Syntax

Get-SPExcelBlockedFileType [[-Identity] <SPExcelBlockedFileTypePipeBind>] -ExcelServiceApplication <SPExcelServiceApplicationPipeBind> [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>]

Detailed Description

The Get-SPExcelBlockedFileType cmdlet reads a file type or a list of file types that cannot be loaded in Excel Services Application. Excel Services Application does not load any files that correspond to a file type in this list.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.Cmdlet.SPExcelBlockedFileTypePipeBind

Specifies the BlockedFileType object to return. If the Identity parameter is not specified, this cmdlet returns the list of file extensions that are currently prevented from loading on Excel Services Application.

The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of a file type (for example, FileType1); one of the following file types: XLSX, XLSB, XLSM; or an instance of a valid SPExcelBlockedFileType object.

ExcelServiceApplication

Yes

Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.Cmdlet.SPExcelServiceApplicationPipeBind

Specifies the Excel Services Application Web service application that contains the SPBlockedExcelFileType list object.

The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of an Excel Services Application Web service application in the farm (for example, MyExcelService1); or an instance of a valid SPExcelServiceApplication object.

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
