Remarks

Note

This member is not supported in Optimized and Server modes. Use DataSourceColumnBindingBase.GroupInterval instead.

Run Demo: Interval Grouping

The control doesn’t group values of the column and row fields. It displays all their unique values along its left and top edge. You can use the GroupInterval property to change the logic and specify which values should be grouped together.

For instance, for a field that displays date/time values, you can set its GroupInterval property to PivotGroupInterval.DateYear. As a result, the field’s values will be grouped within a few categories, each of which will combine different values that belong to the same year.

To display a group interval name in the field’s caption, set the PivotGridFieldOptions.ShowGroupIntervalName property to true.

See the PivotGroupInterval topic for details on the available group modes.

You can control which group interval to display in the UI. For this, set the PivotGridOptionsMenu.ShowDateTimeGroupIntervalItems property.

If group modes available from the GroupInterval property do not suit your needs, you can use the PivotGridControl.CustomGroupInterval event to implement custom group intervals.

Example

Assume that the PivotGridControl is bound to a data table that contains an OrderDate field. In the following example two PivotGridField fields are created and displayed in the Column Header Area. Each is bound to the OrderDate field. The first Pivot Grid Control field’s values will be grouped by years, the second field’s values will be grouped by months. To group data, the PivotGridFieldBase.GroupInterval property is used.

The result of the code is shown below:

PivotGridField_GroupInterval_ex

using DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid;

// Create column fields and bind them to the 'OrderDate' datasource field.
PivotGridField fieldYear = new PivotGridField("OrderDate", PivotArea.ColumnArea); 
PivotGridField fieldMonth = new PivotGridField("OrderDate", PivotArea.ColumnArea);
// Add the fields to the field collection.
pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add(fieldYear);
pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add(fieldMonth);
// Set the caption and group mode of the fields.
fieldYear.GroupInterval = PivotGroupInterval.DateYear;
fieldYear.Caption = "Year";
fieldMonth.GroupInterval = PivotGroupInterval.DateMonth;
fieldMonth.Caption = "Month";
