Generate a report using Sitecore Powershell script and download in excel

To generate a report using Sitecore PowerShell script and download it in Excel format, you can follow the steps below:

• Make sure you have Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE) module installed on your Sitecore instance.
• SPE provides cmdlets for managing Sitecore content and generating reports using PowerShell scripts.

This is a basic example of how the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions-powered PowerShell script can seem to create a basic report and export it to Excel:

Import-Function -Name ConvertTo-Xlsx
[byte[]] $getdata = Get-ItemReferrer -Path "/sitecore/templates/Project/Article" | Select-Object -Property Name,Id,ItemPath,Language,TemplateName | ConvertTo-Xlsx
Out-Download -Name SitecoreReport.xlsx -InputObject $getdata        

Invoke the script above and download it in Excel file.

To create the reports, we may run the PowerShell script in the Sitecore PowerShell Console or schedule it to run at certain intervals.

In this script above:

1. Importing the function ConvertTo-Xlsx
2. We are fetching reference item of the template using the path(Get-ItemReferrer) in Sitecore and selecting specific properties (Name, Id, ItemPath, Language, TemplateName).
3. Download the file as excel using Out-Download and specificy the name of excel and the input to excel (InputObject).

Similary, we can add conditions to the script to generate the report as shown below:

Import-Function -Name ConvertTo-Xlsx
[byte[]] $getdata = Get-ItemReferrer -Path "/sitecore/templates/Project/Article" | Where-Object { $_.ItemPath.Contains("/sitecore/content/Sample/Home/AA/") } | Select-Object -Property Name,Id,ItemPath,Language,TemplateName | ConvertTo-Xlsx
Out-Download -Name SitecoreReport.xlsx -InputObject $getdata        

• Adding where contidtion (Where-Object) to filter specific records as needed.Generated report is show below:

Make necessary adjustments to the script so that it queries the data you need for your report and formats it to meet your unique reporting requirements.

Cheers to learning and sharing!
