DESCRIPTION
The Format-Wide cmdlet formats objects as a wide table that displays only one property of each object. You can use the Property parameter to determine which property is displayed.

PARAMETERS
-AutoSize []
Adjusts the column size and number of columns based on the width of the data. By default, the column size and number are determined by the view. You cannot use the AutoSize and Column parameters in the same command.

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

-Column
Specifies the number of columns in the display. You cannot use the AutoSize and Column parameters in the same command.

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

-DisplayError []
Displays errors at the command line.

Required? false
Position? named

-Expand
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.

Valid values 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
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Force []
Overrides restrictions that prevent the command from succeeding, just so the changes do not compromise security. For example, Force will override the read-only attribute or create directories to complete a file path, but it will not attempt to change file permissions.

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

-GroupBy
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
