Remarks
When you add a numeric field to the data area, the field values are summarized by the Sum function. For a text field or field with blank cells, the default summary function is Count. Use the SummarizeValuesBy property to select a different function to summarize values in the data field.
Note
When you change a summary function for a data field, the Spreadsheet rebuilds the pivot table. As a result, a custom name specified for this data field is reset.
The following code example creates a pivot table that uses the Average function to show average sales values for each product:
Worksheet sourceWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Data5"];
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add();
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;
// Create a pivot table using the cell range "A1:E65" as the data source.
PivotTable pivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables.Add(sourceWorksheet["A1:E65"], worksheet["B2"]);
// Add the "Category" field to the row axis area.
pivotTable.RowFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Category"]);
// Add the "Product" field to the row axis area.
pivotTable.RowFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Product"]);
// Add the "Amount" field to the data area.
PivotDataField dataField = pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Amount"]);
// Use the "Average" function to summarize values in the data field.
dataField.SummarizeValuesBy = PivotDataConsolidationFunction.Average;
// Specify the number format for the data field.
dataField.NumberFormat = @"_([$$-409]* #,##0.00_);_([$$-409]* (#,##0.00);_([$$-409]* "" - ""??_);_(@_)";
The selected summary function is automatically used for subtotals and grand totals in the report. To select a different function for the totals of a specific pivot field, call the PivotField.SetSubtotal method.
You can also use the PivotDataField.ShowValuesWithCalculation method overloads to change how summaries are displayed in a pivot table. These methods allow you to apply an additional calculation option to the raw summary values.
