma
$query.TextFileParseType = 1
$query.TextFileColumnDataTypes = ,2 * $worksheet.Cells.Columns.Count
$query.AdjustColumnWidth = 1
### Execute & delete the import query
$query.Refresh()
$query.Delete()
### Save & close the Workbook as XLSX. Change the output extension for Excel 2003
$Workbook.SaveAs($outputXLSX,51)
$excel.Quit()
}
## To exclude an item, use the '-exclude' parameter (wildcards if needed)
remove-item -path $workingdir -exclude *Crab4dq.csv
Why would you bother? Load your CSV into Excel like this:
$csv = Join-Path $env:TEMP "process.csv"
$xls = Join-Path $env:TEMP "process.xlsx"
$xl = New-Object -COM "Excel.Application"
$xl.Visible = $true
$wb = $xl.Workbooks.OpenText($csv)
$wb.SaveAs($xls, 51)
You just need to make sure that the CSV export uses the delimiter defined in your regional settings. Override with -Delimiter if need be.
Edit: A more general solution that should preserve the values from the CSV as plain text. Code for iterating over the CSV columns taken from here.
$csv = Join-Path $env:TEMP "input.csv"
$xls = Join-Path $env:TEMP "output.xlsx"
$xl = New-Object -COM "Excel.Application"
$xl.Visible = $true
$wb = $xl.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Sheets.Item(1)
$ws.Cells.NumberFormat = "#"
$i = 1
Import-Csv $csv | ForEach-Object {
$j = 1
foreach ($prop in $_.PSObject.Properties) {
if ($i -eq 1) {
$ws.Cells.Item($i, $j++).Value = $prop.Name
} else {
$ws.Cells.Item($i, $j++).Value = $prop.Value
}
}
$i++
}
$wb.SaveAs($xls, 51)
$wb.Close()
$xl.Quit()
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($xl)
Obviously this second approach won't perform too well, because it's processing each cell individually.
If you want to convert CSV to Excel without Excel being installed, you can use the great .NET library EPPlus (under LGPL license) to create and modify Excel Sheets and also convert CSV to Excel really fast!

I had some problem getting the other examples to work.
EPPlus and other libraries produces OpenDocument Xml format, which is not the same as you get when you save from Excel as xlsx.
macks example with open CSV and just re-saving didn't work, I never managed to get the ',' delimiter to be used correctly.
Ansgar Wiechers example has some slight error which I found the answer for in the commencts.
Anyway, this is a complete working example. Save this in a File CsvToExcel.ps1
