Powershell: Script assistance

Hello,

I have a csv file with 2 columns, Column A is server name, and column B is log size. I have to add up all the values for server A, and the output should be Server A, 4gb , and Server B, 2.4 ((based on the following table). I have a csv file with about 5000 lines and 300 servers.

Server A-10-28      2gb
Server A-10-27      1gb
Server A-10-26      1gb
Server B-10-28      0.4gb
Server B -10-27      2gb

Could you please assist with a script. Really appreciate your assistance.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years.

A few questions for you.
1. is the date format all ways the same?
2. Do the servers follow a naming convention?
3. Is there any non consistent formatting? (like sometimes there's spaces, sometimes not, sometimes a hyphen before the date, sometimes not, etc)

Assuming we do not have a dash in the server name:
Import-CSV servers.csv -header file, used |
  % { @{ server = $_.file.Split('-')[0]; used = $_.used -replace 'gb'} } |
 Group-Object server |
 % { New-Object PsObject -Property @{ server = $_.Name; size = $_.Group | Measure-Object -Sum size | Select -Expand Sum } }

Sorry, left-over from prior test code.
Import-CSV servers.csv -header file, used |
  % { @{ server = $_.file.Split('-')[0]; used = $_.size -replace 'gb'} } |
 Group-Object server |
 % { New-Object PsObject -Property @{ server = $_.Name; size = $_.Group | Measure-Object -Sum size | Select -Expand Sum } }

[censored] I've changed the wrong part! And since you have column headers Name and Size in the CSV, we will use those.
Import-CSV servers.csv |
  % { @{ server = $_.Name.Split('-')[0]; size = $_.size -replace 'gb'} } |
 Group-Object server |
 % { New-Object PsObject -Property @{ server = $_.Name; size = $_.Group | Measure-Object -Sum size | Select -Expand Sum }

Note: the Name in the last line is intentional and correct, it refers to the fixed property generated by Group-Object containing the group name.

still the same error

I really have to apologize. This is all originating from me not copying the correct test code in the first place :/.
Hopefully this is the last try needed:
Import-CSV servers.csv |
  % { New-Object PsObject -Property @{ server = $_.Name.Split('-')[0]; size = $_.size -replace 'gb'} } |
  Group-Object server |
  % { New-Object PsObject -Property @{ server = $_.Name; size = $_.Group | Measure-Object -Sum size | Select -Expand Sum }
