Expression Fields in WPF Pivot Grid

The pivot grid supports adding expression fields and handles other features similar to normal fields. You can add new expression field information by using the AllowedFields class in the pivot grid control and you can use the following property to load the allowed fields in the pivot grid:

• LoadWithDefaultPropertyFields: Gets or sets a value indicating whether the pivot grid control loads with default property fields for expression support.

This property can be defined either in XAML or code-behind. For XAML, refer to the following code sample.

xaml

<Grid>
        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="pivotGrid" VerticalAlignment="Top" VisualStyle="Metro"
            LoadWithDefaultPropertyFields="True"  ItemSource="{Binding   Source={StaticResource data}}" >
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Product" FieldMappingName="Product" TotalHeader="Total" ShowSubTotal="False" />
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Country" FieldMappingName="Country" TotalHeader="Total" />
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Date" FieldMappingName="Date" TotalHeader="Total"/>
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="State" FieldMappingName="State" TotalHeader="Total"/>
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
                <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" FieldName = "Amount" Format="C" SummaryType="DoubleTotalSum" />
                <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" FieldName = "Quantity" SummaryType="Count" />
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl>
    </Grid>

For code-behind, refer to the following code sample.

c#

public partial class MainWindow: Window {
    PivotGridControl pivotGrid = new PivotGridControl();
    public MainWindow() {
        InitializeComponent();
        grid1.Children.Add(pivotGrid);
        pivotGrid.ItemSource = ProductSales.GetSalesData();
        PivotItem m_PivotItem = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Product", FieldMappingName = "Product", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem m_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Date", FieldMappingName = "Date", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem n_PivotItem = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Country", FieldMappingName = "Country", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem n_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "State", FieldMappingName = "State", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        // Adding PivotItem to PivotRows
        pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem);
        pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem1);
        // Adding PivotItem to PivotColumns
        pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem);
        pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem1);
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "Amount", FieldName = "Amount", Format = "C", SummaryType = SummaryType.DoubleTotalSum
        };
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo1 = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "Quantity", FieldName = "Quantity", SummaryType = SummaryType.Count
        };
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo);
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo1);

        pivotGrid.LoadWithDefaultPropertyFields = true;
    }
}

Creating the expression fields

FieldInfo class is used to create the expression fields that are added to the AllowedFields collection of pivot grid control. This can be done either in XAML or code-behind.

For XAML, refer to the following code sample.

xaml

<syncfusion:PivotGridControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="pivotGrid" VerticalAlignment="Top" VisualStyle="Metro"
        LoadWithDefaultPropertyFields="True"  ItemSource="{Binding   Source={StaticResource data}}" >

        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.AllowedFields>
            <syncfusion:FieldInfo Name="UnitPrice" Expression="[Amount] + [Quantity]" FieldType="Expression" />
        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.AllowedFields>

        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
            <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Product" FieldMappingName="Product" TotalHeader="Total" />
            <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Date" FieldMappingName="Date" TotalHeader="Total"/>
        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
            <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Country" FieldMappingName="Country" TotalHeader="Total" />
            <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="State" FieldMappingName="State" TotalHeader="Total"/>
        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
            <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" FieldName = "Amount" Format="C" SummaryType="DoubleTotalSum" />
            <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" FieldName = "Quantity" SummaryType="Count" />
            <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" Description = "Summation of values" FieldName = "UnitPrice"      FieldHeader="Unit Price" Format = "C" SummaryType="DoubleTotalSum"/>
        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
    </syncfusion:PivotGridControl>

For code-behind, refer to the following code sample.

c#

public partial class MainWindow: Window {
    PivotGridControl pivotGrid = new PivotGridControl();
    public MainWindow() {
        InitializeComponent();
        grid1.Children.Add(pivotGrid);
        pivotGrid.ItemSource = ProductSales.GetSalesData();
        PivotItem m_PivotItem = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Product", FieldMappingName = "Product", ShowSubTotal = false, TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem m_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Date", FieldMappingName = "Date", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem n_PivotItem = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "Country", FieldMappingName = "Country", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        PivotItem n_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() {
            FieldHeader = "State", FieldMappingName = "State", TotalHeader = "Total"
        };
        // Adding PivotItem to PivotRows
        pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem);
        pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem1);
        // Adding PivotItem to PivotColumns
        pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem);
        pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem1);
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "Amount", FieldName = "Amount", Format = "C", SummaryType = Syncfusion.PivotAnalysis.Base.SummaryType.DoubleTotalSum
        };
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo1 = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "Quantity", FieldName = "Quantity", SummaryType = Syncfusion.PivotAnalysis.Base.SummaryType.Count
        };
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo);
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo1);

        FieldInfo field1 = new FieldInfo {
            Name = "UnitPrice", Expression = "[Amount] + [Quantity]", FieldType = FieldTypes.Expression
        };
        pivotGrid.AllowedFields.Add(field1);
        PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo2 = new PivotComputationInfo() {
            CalculationName = "UnitPrice", FieldName = "Unit Price", Format = "C", SummaryType = Syncfusion.PivotAnalysis.Base.SummaryType.DoubleTotalSum
        };
        pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo2);
    }
}
