C#

public event CustomizePivotCellEventHandler CustomizeCell

VB.NET

Public Event CustomizeCell As CustomizePivotCellEventHandler

Remarks

Use the CustomizePivotCellEventArgs.RowType and CustomizePivotCellEventArgs.ColumnType parameters to identify a row and column containing the cell.

C#

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

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
    PivotXlsExportOptions op = new PivotXlsExportOptions();
    op.CustomizeCell += op_CustomizeCell;
    pivotGridControl1.ExportToXls(fileName, op);
}

VB.NET

'...
Private Sub op_CustomizeCell(ByVal e As CustomizePivotCellEventArgs)
    If e.ValueItemInfo IsNot Nothing AndAlso e.ValueItemInfo.Field = fieldCategoryName Then
        e.Formatting.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue
        e.Handled = True
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim op As New PivotXlsExportOptions()
    AddHandler op.CustomizeCell, AddressOf op_CustomizeCell
    pivotGridControl1.ExportToXls(fileName, op)
