Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.PivotGrid.v24.2.Core.dll

Declaration

Remarks

KPI supports graphic representation for its Status and Trend values. OLAP supports 12 graphic sets such as shapes, smiley faces, traffic lights, etc. Use the KPIGraphic property to specify the graphic set.

If the KPIGraphic property is not set to PivotKPIGraphic.ServerDefined, KPI graphics can be displayed for table data sources. In this instance, valid KPI values are -1 (bad), 0 (neutral), and 1 (good).

Refer to the following topic for more information: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Example

The following example shows how to display KPI graphics in the Pivot Grid bound to the Northwind database. The image below illustrates the resulting UI.

View Example: Pivot Grid for WinForms - Display KPI Graphics

To display KPI graphics, create a Pivot Grid field and bind it to the following expression:

(Iif(Sum([{0}])<100000,-1,Iif(Sum([{0}])<150000,0,1)))", fieldExtendedPrice.ExpressionFieldName)

The field values depend on the Extended Price field values. If the Extended Price field value is less than 100000, the field value is -1. If the Extended Price field value is less than 150000, the field value is 0. In other cases, the field value is 1.

Use the PivotGridFieldBase.KPIGraphic property to specify a graphic set used to visualize field values.
