Formatting powershell SQL Server output into columns and rows

Question

I\'m a beginner with Powershell trying to query a SQL Server database and output the csv in a file organised rows and columns. I can partially achieve this with the following co

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is the -NoTypeInformation switch.

$results | export.csv $FilePathOfCSV -NoTypeInformation

-NoTypeInformation is a switch that omits type information from the outputted CSV file. The first line of the CSV contains the type followed by the full name of the .NET framework object it is using.

That should give you a structured CSV output.

Hope it works!
