#Remarks

Follow the steps below to customize data in the output document.

  1. Create the PivotGridXlsxExportOptions instance.
  2. Handle the PivotGridXlsxExportOptions.CustomizeCell event.
  3. Use the CustomizePivotCellEventArgs.Formatting property to specify the cell’s appearance settings.
  4. Use the CustomizePivotCellEventArgs.ValueItemInfo property to specify the field to which the customized cell belongs.
  5. To export cells with custom formatting, set the Handled parameter to true.

The following example exports data from a PivotGrid Control to Xlsx format. The PivotGridXlsxExportOptions.CustomizeCell event is used to change the background color of the “Category Name” column in the output document.

//...
void op_CustomizeCell(CustomizePivotCellEventArgs e){
       if (e.ValueItemInfo != null && e.ValueItemInfo.Field == fieldCategoryName) 
      {
          e.Formatting.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
          e.Handled = true;
      }

  }
void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    PivotGridXlsxExportOptions op = new PivotGridXlsxExportOptions();
    op.CustomizeCell += op_CustomizeCell;
    pivorGrid1.ExportToXlsx(file, op);
