A PowerShell module wraps the EPPlus DLL wrapper to read and write .xlsx files without needing Excel, and it records about 200,000+ downloads. Version 6 gains roughly a 10x export speed improvement by reducing per-cell function overhead. It creates pivot tables and charts, applies conditional formatting, diffs and merges spreadsheets, runs in Cloud Shell/PowerShell Core with a small casing hiccup, and is used to audit DSC/Pester results and drive VM builds from spreadsheets.
