The following members return PivotDataField objects:

• PivotDataFieldCollection.Add(PivotField, String, PivotDataConsolidationFunction)
• PivotDataFieldCollection.Add(PivotField, String)
• PivotDataFieldCollection.Add(PivotField)
• PivotDataFieldCollection.Insert(Int32, PivotField, String, PivotDataConsolidationFunction)
• PivotDataFieldCollection.Insert(Int32, PivotField, String)
• PivotDataFieldCollection.Insert(Int32, PivotField)

Remarks

The PivotDataField object is a member of the PivotDataFieldCollection collection, which stores all data fields of a PivotTable report. An individual PivotDataField object can be accessed by its name or index in the collection using the PivotDataFieldCollection.Item property.

To add a PivotField to the data area of the PivotTable report, use the PivotDataFieldCollection.Add method. To change the default summary function used by the data field, use the PivotDataField.SummarizeValuesBy property. To apply an additional calculation option to the data field and change the way summary values are displayed within the field, use the PivotDataField.ShowValuesWithCalculation method overloads. To apply a number format to the data field, use the PivotDataField.NumberFormat property.

workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;

// Create a pivot table.
PivotTable pivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables.Add(sourceWorksheet["A1:D41"], worksheet["B2"]);

// Add the "Product" field to the row axis area.

To change the position of a field within the data area, use the PivotDataField‘s PivotFieldReferenceBase.MoveDown, PivotFieldReferenceBase.MoveUp, PivotFieldReferenceBase.MoveToBeginning or PivotFieldReferenceBase.MoveToEnd method.

To remove a data field from the pivot table, use the PivotDataFieldCollection.Remove or PivotDataFieldCollection.RemoveAt method.
