Export Oracle Result to Excel using Powershell - powershell

Question

My desired result from the below PS script is to end up with the result in a CSV or XLS file, which every is the easiest..
I run the below Powershell command, which gives me the desired results - so far so good.
I'm stuck on how to get this information into Excel, so that I can then use this for reporting..
$OracleCommand = "SELECT user_info.directory_auth_id,
user_info.display_name,
chat_account.chat_system_id,
chat_account.login_id,
chat_account.account_id,
chat_account.is_deleted,
chat_system.server_address"
$OracleCommand += " FROM user_info"
$OracleCommand += " INNER JOIN chat_account ON chat_account.user_id = user_info.entity_id"
$OracleCommand += " INNER JOIN chat_system ON chat_system.system_id = chat_account.chat_system_id"
$OracleCommand += " WHERE user_info.directory_auth_id ="
$OracleCommand += "'" + $User + "'"
Invoke-OracleCommand -OracleConnectionString (Get-Content 'ConnectionString.txt') `
-QueryString $OracleCommand |
Do I need to loop through the results and export to csv....
Thanks,

I'd go ahead and export to CSV as that makes the rest of the process easier. This code will let you import the CSV:
$csv = "C:\myData.csv"
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $Show
$wbObj = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$dataSheet = $wbObj.Worksheets.Item(1)
$qryConn = ("TEXT;" + $csv)
$qryDest = $dataSheet.Range("A1")
$conn = $dataSheet.QueryTables.Add($qryConn,$qryDest)
$dataSheet.QueryTables.item($conn.name).TextFileCommaDelimiter = $true
$dataSheet.QueryTables.item($conn.name).TextFileParseType = 1
[void]$dataSheet.QueryTables.item($conn.name).Refresh()
