# Calculated properties in `Select-Object`   
   
Calculated properties can be used in `Select-Object` to format results in a particular way:   
```powershell
Get-ADUser | select GivenName, @{Name='Hello', Expression={'World {0}' -f $_.Surname}}
```
   
Shortcuts of `n` and `e` can be used for the keys, i.e.   
```powershell
Get-ADUser | select GivenName, @{n='Hello', e={'World {0}' -f $_.Surname}}
```
