> I think it would be even better to have aggregate functions here. Count (as in group-object) and also sum, max, min, avg, etc

We've talked about doing this a number of times but it is not currently on the list of things to do. Please request it.

I think it would be even better to have aggregate functions here. Count (as in group-object) and also sum, max, min, avg, etc.

Are you planning to add something like that in future versions of format-table or group-object or is there another simple way to get these aggregate values in PowerShell?

Cheers

Klaus

Good demo.

It's the little things that really make PS a powerful tool.

It seems to me that PS is so rich and deep that it is goiong to take many, many bloggers to uncover most of it's capabilities.

It's coming. If the world didn't speak so many languages, it would be out by now. :-)

Again - apologizes for the delay in getting you Vista. The team feels horrible about the situation.
