$xlShiftDown = -4121

$xlShiftRight = -4161

$Lines14 = $Sheet.Range(“1:4″)

$null = $Range14.insert($xlShiftDown)

will add 4 lines at the top

Change the range to (“1:1″) to and one row

$ColumnsBC = $Sheet.Range(“2:3)

$Null = $ColumnsBC.Insert($xlShiftRight)

If you didn’t need the range anymore you could have said

$Null = $Sheet.Range(1:1).insert(-4121)

and not have anything to cleanup

Hi,

Is there also a powershell cmdlet to insert 1 row at the top of the sheet?

Just wanted to post a quick Thank You! 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.
