The pivot chart control can be exported to following file formats:

  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Word
  • PDF
  • Image

To perform the exporting operation, the “Syncfusion.EJ.Export” dependency library should be referred in the application.

The pivot chart control can be exported with the help of “exportPivotChart” method by passing the method name and the file name as parameters. Refer to the following code snippet:

  • CSHTML
  • <ej-pivot-chart id="PivotChart1" is-responsive="true" load="Load" pre-render="preRender">
            <e-data-source>
                <e-pivot-rows>

                    <e-row-field field-name="Date" field-caption="Date"></e-row-field>
                </e-pivot-rows>
                <e-pivot-columns>
                    <e-column-field field-name="Country" field-caption="Country"></e-column-field>
                </e-pivot-columns>
                <e-pivot-values>
                    <e-value-field field-name="Amount" field-caption="Amount"></e-value-field>
                </e-pivot-values>

            }
       </script>

    The “Syncfusion.EJ.Export” namespace should be imported and the following method should be added in the MVC controller file of the application:

  • C#
  • //...
    using Syncfusion.EJ.Export;
    
    private IHttpContextAccessor _contextAccessor;
    
    public PivotChartController(IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor)
    {
        _contextAccessor = contextAccessor;
    }
    
    public ActionResult ExportToExcel()
    {
        PivotChartExcelExport pivotChart = new PivotChartExcelExport();
        var context = _contextAccessor.HttpContext;
        var args = context.Request.Form.ElementAt(0).Value;
        Dictionary<string, string> clientParams = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(args);
        clientParams["fileName"] = "sample";
        return pivotChart.ExportToExcel(clientParams);
    }

    Excel export

    The pivot chart allows you to export its content to an Excel document for future archival, references, and analysis purposes. This can be achieved with the help of “ExportToExcel” method by passing the file name as parameter.

  • JS
  • <script type="text/javascript">
    
            function exportButtonClick(args) {
                var PivotChartObj = $('#PivotChart1').data("ejPivotChart");
                var ChartObj = $("#" + PivotChartObj._id + "Container").data("ejChart");
                ChartObj.model.border.opacity = 1;
                ChartObj.redraw();
                PivotChartObj.exportPivotChart("ExportToExcel", "Sample", ej.PivotChart.ExportOptions.Excel);
            }
    
        </script>

    The following method should be added in the MVC controller file of the application:

  • C#
  • public ActionResult ExportToExcel()
    {
        PivotChartExcelExport pivotChart = new PivotChartExcelExport();
        var context = _contextAccessor.HttpContext;
        var args = context.Request.Form.ElementAt(0).Value;
        Dictionary<string, string> clientParams = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(args);
        clientParams["fileName"] = "sample";
        return pivotChart.ExportToExcel(clientParams);
    }

    Word export

    The pivot chart allows you to export its content to a Word document for future archival, references, and analysis purposes. This can be achieved with the help of “ExportToWord” method by passing the file name as parameter.

  • JS
  • <script type="text/javascript">
    
           function exportButtonClick(args) {
                var PivotChartObj = $('#PivotChart1').data("ejPivotChart");
                var ChartObj = $("#" + PivotChartObj._id + "Container").data("ejChart");
                ChartObj.model.size.width = "700px";
                ChartObj.redraw();
                PivotChartObj.exportPivotChart("ExportToWord", "Sample", ej.PivotChart.ExportOptions.Word);
                ChartObj.model.size.width = "100%";
                ChartObj.redraw();
            }
    
       </script>

    The following method should be added in the MVC controller file of the application:

  • C#
  • public ActionResult ExportToWord()
    {
        PivotChartWordExport pivotChart = new PivotChartWordExport();
        var context = _contextAccessor.HttpContext;
        var args = context.Request.Form.ElementAt(0).Value;
        Dictionary<string, string> clientParams = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(args);
        clientParams["fileName"] = "sample";
        return pivotChart.ExportToWord(clientParams);
    }

    PDF export

    The pivot chart allows you to export its content to a PDF document for future archival, references, and analysis purposes. This can be achieved with the help of “ExportToPDF” method by passing the file name as parameter.

  • JS
  • <script type="text/javascript">
    
           function exportButtonClick(args) {
                var PivotChartObj = $('#PivotChart1').data("ejPivotChart");
                var ChartObj = $("#" + PivotChartObj._id + "Container").data("ejChart");
                ChartObj.model.size.width = "500px";
                ChartObj.redraw();
                PivotChartObj.exportPivotChart("ExportToPDF", "Sample", ej.PivotChart.ExportOptions.PDF);
                ChartObj.model.size.width = "100%";
                ChartObj.redraw();
            }
    
       </script>

    The following method should be added in the MVC controller file of the application:

  • C#
  • public ActionResult ExportToPDF()
    {
        PivotChartPDFExport pivotChart = new PivotChartPDFExport();
        var context = _contextAccessor.HttpContext;
        var args = context.Request.Form.ElementAt(0).Value;
        Dictionary<string, string> clientParams = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(args);
        clientParams["fileName"] = "sample";
        return pivotChart.ExportToPDF(clientParams);
    }

    • PNG
    • EMF
    • JPG
    • GIF
    • BMP

    This can be achieved with the help of “ExportToImage” method by passing the file name and image format (ExportOptions.PNG) as parameters.

  • JS
  • <script type="text/javascript">
    
           function exportButtonClick(args) {
                var PivotChartObj = $('#PivotChart1').data("ejPivotChart");
                var ChartObj = $("#" + PivotChartObj._id + "Container").data("ejChart");
                ChartObj.model.border.opacity = 1;
                ChartObj.redraw();
                PivotChartObj.exportPivotChart("ExportToImage", "Sample", ej.PivotChart.ExportOptions.PNG);
            }
    
            function preRender(sender) {
                if (sender.model.theme.indexOf("light") > -1 || sender.model.theme == "bootstrap" || sender.model.theme == "material") {
                    sender.model.background = "white";
                    sender.model.chartArea.background = "white";
                }
                else {
                    sender.model.background = "black";
                    sender.model.chartArea.background = "black"
                }
            }
    
       </script>

    The following method should be added in the MVC controller file of the application:

  • C#
  • static string path = "E:\\";
    
    public void ExportToImage()
    {
        PivotChartImageExport pivotChart = new PivotChartImageExport();
        var context = _contextAccessor.HttpContext;
        var args = context.Request.Form.ElementAt(0).Value;
        Dictionary<string, string> clientParams = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(args);
