        .SYNOPSIS
            Export data to an Excel worksheet.
        .DESCRIPTION
            Export data to an Excel file and where possible try to convert numbers so Excel recognizes them as numbers instead of text. After all. Excel is a spreadsheet program used for number manipulation and calculations. In case the number conversion is not desired, use the parameter '-NoNumberConversion *'.
        .PARAMETER Path
            Path to a new or existing .XLSX file.
        .PARAMETER  ExcelPackage
            An object representing an Excel Package - usually this is returned by specifying -Passthru allowing multiple commands to work on the same Workbook without saving and reloading each time.
        .PARAMETER WorksheetName
            The name of a sheet within the workbook - "Sheet1" by default.
        .PARAMETER ClearSheet
            If specified Export-Excel will remove any existing worksheet with the selected name. The Default behaviour is to overwrite cells in this sheet as needed (but leaving non-overwritten ones in place).
        .PARAMETER Append
            If specified data will be added to the end of an existing sheet, using the same column headings.
        .PARAMETER TargetData
            Data to insert onto the worksheet - this is often provided from the pipeline.
        .PARAMETER DisplayPropertySet
            Many (but not all) objects have a hidden property named psStandardmembers with a child property DefaultDisplayPropertySet ; this parameter reduces the properties exported to those in this set.
        .PARAMETER NoAliasOrScriptPropeties
            Some objects duplicate existing properties by adding aliases, or have Script properties which take a long time to return a value and slow the export down, if specified this removes these properties
        .PARAMETER ExcludeProperty
            Specifies properties which may exist in the target data but should not be placed on the worksheet.
        .PARAMETER Calculate
            If specified a recalculation of the worksheet will be requested before saving.
        .PARAMETER Title
            Text of a title to be placed in the top left cell.
        .PARAMETER TitleBold
            Sets the title in boldface type.
        .PARAMETER TitleSize
            Sets the point size for the title.
        .PARAMETER TitleBackgroundColor
            Sets the cell background color for the title cell.
        .PARAMETER TitleFillPattern
            Sets the fill pattern for the title cell.
        .PARAMETER Password
            Sets password protection on the workbook.
        .PARAMETER IncludePivotTable
            Adds a Pivot table using the data in the worksheet.
        .PARAMETER PivotTableName
            If a Pivot table is created from command line parameters, specifies the name of the new sheet holding the pivot. Defaults to "WorksheetName-PivotTable"
        .PARAMETER PivotRows
            Name(s) columns from the spreadsheet which will provide the Row name(s) in a pivot table created from command line parameters.
        .PARAMETER PivotColumns
            Name(s) columns from the spreadsheet which will provide the Column name(s) in a pivot table created from command line parameters.
        .PARAMETER PivotFilter
            Name(s) columns from the spreadsheet which will provide the Filter name(s) in a pivot table created from command line parameters.
        .PARAMETER PivotData
            In a pivot table created from command line parameters, the fields to use in the table body are given as a Hash table in the form ColumnName = Average|Count|CountNums|Max|Min|Product|None|StdDev|StdDevP|Sum|Var|VarP.
        .PARAMETER PivotDataToColumn
            If there are multiple datasets in a PivotTable, by default they are shown as separate rows under the given row heading; this switch makes them separate columns.
        .PARAMETER NoTotalsInPivot
            In a pivot table created from command line parameters, prevents the addition of totals to rows and columns.
        .PARAMETER PivotTotals
            By default, Pivot tables have totals for each Row (on the right) and for each column at the bottom. This allows just one or neither to be selected.
        .PARAMETER PivotTableDefinition
            Instead of describing a single pivot table with multiple commandline parameters; you can use a hashTable in the form PivotTableName = Definition;
            Definition is itself a hashtable with Sheet, PivotRows, PivotColumns, PivotData, IncludePivotChart and ChartType values.
        .PARAMETER IncludePivotChart
            Include a chart with the Pivot table - implies -IncludePivotTable.
        .PARAMETER ChartType

