Calculated field

24 May 20199 minutes to read

NOTE

This feature is applicable only for the relational data source.

The pivot grid provides support to insert a new calculated field based on existing pivot fields through the Calculated Field dialog or code behind.

Through UI

To insert a new calculated Field, open the Calculated Field dialog using the grouping bar context menu. You can define “Name” for the new calculated field and “Formula” can be entered by inserting required fields through the fields section. For inserting numbers and operators, you can use formula pop-up as shown in the following screenshot:

Click Add to add the respective Calculated Field and OK to populate the pivot grid control.

Through code-behind

The calculated field can be created at code-behind by defining formula based on existing Pivot Fields in the pivot grid. To indicate a field as a calculated field, set the isCalculatedField property to true and formula property to set the expression.
