Powershell: How do I update my code to use a different file type?
![](https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/7a17afb3-71f4-4ef1-a5ce-d2975ba46c88.png)
It does have to be a Word template. It has a bar graph and various texts.
Sorry I'm new to this. What exactly do I enter into Powershell for each step?
So I'm new to all this. When I enter the first command with my csv file and doc file included, it just opens the word doc. Wasn't sure what I should do next.
I got it now!
Hey this worked for me yesterday but now I'm having trouble getting it to work again. It just outputs a Word doc titled '.docx' now.
Ah, I think that was it. Forgot about the column heading. Thanks for your help!
By the way, what would be the equivalent code when using a text file for the list of names rather than a csv file?
It's just a Notepad text file.
Oh I see. I thought only .txt files are text files.
I was trying to adjust the code so that it uses a .txt file instead of a .csv file.
Just words? It's a list of names.
Thanks for your help, but I had a couple errors pop up when I tried this out. I don't need to input anything in the code you provided, do I?
Cannot convert value "VALUE" to type "System.Int32". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format."

Actually nevermind that question. Just realized the command was split.
I'm assuming I need to replace the name portion of the 2nd line. What do I input if the data is a list that starts in A1?
Nevermind I got it!
