According to the google searches that I have done so far, I haven’t seen an instance where ‘SaveAs’ method doesn’t exist.

I am trying to open a tab delimited file (.txt), open it in excel and then save it as XLSX

The following is my code

$Excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application $Excel.Visible = $True $ExcelFile = "E:FOLDERSAMPLE.TXT" $Workbook = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($ExcelFile) 

Now to set the xlFixedFormat

#$xlFixedFormat = [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlWorkbookDefaultxlXMLSpreadsheet 

For xls

#$xlFixedFormat = [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlOpenXMLWorkbook 

For xlsx according to

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23047586/Excel-2007-Automation-What-SaveAs-xlFileFormat-value-for-XLSX-XLSM-XLSB-files.html

“XLSX is Excel Microsoft Office Open XML Format Spreadsheet .. So you may use ‘xlXMLSpreadsheet’ for xlFileFormat parameter.”

 $xlFixedFormat = [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat]::xlWorkbookDefault 

For xlsx, according to

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22560483/powershell-script-to-convert-txt-to-xlsx

 $Excel.Save("E:FOLDERSAMPLE.xlsx") 

This line works without any issue, unless the file already exists, but that can be solved easily.

But when I try to run the SaveAs Method,

 $Excel.SaveAs("E:FOLDERSAMPLE.xlsx",$xlFixedFormat) 

I get a error as

Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass] does not contain a method named ‘SaveAs’.

As far as I can tell, I don’t have

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel

Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel (in microsoft.office.tools.excel.dll)

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.tools.excel.workbook.saveas(v=vs.80).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1

How do I download this file? Do I need to download this file?

My PSVersion is:
PSVersion 4.0

My Excel is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010

and Windows 7
