Hi Edward,
Thanks once again
I have only changed excel file path and after that this is saved as below , i am not sure which three lines should be together in one line. Please advise.
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add("F:\NewDocsToReadNitesh26-May2013\Excel\test.xls")
$WorkSheet = $Workbook.Worksheets.Item(1)
$WorkSheet.Activate() | Out-Null
For ($i=1;$i -le $worksheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count;$i++) {
   If ($worksheet.cells.item($i,1).value2 -eq $worksheet.cells.item($i,2).value2) {
      $worksheet.cells.item($i,3).value2 = $worksheet.cells.item($i,1).value2
}$Workbook.Save()$excel.Quit()[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject([System.__ComObject]$excel) | Out-Null
Thanks and Regards
