HTML

<div ng-controller="PivotGridCtrl">
    <div id="PivotGrid1" ej-pivotgrid e-url="url" e-hyperlinksettings="hyperLinkSettings" e-valuecellhyperlinkclick="cellClick" e-rowheaderhyperlinkclick="cellClick" e-columnheaderhyperlinkclick="cellClick" e-summarycellhyperlinkclick="cellClick" />
</div>
<script>
    angular.module("PivotGridApp",["ejangular"]).controller('PivotGridCtrl', function ($scope) {
        //..
        $scope.hyperLinkSettings = {
            enableValueCellHyperlink: true,
            enableRowHeaderHyperlink: true,
            enableColumnHeaderHyperlink: true,
            enableSummaryCellHyperlink: true
        };
        $scope.cellClick = function (args) { alert("Cell click event is fired") };
    });
</script>

Selection

You can select a particular range of value cells from PivotGrid and manipulate/display them. Cell selection is applicable only for value cells and you can enable this functionality by setting e-enableCellSelection property to true.

The e-cellSelection event would be triggered as soon as the selection process is over, that is, when the mouse left click is released. The event argument contains a collection of JSON records and header values, which contains information about the selected cells.

HTML

<div ng-controller="PivotGridCtrl">
    <div id="PivotGrid1" ej-pivotgrid e-url="url" e-enableCellSelection="true" e-cellSelection="cellClick" />
</div>
<script>
    angular.module("PivotGridApp",["ejangular"]).controller('PivotGridCtrl', function ($scope) {
        //..
        $scope.cellClick = function(evt) {
            //This event lets you to perform required operation with the selected range of cells.
            cellvalue = evt.JSONRecords;
            rowheaders = evt.rowHeader;
            colheaders = evt.columnHeader;
        };
    });
</script>

Cell Context

Cell context allows user to perform any custom operation on cell right-click. For example, you can create and display context menu on cell right-click.

Cell context is enabled by setting the e-enableCellContext property to true. The e-cellContext event would be raised as soon as right-click is done providing cell information through event argument.

HTML

<div ng-controller="PivotGridCtrl">
    <div id="PivotGrid1" ej-pivotgrid e-url="url" e-enableCellContext="true" e-cellContext="cellRightClick" />
</div>
<script>
    angular.module("PivotGridApp",["ejangular"]).controller('PivotGridCtrl', function ($scope) {
        //..
        $scope.cellRightClick = function(evt) {
            //You can write your code here
        };
    });
</script>

Conditional Formatting

Conditional formatting in PivotGrid allows user to highlight particular cells with certain color, font-style, font-family etc. based on the condition they have met. Also the condition can be applied for certain Measure alone.

Conditional formatting is enabled by setting e-enableConditionalFormatting property to true and the formatting dialog is launched when “createConditionalDialog” method is invoked.

HTML

<div ng-controller="PivotGridCtrl">
    <div id="PivotGrid1" ej-pivotgrid e-enableConditionalFormatting="true" />
</div>
<button id="ApplyBtn" class="ang-pivotgrid" ej-button e-showroundedcorner="true" e-size="small" e-click="ApplyChanges">Apply</button>
<script>
    angular.module("PivotGridApp",["ejangular"]).controller('PivotGridCtrl', function ($scope) {
        ///...
        $scope.ApplyChanges = function (e) {
            var pivotGridObj = $('#PivotGrid1').data("ejPivotGrid");
            if (pivotGridObj.model.enableConditionalFormatting) {
                pivotGridObj.createConditionalDialog();
            }
        };
    });
