I try to automate my workflow on my day-to-day job. Since Excel is frequently used. Using PowerShell for Excel automation is crucial for me.

Most of the time I do have my Excel windows open. Thus I use below code block to capture these windows for further automation:

$FullPath = $FilePath + "" + $WorkBookName 

$excel = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::GetActiveObject("Excel.Application")
#capture already active object
if (($excel.Workbooks | ? $_.Fullname).FullName -eq $FullPath) 
 $wb = $excel.workbooks else 
 # if no document is available open from filepath
 $excel, $wb = Open-NewCliExcel -TypeOrPath $FullPath

I'm pretty sure that there must be more stable and reliable practices in terms of scalability. My plan is to build an intra-company library to start the automation of other people's processes.
