The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method Description
ChangeExpandedState() Changes the expanded state of the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
CreateDrillDownDataSource() Returns data records that are used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
CreateDrillDownDataSource(List<String>) Returns data records that are used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
CreateDrillDownDataSource(Int32, List<String>) Returns data records used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell in OLAP and server mode. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
CreateDrillDownDataSource(Int32) Returns data records that are used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
CreateOLAPDrillDownDataSource(Int32, List<String>) Obsolete. In OLAP mode, returns a list of records used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
CreateServerModeDrillDownDataSource(Int32, List<String>) Obsolete. In server mode, returns a list of records used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
GetCellValue(Int32, Int32) Returns a value displayed in the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
GetFieldValue(T, Int32) Returns the specified column or row field value for the cell, addressed by its zero-based index in the Data Area. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
GetHigherLevelFields() Returns the parent field for the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.
GetHigherLevelFieldValue(T) Returns the value of a specific parent field corresponding to the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.

Remarks

Handle the FieldValueDisplayText event to do the following:

If the FieldValueDisplayText event is raised for a field value or total header, the Field parameter identifies the corresponding column field or row field. If this event is raised for a data field header, the Field parameter identifies the corresponding data field.

If the FieldValueDisplayText event is raised for a grand total header, the Field property returns null. To get the type of the processed header, use the PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.ValueType property.

If the FieldValueDisplayText event is fired for an item within a Filter Window, the Field parameter returns the column, row or filter field whose dropdown has been invoked.

To supply custom display text for a header or filter window’s item, assign the custom string to the PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText property.

Example

The ASPxPivotGrid.FieldValueDisplayText event allows you to customize field value texts for grand totals.

AspPivot_GrandTotalCustomText

To do this, check the field value type using the PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.ValueType event parameter and provide the required display texts using PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText.

protected void ASPxPivotGrid1_FieldValueDisplayText(object sender, DevExpress.Web.ASPxPivotGrid.PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs e) {
    if (e.ValueType == DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.PivotGridValueType.GrandTotal) {
        if (e.IsColumn)
            e.DisplayText = "*Custom Column Grand Total*";
        else
            e.DisplayText = "*Custom Row Grand Total*";
    }
}
