Adding Key and value to JSON using Powershell and Excel - excel

Question

I have an excel file which I'm reading from to populate a Parameter ARM JSON file.
The code I use is
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$data = Get-Content -Path "$path\$jsonfile" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$Row = 2
$col = 2
$data.parameters.client.value = $ws.Cells.Item($Row, $col).Value()
$data.parameters.user.value = $ws.Cells.Item($Row, $col).Offset(1, 0).Value()
$data.parameters.business.value = $ws.Cells.Item($Row, $col).Offset(2, 0).Value()
$data.parameters.dev.value = $ws.Cells.Item($Row, $col).Offset(3, 0).Value()
$data | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 9 | % {
[System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Unescape($_)
} | Set-Content -Path "$newpath\$JSONFile"
I need the business value to be a "key" : "value"
In my excel I have the fields as below
Name Value Key
$client Client1
$user User1
$business Bus-key bus-value
I can't work out how to add the "key" : "value" to the excel and get powershell to read it and populate the parameter sheet.
The Client and user values are strings so work fine.
I was hoping for some direction on where I'm going wrong
Thanks in advance :)

From what I understood from your screenshot, I think this might be of help to you:
$MyJson = '
{
"FortinetTags": {
"value":"6EB3B02F-50E5-4A3E-8CB8-2E129258317D"
}
}' | ConvertFrom-Json
# We will create a hash table containing the required key/value pair
$MyJson.FortinetTags.value = #{'provider' = $MyJson.FortinetTags.value}
$MyJson | ConvertTo-Json
It will update your JSON to this:
{
"FortinetTags": {
"value": {
"provider": "6EB3B02F-50E5-4A3E-8CB8-2E129258317D"
}
}
}
