Detailed Description

The Remove-SPExcelBlockedExcelFileType cmdlet removes an entry from the list of file types that are prevented from loading on an Excel Services Application Web service application. Excel Services Application does not load any file types that correspond to a file type that is on this list.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.Cmdlet.SPExcelBlockedFileTypePipeBind

Specifies the file type to remove from the list of blocked file types.

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

ExcelServiceApplication

Required

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.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters
