  Try this to the end of your command above:
  PS>get-counter ... -sampleinterval 6|select -exp countersamples|ft -a instancename,@{l="value";e={[math]::round($_.cookedvalue/1MB,5)}}

  Hi there,
  
  I tried this but it's not doing any thing, here is the full command
  get-counter -counter "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Sent/sec", "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Received/sec" -sampleinterval 6 |select -exp countersamples|ft -a instancename,@{l="value";e={[math]::round($_.cookedvalue/1MB,5)}}
  
  cheers

  Can you show some examples?
  
  Here's the first few lines of output when I run it as above:
  
  InstanceName                                      value
  ------------                                      -----
  local area connection - virtual network               0
  broadcom netlink [tm] fast ethernet                   0
  internal                                              0
  dell wireless 1505 draft 802.11n wlan mini-card 0.00031

  Try taking my last command and trimming it down to see at what point you do get some output.
  
  1. Remove "|ft -a ...".
  2. Test.
  3. Remove "|select -exp ...".
  4. Test.
  
  Let me know...
