Basic questions about using ImportExcel

This should be obvious, but I’m having some issues with the ImportExcel https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel tools and was hoping for some help. I just want to read the values and properites (like hyperlink) of some cells

$workSheet = Import-Excel -Path $EXCELFILE -WorkSheetname "$SHEETNAME" 

How can I just load the contents or properties in a variable? Something like

$A1 = A1.value $A1-URL = A1.hyperlink 

Thanks!
