Note: This is a recovered post from my old blog. See how we recovered these posts using the Wayback Machine and AI tooling.

Open a Microsoft Excel document using PowerShell. Useful for automating report generation or data processing workflows where you need to open an existing workbook.

$ExcelDoc = "C:\test\test.xlsx"  #document to open
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($ExcelDoc)
