I am not much of a powershell user, but should this line$Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheetsinclude the worksheet name? Such as$Worksheets = $Workbooks.worksheets("Sheet1")for example

In addition to @K.Dᴀᴠɪs hints you are switching between singular and plural$Workbook<>$Workbooks, so use$Worksheets = $Workbook.worksheets(1)or$Worksheets = $Workbook.worksheets('sheet1')but also here the singular$Worksheetmakes more sense.

$Workbook <> $Workbooks, so use $Worksheets = $Workbook.worksheets(1) or $Worksheets = $Workbook.worksheets('sheet1') but also here the singular $Worksheet makes more sense.– LotPings
