Import-Csv (Get-ChildItem "E:\Bill3\output.csv") |
Group-Object -Property Code |

#{Name='Quantity';Expression={
($_.Group| Measure-Object -Sum -Property Quantity ).Sum
}

Answer 1

You can do the following:
Import-Csv (Get-ChildItem "E:\Bill3\output.csv") |
Group-Object -Property Code |
Select-Object -Property #{Name='Code';Expression={$_.Name}},
#{Name='Quantity';Expression={
($_.Group| Measure-Object -Sum -Property Quantity ).Sum
}
} | Export-Csv file.csv -NoType
an empty pipeline element is not allowed
The reason you received the error message above is because of syntax issues with line continuation. The closing } does not continue the line. Therefore, you cannot add your | Export-Csv command on the next line following the last }. They must be on the same line. You can simply run the following code to generate your same error:
PS > | export-csv o.csv
At line:1 char:1
+ | export-csv o.csv
+ ~
An empty pipe element is not allowed.