            One or more conditional formatting rules defined with New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet.
        .PARAMETER ConditionalText
            Applies a Conditional formatting rule defined with New-ConditionalText. When specific conditions are met the format is applied.
        .PARAMETER NoNumberConversion
            By default we convert all values to numbers if possible, but this isn't always desirable. NoNumberConversion allows you to add exceptions for the conversion. Wildcards (like '*') are allowed.
        .PARAMETER BoldTopRow
            Makes the top Row boldface.
        .PARAMETER NoHeader
            Does not put field names at the top of columns.
        .PARAMETER RangeName
            Makes the data in the worksheet a named range.
        .PARAMETER TableName
            Makes the data in the worksheet a table with a name applies a style to it. Name must not contain spaces.
        .PARAMETER TableStyle
            Selects the style for the named table - defaults to 'Medium6'.

        .PARAMETER HideSheet
            Name(s) of Sheet(s) to hide in the workbook, supports wildcards. If all sheets would be hidden, the sheet being worked on will be revealed.
        .PARAMETER UnHideSheet
            Name(s) of Sheet(s) to Reveal in the workbook, supports wildcards.
        .PARAMETER MoveToStart
            If specified, the worksheet will be moved to the start of the workbook.
            -MoveToStart takes precedence over -MoveToEnd, -Movebefore and -MoveAfter if more than one is specified.
        .PARAMETER MoveToEnd
            If specified, the worksheet will be moved to the end of the workbook.
            (This is the default position for newly created sheets, but this can be used to move existing sheets.)
        .PARAMETER MoveBefore
            If specified, the worksheet will be moved before the nominated one (which can be a position starting from 1, or a name).
            -MoveBefore takes precedence over -MoveAfter if both are specified.
        .PARAMETER MoveAfter
            If specified, the worksheet will be moved after the nominated one (which can be a position starting from 1, or a name or *).
            If * is used, the worksheet names will be examined starting with the first one, and the sheet placed after the last sheet which comes before it alphabetically.
        .PARAMETER KillExcel
            Closes Excel - prevents errors writing to the file because Excel has it open.
        .PARAMETER AutoNameRange
            Makes each column a named range.
        .PARAMETER StartRow

        .PARAMETER Activate
            If there is already content in the workbook, a new sheet will not be active UNLESS Activate is specified; if a Pivot table is included it will be the active sheet
        .PARAMETER Now
            The 'Now' switch is a shortcut that creates automatically a temporary file, enables 'AutoSize', 'AutoFiler' and 'Show', and opens the file immediately.
        .PARAMETER NumberFormat
            Formats all values that can be converted to a number to the format specified.

            Examples:

        .PARAMETER ReZip
            If specified, Export-Excel will expand the contents of the .XLSX file (which is multiple files in a zip archive) and rebuilt it.
        .PARAMETER NoClobber
            Not used. Left in to avoid problems with older scripts, it may be removed in future versions.
        .PARAMETER CellStyleSB
            A script block which is run at the end of the export to apply styles to cells (although it can be used for other purposes).
            The script block is given three paramaters; an object containing the current worksheet, the Total number of Rows and the number of the last column.
        .PARAMETER Show
            Opens the Excel file immediately after creation. Convenient for viewing the results instantly without having to search for the file first.
        .PARAMETER ReturnRange
            If specified, Export-Excel returns the range of added cells in the format "A1:Z100"
        .PARAMETER PassThru
            If specified, Export-Excel returns an object representing the Excel package without saving the package first.
            To save, you need to call Close-ExcelPackage or send the object back to Export-Excel, or use its .Save() or SaveAs() method.
        .EXAMPLE
            Get-Process | Export-Excel .\Test.xlsx -show
            Export all the processes to the Excel file 'Test.xlsx' and open the file immediately.

        .EXAMPLE

            $excel.Workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"].Row(1).style.font.bold = $true

            Start-Process .\test.xlsx

            This example uses -passthrough. It puts service information into sheet1 of the workbook and saves the ExcelPackageObject in $Excel.
            It then uses the package object to apply formatting, and then saves the workbook and disposes of the object before loading the document in Excel.

