Time remaining for a mailbox move

Question

Hi All,
I am using Primal form to monitor my mailbox moves and have the following script
$outputbox.text = get-moverequest| get-moverequeststatistics |Sort-Object PercentComplete -Descending | ft displayname, @{label=" % "; expression="percentcomplete"},@{l="Size";e={$_.Totalmailboxsize.ToString().SubString(0,($_.totalmailboxsize.ToString().IndexOf("MB")))}}
,@{l="Moved";e={$_.BytesTransferred.ToString().SubString(0,($_.BytesTransferred.ToString().IndexOf("MB")))}},@{l="Rate";e={$_.BytesTransferredPerMinute.ToString().SubString(0,($_.BytesTransferredPerMinute.ToString().IndexOf("MB")))}} 
,statusdetail  -AutoSize| Out-String
I would like to add another column that gives me an estimated remaining time for the move. I can do the maths easily enough but don't know how to write it as a simple script that could be added as an extra column in the form
Any ideas?
TIA
Andy

This will give you an idea of how this kind of scripting works.  You copied things wrong and have not understood computer fields.
$outputbox.text = get-moverequest|
get-moverequeststatistics |
Sort-Object PercentComplete -Descending |
Format-Table displayname,
@{L=' % '; E={ $_.percentcomplete }},
@{L='Size(Gb)'; E={ $_.Totalmailboxsize.Value.ToGb().ToString('N2') }},
@{L='Moved(Gb)'; E={ $_.BytesTransferred.Value.ToGb().ToString('N2') }},
@{L='Rate(Gb)'; E={ $_.BytesTransferredPerMinute.Value.ToGb().ToString('N2') }},
StatusDetail -AutoSize |
Out-String
Study how to do "computed/calculated properties".  Also look up how to use exchange large integer values.
