View Example

PivotTableActions.vb

Dim sourceWorksheet As Worksheet = workbook.Worksheets("Data1")
Dim worksheet As Worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add()
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet

' Create a pivot table using the cell range "A1:D41" as the data source.
Dim pivotTable As PivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables.Add(sourceWorksheet("A1:D41"), 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 "Sales" field to the data area.
pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields("Sales"))

PivotTableActions.cs

Worksheet sourceWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Data1"];
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add();
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;

// Create a pivot table using the cell range "A1:D41" as the data source.
PivotTable pivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables.Add(sourceWorksheet["A1:D41"], 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 "Sales" field to the data area.
pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Sales"]);

Reorder Data Fields

Use the PivotDataField.MoveDown, PivotDataField.MoveUp, PivotDataField.MoveToBeginning, and PivotDataField.MoveToEnd methods to reorder fields in the data area. The PivotLayout.DataOnRows property allows you to change the orientation of multiple data fields in the report.

Change Summary Function

Use the PivotDataField.SummarizeValuesBy property to change the default summary function used to calculate values in a data field. The PivotDataField.ShowValuesWithCalculation method allows you to apply an additional calculation option to the data field and specify how summary values are displayed within the field.

Remove Data Fields

Use the PivotDataFieldCollection.Remove or PivotDataFieldCollection.RemoveAt method to remove a data field from a pivot table. The PivotDataFieldCollection.Clear method removes all fields from the data area.
