Powershell 3.0 compatibility fix

[headsphere]

Fixed issue #44 with conditional formatting code that was breaking in Powershell 3

[headsphere]

Sorry, I haven't been able to run any of the unit tests. Please let me know if there are any problems with this!

Bummer, the ConditionalText change works like a charm. The ConditionalFormattingIconSet throws an error and no useful info. I need to dig deeper

# Test conditional text and format

$file="C:\Temp\TestChanges.xlsx"

rm $file -ErrorAction Ignore

$data = $(
    New-PSItem 1 2 3 
    New-PSItem 4 5 6 
    #New-PSItem a b c
    New-PSItem 1 2 3 
    New-PSItem 4 5 6 
)

#$ct = New-ConditionalText b
#$data | Export-Excel $file -show -ConditionalText $ct

$cf =  New-ConditionalFormattingIconSet -Range "B:B" -ConditionalFormat ThreeIconSet -IconType Arrows
$data | Export-Excel $file -show -ConditionalFormat $cf

For the ConditionalFormat, I believe it should be $format.Range, that solved the error on my side. Please see if it works for you.

Updated from $format.Address to $format.Range

That looks good to me!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Question, I don't have PS v3.0 to run this on. How did this manifest itself? Did the module not load? Did it only cause errors when using the conditional sections? Did it just not produce the right results?

Thanks again

You get the error when loading the module. You don't need to even invoke
any functionality, which I found a bit weird. But that just shows the limit
of my Powershell knowledge!

Thanks! Yes, PowerShell parses the target file(s) and determines what are terminating errors, even before execution. Not for everything, and I don't keep those rules in my head. :-)

This is great. This clears some more hurdles for folks who have tried to use this in v3.0
