PowerShell Pivot Tables Revisited

Posted on September 26, 2015

A few years ago I wrote a PowerShell function to create an Excel-like pivot table in a PowerShell console. The other day I decided to revisit the function. I was surprised that it didn't really need too much updating but I did spend some time updating the documentation and adding one new feature.

Manage and Report Active Directory, Exchange and Microsoft 365 with

The function now allows you to sort your results. This is especially handy when creating a table with Count or Sum values. You can sort on the value or the property name.

I also turned the function into a module, added an alias and published it to my GitHub repository. I hope you'll let me know what you think and especially how you end up using it.

    Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been using SQL pivot tables in a project lately and this might come in handy.
