Hello all. I have a report that I am working on for the Backup Team to assist in the countless audit we receive. The report runs great (a little slow but functional) and my Convert-HTML adds a red button for everything instead of a green for Networker Policy being populated for a VM and red for a null entry. The other thing it does is add the Status Column to my csv output with the following: <img src="https://cdn0.iconfinder.com/data/icons/gloss-basic-icons-by-momentum/32/bullet-red.png"> which makes the csv ugly. I guess my problem is two-fold. The HTML output and the CSV. I would like the Status Column in the CSV to not appear at all. I apologize for the length and wish I could figure out how to paste as a pretty PowerShell code.
