PivotGridDataSource Configuration

Default Value: null

The PivotGrid is bound to data via the PivotGridDataSource, a component that allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. The PivotGridDataSource's underlying data access logic is isolated in the store. You use different store types for different data sources.

To bind the PivotGrid to data, assign a PivotGridDataSource to the UI component's dataSource property. In the PivotGridDataSource, specify the store property depending on your data source as shown in the following list. In each case, also specify the fields[] array to configure pivot grid fields.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the store property. View Demo

  • OLAP Data
    Implement an XmlaStore. View Demo

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme UI components use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function() {
    let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service";
    $("#pivotGridContainer").dxPivotGrid({
        // ...

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

You can call the getDataSource() method to access the PivotGridDataSource instance associated with the PivotGrid.

NOTE

Review the following notes about data binding:

  • If the PivotGrid UI component gets data from a server, enable remoteOperations to notify the UI component that the server processes data.

  • Data field names cannot be equal to this and should not contain the following characters: ., :, [, and ].

  • The stores and PivotGridDataSource have methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new PivotGridDataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the articles about changing properties in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

disabled

Specifies whether the UI component responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

elementAttr

Configures client-side exporting.

Type:

Object

A user can click the Export button to save an Excel file with the exported data. Data types, sort, filter, and group settings are maintained.

View Demo

The following instructions show how to enable and configure client-side export:

  1. Install or reference the required libraries
    This feature requires ExcelJS v4+ and FileSaver v2.0.2+.

    jQuery
    HTML

    <!-- reference the DevExtreme sources here -->
</head>
    Angular
    Installation command
    tsconfig.app.json
    npm install --save exceljs file-saver
    {
    "compilerOptions": {
        // ...
        "paths": {
            // ...
            "exceljs": [
                "node_modules/exceljs/dist/exceljs.min.js"
            ]
        }
    }
}
    Vue
    npm install --save exceljs file-saver
    React
    npm install --save exceljs file-saver

  2. Enable the export UI
    Set the export.enabled property to true:

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function () {
    $("#pivotGridContainer").dxPivotGrid({
        export: {
            enabled: true
        }
    });
});
    Angular
    app.component.html
    app.component.ts
    app.module.ts
    <dx-pivot-grid ... >
    <dxo-export [enabled]="true"></dxo-export>
</dx-pivot-grid>
    import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
}
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { DxPivotGridModule } from 'devextreme-angular';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        DxPivotGridModule
    ],
    providers: [ ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
    Vue
    App.vue
    <template>
    <DxPivotGrid ... >
        <DxExport
            :enabled="true"
        />
    </DxPivotGrid>
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { DxPivotGrid, 
    DxExport,
    DxColumn
} from 'devextreme-vue/pivot-grid';

export default {
    components: {
        DxPivotGrid,
        DxExport,
        DxColumn
    }
}
</script>
    React
    App.js
    import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import PivotGrid, {
    Export,
    Column
} from 'devextreme-react/pivot-grid';

export default function App() {
    return (
        <PivotGrid ... >
            <Export enabled={true} />
        </PivotGrid>
    );
}

  3. Export the PivotGrid
    Implement the onExporting handler and call the exportPivotGrid(options) method in it. In the code below, this method exports the PivotGrid as is, but you can use ExcelExportPivotGridProps to configure export settings, including cell customization. The PivotGrid is exported to an Excel worksheet that is created using the ExcelJS API. To save the Excel document, call the FileSaver's saveAs method. The e.cancel parameter disables the deprecated built-in export implementation with fewer capabilities.

    jQuery
    index.js
    $('#gridContainer').dxPivotGrid({
    export: {
        enabled: true
    },
    onExporting: function(e) { 
        var workbook = new ExcelJS.Workbook(); 
        var worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet('Main sheet'); 
        DevExpress.excelExporter.exportPivotGrid({ 
            worksheet: worksheet, 
            component: e.component,
            customizeCell: function(options) {
                var excelCell = options;
                excelCell.font = { name: 'Arial', size: 12 };
                excelCell.alignment = { horizontal: 'left' };
            } 
        }).then(function() {
            workbook.xlsx.writeBuffer().then(function(buffer) { 
                saveAs(new Blob([buffer], { type: 'application/octet-stream' }), 'PivotGrid.xlsx'); 
            }); 
        }); 
        e.cancel = true; 
    }
});

The following restrictions apply when users export PivotGrid:

  • Only XLSX files are supported out of the box. To export PivotGrid to CSV, implement the exportPivotGrid(options) method as shown in the following ticket: Export PivotGrid into CSV file.
  • Only visible rows and columns are exported.

fieldChooser

The Field Chooser configuration properties.

