Hi PowerGuyz,
I am very new to this forum and also exploring PS too. Now I used to run Get-process command with memory values in MB format. I don’t want to change the property name, but the value I am expecting in MB. Now the problem is, the output is coming as custom property name. How should I manage the same?
Also please guide me if there is any shortcut to perform the same.
Here is the command:

Get-Process |select id, ProcessName, {$.pm /1mb -as [int]}, {$.vm /1mb -as [int]}, cpu -First 5|ft -AutoSize

Output:
Id ProcessName $.pm /1mb -as [int] $.vm /1mb -as [int] CPU

You want something like this

Get-Process |
select Id, ProcessName, 
@{Name = 'PM(M)'; Expression = {$_.pm /1mb -as [int]}}, 
@{Name = 'VM(M)'; Expression = {$_.vm /1mb -as [int]}}, 
CPU -First 5 |
Format-Table -AutoSize

Dou you mean something like this:

Get-Process |

Select-Object -Property id, ProcessName, @{Name=‘PM’;Expression={$.pm /1mb -as [int]}}, @{Name=‘VM’;Expression={$.vm /1mb -as [int]}}, cpu -First 5 |

Format-Table -AutoSize
?

Hi Richard,

You are right, I want this exact same. But is it mandatory to do write @{Name = ‘PM(M)’; Expression = {$_.pm /1mb -as [int]}} each time I need some conversation of MB/GB from small units? Is there any tricky way to perform that.

Regards
Roy.

Yes, it’s mandatory.
