DevExtreme Vue - PivotGridDataSource - fields

Configures pivot grid fields.

import { DxDataSourceTypes } from "devextreme-vue/data-source"
Type: DxDataSourceTypes.Field
Default Value: undefined

This property accepts an array of objects where each object configures a single field. Each pivot grid field must be associated with a data field using the dataField property. Fields with the specified area property are displayed in the pivot grid; other fields' headers are displayed in the field chooser.

If the retrieveFields property is true, fields configured in the fields array are accompanied by auto-generated fields that do not belong to any area. However, a user can move them to any area using the field chooser.

allowCrossGroupCalculation

Specifies whether to take neighboring groups' summary values into account when calculating a running total and absolute or percent variation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

For example, a pivot grid row contains the following summary values split into three groups:

[ [1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2], [3, 3, 3] ]

This row can be displayed differently depending on the allowCrossGroupCalculation property's value, provided that the running total is calculated by rows:

[ [1, 2, 3], [2, 4, 6], [3, 6, 9] ]    // allowCrossGroupCalculation: false
[ [1, 2, 3], [5, 7, 9], [12, 15, 18] ] // allowCrossGroupCalculation: true

View Demo

allowExpandAll

Allows users to expand/collapse all header items within the same header level. Ignored if the PivotGridDataSource's paginate property is true.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

allowFiltering

Specifies whether a user can filter the field's values.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

When this property is set to true, the field's header in the field chooser and on the field panel is supplied with a filter icon. Clicking it invokes the header filter displaying all unique field values. A user applies filtering by selecting or clearing the selection of the values.

View Demo

See Also

allowSorting

Specifies whether a user can change the field's sorting.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

When this property is set to true, clicking the field's header in the field chooser and on the field panel changes the sorting direction. An arrow icon in the header indicates the current sorting direction.

View Demo

See Also

allowSortingBySummary

Allows users to sort the pivot grid by summary values instead of field values. Ignored if the PivotGridDataSource's paginate property is true.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

When this property is set to true, a user can use a column header's or row header's context menu to sort the pivot grid by this column's or row's summary values.

See Also

area

Specifies the field's area.

Default Value: undefined
Accepted Values: undefined

The field does not belong to any area if this property is undefined. However, the field's header is displayed in the field chooser, which enables the user to move this field to any area. In other cases, the field is displayed in the specified area.

areaIndex

Specifies the field's order among the other fields in the same area. Corresponds to the field's order in the fields array by default.

Type:

Number

Default Value: undefined

The field's order affects the headers's hierarchy structure and is not related to the sorting concept.

calculateCustomSummary

Specifies a custom aggregate function. Applies only if the summaryType is "custom" and the remoteOperations is false. Cannot be used with an XmlaStore.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
options:

Object

Information on the summary.

Object structure:
Name Type Description
summaryProcess

String

The summary value calculation stage: "start", "calculate", or "finalize".

totalValue any

The total summary value.

value any

A value to be aggregated. If you need to access an entire data object in this field, do not specify the dataField property.

A summary value calculation is conducted in three stages: start - in which the totalValue is initialized, calculate - in which it is modified, and finalize - in which the totalValue is adjusted. To identify the current stage, check the value of the summaryProcess field that belongs to the function's parameter.

calculateSummaryValue

Specifies a custom post-processing function for summary values.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:

The cell whose summary value is being processed.

Return Value:

Number

| null

The cell's new summary value.

Default Value: undefined

This and other post-processing functions allow you to perform additional calculations on each summary value and take into account neighboring cell summary values. You can hide specific rows if the calculateSummaryValue property returns null, and the hideEmptySummaryCells property is true.

On the following image, pivot grid cells display indexes that show the order in which the calculateSummaryValue function is called. This order stays the same even if the layout is changed, for example, if rows or columns are sorted differently or the total columns are relocated.

DevExtreme PivotGrid: Summary calculation order

The following code snippet shows how to use calculateSummaryValue to implement a custom "Profit/Loss" column.

Date formats require additional configuration. The PivotGridDataSource groups date field values by date component: Year-Quarter-Month. For this, the values are converted from dates to numbers, but you cannot use date formats to format numbers. To apply a date format in this case, override this grouping.

The following code declares a custom group for the ShippingDate data field. This configuration overrides this field's default grouping. Field values are grouped by year and then by month. Months are formatted as MMM (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.). This format is applied to the Date values the selector function returns.

$(function() {
    const pivotGridDataSource = new DevExpress.data.PivotGridDataSource({
        // ...
        fields: [{

When a format is exported to Excel, it is converted to an Excel format as follows:

  • Numeric
    Converted to Number format, except for "largeNumber", which is exported without formatting.

