Powershell Import-CSV converting data type for measure object

Question

Below is column imported from CSV file. Measure is not able to calculate sum, and others operations on it. As you can see I tried data type conversion, but still Measure won't calculate sum. Salary column may have blanks and zeros. Is there one liner solution for this?

Salary
------
120
220
450
620
780

0

This is info from power shell

# measure just gives count, but not sum, max, min
# count in string = 7 (0 and blank included)
# count in int32 = 5
# Input object "" is not numeric.
Import-Csv -path .\testing.csv | Where-Object {$_.Salary -as [Int32]} | Select-Object Salary | Measure -Sum

I also tried below, code. It gave output in currency format, and I feel, which is numeric, and measure can sum, average it, but it still failed.

$objFile | ForEach-Object { $_.Salary.ToString("C2") } | Measure

Also, tried below, which ensured that Salary was Int, but still measure won't sum it.

$objFile = Import-Csv -Path .\testing.csv | Select @{Name="Salary"; Expression={[int32]$_.Salry}}
$objFile |GM
#Measure-Object : Input object "" is not numeric.
