CData Cmdlets for Microsoft Excel

Overview

The CData Cmdlets PowerShell Module for Microsoft Excel allows developers to write PowerShell scripts with connectivity to Microsoft Excel. The cmdlets abstract the underlying data source into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update data. The representation of Microsoft Excel as a relational database gives the cmdlets a uniform interface and also enables you to execute SQL to Microsoft Excel.

Key Features

• Real-time access to Microsoft Excel data in Windows PowerShell, with comprehensive support for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
• Pipe row objects directly from Microsoft Excel into other cmdlets as input.
• Streamlined installation via the Powershell Gallery.
