Export Powershell to CSV

Estimated reading time: 1 minutes

To export PowerShell to CSV file, you can use the Export-Csv cmdlet. Here’s an example:

1. First, run your PowerShell command to generate the data you want to export to a CSV file. For example:

Get-Process | Select-Object Name, Id, CPU | Sort-Object CPU -Descending

This command gets a list of all running processes, selects the process name, ID, and CPU usage, and sorts the list by CPU usage in descending order.

2. To export the data to a CSV file, pipe the output of the command to the Export-Csv cmdlet and specify the file path and name. For example:

Get-Process | Select-Object Name, Id, CPU | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Export-Csv -Path C:processes.csv -NoTypeInformation

This command exports the data to a CSV file named “processes.csv” in the root of the C drive, without including the type information of the objects in the file.

Note that the -NoTypeInformation parameter is optional, but it prevents the Export-Csv cmdlet from including the .NET type information of the objects in the CSV file. This can make the file easier to read and use in other programs.
