Really easy question

[Curdasss]

Hey guys I know this is a really easy thing but for some reason it's something I can't figure out. How would I go about getting just the numerical value from a measure--object command? Say I run get-vm |measure-object MemoryMB -Sum, I just want to the value for the sum not all the test that goes along with it. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? Thanks, example below:

Result:

Count : 123

Average :

Sum : 461112

Maximum :

Minimum :

Property : MemoryMB

All I want is: 461112

You can do

(get-vm |measure-object MemoryMB -Sum).Sum

This would also work:

get-vm | measure-object MemoryMB -Sum | %{$_.sum}
