Note
Data field properties cannot be changed in the CustomExportCell event handler.
Note
The CustomExportCell and ASPxPivotGridExporter.CustomExportFieldValue events are not in effect during the export in Data-Aware mode. To customize cells in Data-Aware export mode, use the PivotXlsExportOptions.CustomizeCell and PivotXlsxExportOptions.CustomizeCell events.
Example
This example shows how to display custom text within cells when the pivot grid’s data is exported to a file in XLS format. To do this, the ASPxPivotGridExporter.CustomExportCell event is handled.
The image below shows the result:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.Web;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
static double maxPrice = 99;
protected void ASPxPivotGridExporter1_CustomExportCell(
object sender,
WebCustomExportCellEventArgs e) {
if (e.DataField.FieldName == "UnitPrice" &&
Convert.ToDouble(e.Value) > 0 &&
Convert.ToDouble(e.Value) < maxPrice) {
// Specifies the cell's display text.
((TextBrick)e.Brick).Text = string.Format(
"Custom text: {0}",
((TextBrick)e.Brick).Text);
// Specifies the appearance settings used to paint the cell in a document.
e.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Green;
e.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.White;
}
}
protected void ASPxButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
ASPxPivotGridExporter1.ExportToXls(@"C:\pivotdata.xls", TextExportMode.Text);
}
}
