Hashtables are a great way to format custom data, change labels on columns, and adjusts column widths.
Code
cls
$TheHashTable = new-object system.collections.hashtable
$TheHashTable += @{"Washington" = "Olympia"; "Oregon" = "Salem"; "California" = "Sacremento" }
$a = @{Expression={$_.Name};Label="Test1";width=15}, `
@{Expression={$_.Value};Label="Test2";width=30}
"The Hashtable contents:"
$TheHashTable | Format-Table $a
Output (copy and pasted into PowerShell)
