Create Pivot Table

It is possible to use Aspose.Cells for Node.js via C++ to add pivot tables to spreadsheets programmatically.

Pivot Table Object Model

Aspose.Cells for Node.js via C++ provides a special set of classes that are used to create and control pivot tables. These classes are used to create and set PivotTable objects, the building blocks of a pivot table. The objects are:

• PivotField represents a field in a PivotTable.
• PivotFieldCollection represents a collection of all the PivotField objects in the PivotTable.
• PivotTable represents a PivotTable on a worksheet.
• PivotTableCollection represents a collection of all the PivotTable objects on a worksheet.

Creating a Simple Pivot Table Using Aspose.Cells

1. Add data to a worksheet using the Cell object’s putValue method. This data will be used as the pivot table’s data source.
2. Add a pivot table to the worksheet by calling the PivotTables collection’s add method, which is encapsulated in the Worksheet object.
3. Access the new PivotTable object from the PivotTables collection by passing the PivotTable index.
4. Use any of the PivotTable objects (explained above) to manage the pivot table.

After executing the example code, a pivot table is added to the worksheet.

When assigning a range of cells as the data source, the range must go from top left to bottom right. For example, “A1:C3” is valid but “C3:A1” is not.
