Passing date time as variable instead of where-object filter - powershell

Question

I am trying to use below code with date range as Where-Object filter but that is slowing down my output speed as well as unable to export to csv.
$Prids = get-content -Path C:\Temp\sqltest.txt
foreach ($prid in $prids){
$filterDate = [datetime]::Today.AddDays(-22)
Get-CdPac2000Problems -PId $Prid | Where-Object {$_.ClosedDate.Date -ge $filterDate} |ft PID,ClosedDate,ClosedByELID,ResponsibleGroup,ReferredDate -autosize
}
How can I change Where-Object to parameter that looks something like -closedate $variable like I did with -PID? The biggest struggle for me is to creating a datetime variable.

Answer 1

First of, you should move the $filterDateout of the loop, second you should NEVER use Format-Table, and ABSOLUTELY NEVER in a loop.
Try this:
$filterDate = [datetime]::Today.AddDays(-22)
$Prids = get-content -Path C:\Temp\sqltest.txt
$Result = foreach ($prid in $prids){
Get-CdPac2000Problems -PId $Prid | Where-Object {(Get-Date $_.ClosedDate.Date) -ge $filterDate}
}
$Result | Format-Table PID,ClosedDate,ClosedByELID,ResponsibleGroup,ReferredDate -autosize
One of the most beautyfull things in PowerShell is, that you can interfere directly with all objects. All methods and properties are preserved, when passing the objects to a variable or to the next command in a pipe. Format-Table converts objects to a table - something human readable and something stripped from methods and life.
