ConvertExcelToImageFile.ps1

Function Convert-XlRangeToImage {
    <#
      .Synopsis
        Gets the specified part of an Excel file and exports it as an image
      .Description
        Excel allows charts to be exported directly to a file, but can't do this with the rest of a sheet. To work round this this function
        * Opens a copy of Excel and loads a file
        * Selects a worksheet and then a range of cells in that worksheet
        * Copies the select to the clipboard
        * Saves the clipboard contents as an image file (it will save as .JPG unless the file name ends .BMP or .PNG)
        * Copies a single cell to the clipboard (to prevent the "you have put a lot in the clipboard" message appearing)
        * Closes Excel
