Thank you! This is definitely more elegant than what I'd come up with. I got a way to deal with the quotes thanks to this [link] (sqlmovers.com/removing-quotes-from-csv-created-by-powershell) Is there a way to calculate a weighted average as opposed to 'normal' average'? The formula has been given as: sum((Lcy*Fcy))/sum(Fcy) So the ` Lcy*Fcy` should be done at individual row level to create a group sum. The group sum of the Lcy * Fcy is divided by the group sum of Fcy. Like this: ` lcyfcy[$2$3]+=($4*$5);fcy_tot[$2$3]+=$4; {avgexch=lcyfcy[i]/fcy_tot[i]; `

Let me see if I got that right the sum of the products of Fcy*Lcy (per row in the group) divided by the sum of sum of Fcy , I'll post an edit in a minute.

the sum is row in the file not row in the group: So for each row we need to get the products of Fcy * Lcy before grouping them. I think an additional field is required to hold the value of Fcy * Lcy on the original file. Then use measure-object sum to divide the 2 sums.

I disagree, a sum per file would intermix currencys.

The consolidation is also per currency so it will not intermix the currencies. I have solved it by adding an extra field in the csv: ` Import-Csv .\text.txt -Delimiter "|" | Select-Object *,@{Name='LcyFcy';Expression={[long]$_.Lcy*[long]$_.Fcy}} ` The result of this is then piped to the script from LotPings