Type:

Object

A field chooser is a pivot grid element that allows an end-user to configure data displayed in the pivot grid. To invoke the field chooser, right-click any pivot grid header and select the Show Field Chooser item. You can also display PivotGridFieldChooser as a separate UI component.

View Demo

fieldPanel

Configures the field panel.

Type:

Object

The field panel is a component that displays the fields involved in the calculation of grid summaries. It consists of four field areas: column, row, data and filter. Each area holds fields of the corresponding type.

By default, the field panel is hidden. To make it visible, assign true to the visible property. To control the visibility of an individual field area, change the showColumnFields, showRowFields, showDataFields or showFilterFields property respectively.

The field panel partially covers the functionality provided by the field chooser. For example, the user can reorder fields within a single field area or even between them. This capability is controlled by the value of the allowFieldDragging property.

In addition, if the allowSorting and allowFiltering properties are true, the user can apply sorting and filtering to fields directly from the field panel.

View Demo

headerFilter

Configures the header filter feature.

Type:

Object

A header filter allows a user to filter individual field's values by including or excluding them from the applied filter. Clicking a header filter icon in the field chooser or the field panel invokes a popup menu displaying all the unique field values.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout UI component Pivot Grid Header Filter

Assign true to the allowFiltering property to make the icons visible. To customize a specific field's header filter, use the field's headerFilter object.

The user's filtering preferences are saved in the filterValues property. The header filter's Select All checkbox changes the filterType property.

height

Specifies the UI component's height.

Type:

Number

|

String

|

Function

Return Value:

Number

|

String

The UI component's height.

Default Value: undefined

This property accepts a value of one of the following types:

  • Number
    The height in pixels.

  • String
    A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "80%", "inherit".

  • Function
    A function returning either of the above. For example:

    JavaScript
    height: function() {
    return window.innerHeight / 1.5;
}

hideEmptySummaryCells

Specifies whether or not to hide rows and columns with no data.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

hint

Specifies text for a hint that appears when a user pauses on the UI component.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

loadPanel

Specifies properties configuring the load panel.

Type:

Object

When PivotGrid operates with a large number of records or uses a remote storage as a data source, loading data takes time. As data is being prepared, PivotGrid displays a load panel.

The load panel consists of a pane, a loading indicator and a text. You can specify whether the pane or loading indicator must be displayed using the showPane or showIndicator properties respectively. The text displayed by the load panel can be specified using the text property. Also, you can change the height or width of the load panel using the corresponding properties of the loadPanel configuration object.

Since the grid load panel is practically the DevExtreme LoadPanel UI component, you can specify any property belonging to this UI component in the loadPanel object.

  • Use CSS to apply styles to a cellElement. The code below customizes font in a separate cell:

    jQuery
    index.js
    $(function() {
    $("#pivotGridContainer").dxPivotGrid({
        // ...
        onCellPrepared: function(e) {
            if(e.cell.rowPath === "rowName" && e.cell.columnPath === "columnName") {
                e.cellElement.css("font-size", "14px");
                e.cellElement.css("font-weight", "bold");
            }
        }
    });
});

    return (
        <PivotGrid ...
            onCellPrepared={customizeCells}

    );
}

  • Add a class to a cellElement. The following code adds a custom class to cells in the Grand Total row and column. This code also adds another class to all cells in the "row" and "column" areas:

    jQuery
    index.js
    $(function() {
    $("#pivotGridContainer").dxPivotGrid({
        // ...
        onCellPrepared: function(e) {
            if(e.cell.columnType === "GT" || e.cell.rowType === "GT")
                e.cellElement.addClass("your-custom-class");
            if(e.area === "row" || e.area === "column")
