PivotGrid Field List in WPF Pivot Grid

15 Jul 20215 minutes to read

With the current implementation of grouping bar, you cannot add the deleted items to the pivot grid. The delete operation can be easily performed in the grouping bar by using its “AllowRemoving” feature, but there is no possibility to add again the deleted items. To achieve this, maintain a separate window called PivotTable Field List, which holds the fields that are not present in the pivot grid but available in the ItemSource. You can bind a collection of PivotItems as PivotFields which gets included in the field list window but not present in the pivot grid.

The pivot table field list (or dynamic field list) can be launched by setting the ShowFieldList property to “true” or clicking the ShowFieldList menu item of grouping bar context menu. The field list is bound to PivotFields property of pivot grid control, which is a collection of PivotItems. This property can be set through XAML or code-behind.

For XAML, refer to the following code sample.

XAML

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

            <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: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.ShowFieldList = true;
    }
}
