Powershell with excel cmdlet trying to create a graph .

Question
-
Hello,
I have a question that hopefully someone can help me.
I have a xlsx file called tempxlsserverhdrive1.xlsx.
It holds the following data
Date
Free Megabytes
7/11/2017 0:00
46816.56
8/11/2017 0:00
46265.18
9/11/2017 0:00
45085.95
10/11/2017 0:00
46919.88
11/11/2017 0:00
47574.48
Now I am trying to use the powershell cmdlet ImportExcel
But I can not work out how to create a line graphs from this data .
Here is a copy of my code
#import-module sqlps -DisableNameChecking
#Install-Module ImportExcel -Force
#Install-Module -Name SqlServer
# Initialize Hash Table Array
$tempEntry =@()
$sqlquery = @()
#remove any exisiting temp xlsx TO BE MOVE LATER ON TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POWERSHELL !!!
#if file exists then remove...
Remove-Item -Path C:\scripts\tempxlsserverhdrive1.xlsx
#The SQL query will obtain the free MB from D volume.the server in the last 100 days
$sqlquery = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance SQLSERVER.FQDN -inputFile "C:\scripts\Disk-Free-report-100days.sql"
#I only need the date and the amount of free space
$tmpentry = $sqlquery | select date,'free megabytes'
#producing the Xlsx file
$tmpentry | Export-Excel -Path C:\scripts\tempxlsserverhdrive1.xlsx
I am suck. Can someone help me out ?

You will have to create an Excel file that defines a graph and a data area for the graph.
We cannot write that for you.

So I can not use the powershell excel cmdlet to produce a chart from an already established excel document ?

That is right. Import-Excel does not create charts.
Read all of the following to learn how to create charts with PowerShell (plot.ps1).
