Expressions are only allowed as the first element of a pipeline.

Anyway i can get the values in a variable here ? I tried above gives error.

Try like this

$Clusters = Get-Cluster -location xx

foreach ($Cluster in $Clusters){

    $VMHosts = (Get-VMHost -Location $Cluster).count

    $VMs = (Get-VM -Location $Cluster).count

}

Ya 1 more work-around fund was

$Clusters = Get-Cluster -location xx

foreach ($Cluster in $Clusters){

    $VMHosts = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VMHost

    $VMs = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VM

    $TotalVs = $VMs.count

    Write-Host "$Cluster has $TotalVs guests "

}

There is no need to a Get-Cluster inside the ForEach loop, you already have the cluster object in the $cluster variable