  • Currency
    Converted to the Currency format.

  • Date-Time
    Converted to the Date or Time format, depending on the cell value.
    Exceptions: "quarter" and "quarterAndYear" are exported as Short Date; "minute" and "millisecond" are exported as Long Time.

  • Function
    Cannot be converted automatically. Assign this function to the customizeText property instead of the format property.

  • Custom format string
    Cannot be converted, the cell value is exported without formatting. To export this format, return the formatted string from the customizeText callback as follows:

isMeasure

Specifies whether the field should be treated as a measure (a field providing data for calculation).

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: undefined

There are no restrictions for rearranging fields in the areas using the field chooser. However, we recommend restricting measures to the data area by setting their isMeasure property to true. You can also set this property to false for a non-measure field to prohibit placing it in the data area.

name

Specifies the field's identifier.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

Set this property to refer to the field in code, for example, when changing field options.

runningTotal

Specifies whether to calculate the running total by rows or by columns.

Default Value: undefined

For example, a pivot grid row contains the following summary values:

[ 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 ]

If the runningTotal property is set to "row", each value in this row is added to the previous value:

[ 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 ]

This also applies to columns if the runningTotal property is set to "column".

selector

Specifies a function that combines the field's values into groups for the headers. Cannot be used with an XmlaStore or remote operations.

Type:

Function

Default Value: undefined

This function is an alternative to the groupInterval property and should return a group name that corresponds to a data object. The function's parameter represents this data object. For example, the selector function in the following code groups birth dates by decades:

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    var pivotGridDataSource = new DevExpress.data.PivotGridDataSource({

showGrandTotals

Specifies whether to display the field's grand totals. Applies only if the field is in the data area.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

See Also

showTotals

Specifies whether to display the field's totals.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

NOTE
Setting this property to false hides the field's totals and summary values - only the grand totals are displayed. Set the showValues property to true to display summary values.
See Also

showValues

Specifies whether to display the field's summary values. Applies only if the field is in the data area. Inherits the showTotals' value by default.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: undefined

sortBy

Specifies how the field's values in the headers should be sorted.

Default Value: undefined

Dimension attributes have a value and a display text. For example, a "Month" attribute's display text can be "January", "February", ..., "December"; its values can be 1, 2, ..., 12. "January" is first when sorting by values, and "April" is first when sorting by display text.

No sorting is applied when sortBy is set to "none".

sortBySummaryField

Sorts the field's values in the headers by the specified measure's summary values. Accepts the measure's name, caption, dataField, or index in the fields array.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

This and the sortBySummaryPath properties can be used together to sort the field's values by a specific column's or row's summary values. If sortBySummaryPath is unspecified, the field's values are sorted by the specified measure's grand totals, as it is with the Region field's values in the following code:

sortOrder

Specifies the field values' sorting order.

Type:

SortOrder

Default Value: 'asc'

summaryDisplayMode

Specifies a predefined post-processing function. Does not apply when the calculateSummaryValue property is set.

Default Value: undefined

Post-processing functions allow you to perform additional calculations on each summary value and take into account neighboring cells' summary values.

The following list describes the available post-processing functions. These functions apply to one summary value at a time. This value is referred to as the "current value" in the descriptions.

  • "absoluteVariation"
    Calculates the absolute difference between the current and previous value in a row. Starts from the second value in the row because the first does not have a previous value.

  • "percentVariation"
    Same as the absolute variation, but the difference is calculated as a percentage.

  • "percentOfColumnTotal"
    Calculates the current value as a percentage in one of the column's intermediate totals or the column's grand total when there are no expanded rows.

  • "percentOfRowTotal"
    Calculates the current value as a percentage in one of the row's intermediate totals or the row's grand total when there are no expanded columns.

  • "percentOfColumnGrandTotal"
    Calculates the current value as a percentage in the column's grand total.

  • "percentOfRowGrandTotal"
    Calculates the current value as a percentage in the row's grand total.

  • "percentOfGrandTotal"
    Calculates the current value as a percentage in the grand total of the entire pivot grid.

jQuery

You can implement the capability to select the post-processing function at runtime using instructions from the Runtime Summary Type Selection article.

To specify a custom post-processing function, use the calculateSummaryValue property.

View Demo

summaryType

Specifies how to aggregate the field's data. Cannot be used with an XmlaStore.

Default Value: 'count'

The summary type defines how to calculate the summary values that are displayed in the pivot grid's cells. The calculation is performed on a subset of facts that correspond to each field value in three areas (column, row, and filter).

The following summary types are supported:
