SYNOPSIS

    Uses a customized view to format the output.
    
    

SYNTAX

    Format-Custom [[-Property] ] [-Depth ] [-DisplayError] [-Expand {CoreOnly | EnumOnly | Both}] 

    [-Force] [-GroupBy ] [-InputObject ] [-ShowError] [-View ] []

    
    

DESCRIPTION

    The Format-Custom cmdlet formats the output of a command as defined in an alternate view. Format-Custom is 

    designed to display views that are not just tables or just lists. You can use the views defined in the 

    *format.PS1XML files in the Windows PowerShell directory, or you can create your own views in new PS1XML files and 

    use the Update-FormatData cmdlet to add them to Windows PowerShell.

    


PARAMETERS

    -Depth 

        Specifies the number of columns in the display.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        

    -DisplayError []

        Indicates that this cmdlet displays errors at the command line. This parameter is rarely used, but can be used 

        as a debugging aid when you are formatting expressions in a Format-Custom command, and the expressions do not 

        appear to be working. The following shows an example of the results of adding the DisplayError parameter with 
        an expression.
        

        `PS > Get-Date | Format-Custom DayOfWeek,{ $_ / $null } -ShowError`

        

        `DayOfWeek  $_ / $null` `--------- ------------` `Wednesday #ERR`

        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                False
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        

    -Expand 

        Specifies that this cmdlet formats the collection object, as well as the objects in the collection. This 
        parameter is designed to format objects that support the ICollection (System.Collections) interface. The 
        default value is EnumOnly. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
        

        - EnumOnly. Displays the properties of the objects in the collection. - CoreOnly. Displays the properties of 

        the collection object. - Both. Displays the properties of the collection object and the properties of objects 

        in the collection.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        

    -Force []

        Indicates that this cmdlet displays all of the error information. Use with the DisplayError or ShowError 
        parameter. By default, when an error object is written to the error or display streams, only some of the error 
        information is displayed.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                False
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        

    -GroupBy 

        Specifies that this cmdlet formats the output in groups based on a shared property or value. Enter an 
        expression or a property of the output.
        
        The value of the GroupBy parameter can be a new calculated property. To create a calculated, property, use a 
        hash table. Valid keys are:
        

        - Name (or Label) 

        

        - Expression  or