        .EXAMPLE
        >
        PS> Remove-Item -Path .\test.xlsx -ErrorAction Ignore
            $excel = Get-Process | Select-Object -Property Name,Company,Handles,CPU,PM,NPM,WS | Export-Excel -Path .\test.xlsx -ClearSheet -WorksheetName "Processes" -PassThru
            $sheet = $excel.Workbook.Worksheets["Processes"]
            $sheet.Column(1) | Set-ExcelRange -Bold -AutoFit
            $sheet.Column(2) | Set-ExcelRange -Width 29 -WrapText
            $sheet.Column(3) | Set-ExcelRange -HorizontalAlignment Right -NFormat "#,###"
            Set-ExcelRange -Address $sheet.Cells["E1:H1048576"]  -HorizontalAlignment Right -NFormat "#,###"
            Set-ExcelRange -Address $sheet.Column(4)  -HorizontalAlignment Right -NFormat "#,##0.0" -Bold
            Set-ExcelRange -Address $sheet.Row(1) -Bold -HorizontalAlignment Center
            Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $sheet -Range "D2:D1048576" -DataBarColor Red
            Add-ConditionalFormatting -WorkSheet $sheet -Range "G2:G1048576" -RuleType GreaterThan -ConditionValue "104857600" -ForeGroundColor Red
            foreach ($c in 5..9) {Set-ExcelRange -Address $sheet.Column($c)  -AutoFit }
            Export-Excel -ExcelPackage $excel -WorksheetName "Processes" -IncludePivotChart -ChartType ColumnClustered -NoLegend -PivotRows company  -PivotData @{'Name'='Count'}  -Show

            This a more sophisticated version of the previous example showing different ways of using Set-ExcelRange, and also adding conditional formatting.
            In the final command a Pivot chart is added and the workbook is opened in Excel.
        .EXAMPLE
             0..360 | ForEach-Object {[pscustomobject][ordered]@{X=$_; Sinx="=Sin(Radians(x)) "} } | Export-Excel -now -LineChart -AutoNameRange

             Creates a line chart showing the value of Sine(x) for values of X between 0 and 360 degrees.

              .SYNOPSIS
                Save a value in an Excel cell.

              .DESCRIPTION
                DateTime objects are always converted to a short DateTime format in Excel. When Excel loads the file,
                it applies the local format for dates. And formulas are always saved as formulas. URIs are set as hyperlinks in the file.

                Numerical values will be converted to numbers as defined in the regional settings of the local
                system. In case the parameter 'NoNumberConversion' is used, we don't convert to number and leave
                the value 'as is'. In case of conversion failure, we also leave the value 'as is'.

function Add-WorkSheet  {
    <#
      .Synopsis
        Adds a workshet to an existing workbook.
      .Description
        If the named worksheet already exists, the -Clearsheet parameter decides whether it should be deleted and a new one returned,
        or if not specified the existing sheet will be returned. By default the sheet is created at the end of the work book, the
        -MoveXXXX switches allow the sheet to be [re]positioned at the start or before or after another sheet. A new sheet will only be
        made the default sheet when excel opens if -Activate is specified.
      .Example
        $WorksheetActors = $ExcelPackage | Add-WorkSheet -WorkSheetname Actors

        $ExcelPackage holds an Excel package object (returned by Open-ExcelPackage, or Export-Excel -passthru).
        This command will add a sheet named 'Actors', or return the sheet if it exists, and the result is stored in $WorkSheetActors.
      .Example
        $WorksheetActors = Add-WorkSheet -ExcelPackage $ExcelPackage -WorkSheetname "Actors" -ClearSheet -MoveToStart

        This time the Excel package object is passed as a parameter instead of piped. If the 'Actors' sheet already exists it is deleted
        and  re-created. The new sheet will be created last in the workbook, and -MoveToStart Moves it to the start.
      .Example
        $null = Add-WorkSheet -ExcelWorkbook $wb -WorkSheetname $DestinationName -CopySource  $sourceWs -Activate
        This time a workbook is used instead of a package, and a worksheet is copied - $SourceWs is a worksheet object, which can come
        from the same workbook or a different one. Here the new copy of the data is made the active sheet when the workbook is opened.
