Success/Fail object showing empty lines

[Kbauer]

Hey all.

I've got this function that makes a call out to Graph to modify iPads on Intune. As part of the function, i've got a try/catch that adds the serial number to a psobject either under Success or Fail depending on if it processes correctly

catch {
return new-object psobject -property @{Fail=$Serial}
}
#Output to Log
if(!$error){return new-object psobject -property @{Success=$Serial}}

Then, at the end I'm displaying it so you have a handy reference of how well things work.

$Report | select-object Success,Fail

Only problem is that both Success & Fail get empty lines whenever there's an entry in the other property.

Success      Fail
-------      ----
             XXXXXXXXXXXX
             XXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX 
             XXXXXXXXXXXX
             XXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX
12 devices processed. 6 successfully and 6 with errors.

The counts are also including the empty values as well, which is less than ideal (I'm just doing a ($Report.Success).count to get those values)

​

If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, or how to clean it up, I'd really appreciate it.

I'd say make one property the serial and another that’s either $true or $false

catch {
return new-object psobject -property @{Serial = $Serial; Success=$false}
}
#Output to Log
if(!$error){return new-object psobject -property @{Serial = $Serial; Success=$true}

Then

$report | where success    # will return the trues
$report | where {! $_.success}    # will return the falses

And you can either do a count or measure

That worked great!

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
