Definitely a future enhancement, but I agree this would be awesome. |

For anyone wanting this today, Ahmad Adel Gad has offered a solution, For conditional formatting, see example 16B.01: There's some really good thought into the options available on this CmdLet, so could be a good source of inspiration for this enhancement request too. |

The
Format-Table
command in PowerShell displays objects in a fundamentally similar manner as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Microsoft Excel provides a conditional formatting feature that enables spreadsheet builders to change the display format of a cell, based on the value of the cell's contents.It would be really great if a PowerShell user could add conditional formatting rules to object properties, using the
Format-Table
command. That way, let's say you have an object with aStatus
property. That property could be emitted asGreen
if its value isSuccess
orRed
if the property value isFailed
.For example, you could add a custom property specifier in the
Format-Table
command as follows:In PowerShell today, we already have a similar syntax for building "calculated properties." We could leverage a similar syntax to build colorized expressions in data tables. This capability would be useful to build PowerShell-based dashboards and presenting data in a more useful manner in the console.
Cheers,
Trevor Sullivan
