I was having problems getting Excel to close after saving. I tried a solution I found elsewhere: [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseCOMObject($Excel) But that didn't work, so I kept digging. Your solution worked perfectly. BTW, I found that I didn't have to assign a cell to a variable and use Value2 to put data into it. I'm able to accomplish it just with doing: $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($Row,1) = "Data2010" Saves a couple lines of code, and less variables to Null out before closing.
