Meeting Overview
Custom formatters are an untapped resource that can significantly enhance your code's output. A custom formatter in PowerShell is a tool that allows you to define how data is displayed in the console or saved to a file. It enables you to specify the layout, style, and structure of your output, making it clearer and more user-friendly. These formatters can improve readability by organizing data into tables, lists, or other formats while including specific properties or calculations tailored to your needs.

This month, we’re thrilled to welcome back our longtime friend and PowerShell expert, Jeff Hicks! He will share insights on how custom formatters work and guide you in building a template that you can deploy with your code, allowing you to present your data exactly as you envision. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your PowerShell skills!
