DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid 26.1.5-pre-26227

DevExpress WinForms Pivot Grid

The DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid package includes the DevExpress Pivot Grid control for WinForms applications. Use the PivotGridControl to summarize, organize, and analyze large volumes of data in an Excel-like cross-tabular layout.

The control allows users to rearrange fields, group and filter data, calculate summaries, drill down to underlying records, apply conditional formatting, and export analysis results.

Key Features

• Data Summaries - Calculates totals and summaries such as Sum, Average, Count, Minimum, and Maximum.
• Data Shaping - Supports sorting, grouping, filtering, field reordering, and Top N value analysis.
• Drill-Down - Retrieves the source records used to calculate an individual summary value.
• Conditional Formatting - Highlights important values with appearance rules, color scales, data bars, and icons.
• Data Binding - Connects the Pivot Grid to collections, databases, server-mode sources, Excel files, and OLAP cubes.
• Layout Persistence - Saves and restores field positions, sorting, grouping, filtering, and other layout settings.
• Printing and Export - Prints Pivot Grid data and exports it to PDF, HTML, MHT, RTF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, XLS, and XLSX formats.

Examples

Install the DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid package:

dotnet add package DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid

For .NET projects, additionally install the DevExpress.Win.Design package.

Add the Pivot Grid control from the Toolbox to a WinForms form.

Display and Configure a Pivot Grid

The following example assumes that a PivotGridControl named pivotGridControl1 has already been added to a WinForms form.

using DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public partial class MainForm : Form {
    public MainForm() {
        InitializeComponent();

        pivotGridControl1.DataSource = new List<Sale> {
            new("Europe", "Beverages", 1200m),
            new("Europe", "Food", 850m),
            new("North America", "Beverages", 1500m),
            new("North America", "Food", 1100m)
        };

        pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add(
            new PivotGridField(nameof(Sale.Region), PivotArea.RowArea));

        pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add(
            new PivotGridField(nameof(Sale.Category), PivotArea.ColumnArea));

        var salesField = new PivotGridField(
            nameof(Sale.Amount),
            PivotArea.DataArea) {
            Caption = "Sales",
            SummaryType = PivotSummaryType.Sum
        };

        pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add(salesField);
    }
}

public record Sale(string Region, string Category, decimal Amount);

Users can drag field headers between the row, column, data, and filter areas to change how the Pivot Grid organizes and summarizes data.

Export Pivot Grid Data to XLSX

The following example exports the current Pivot Grid data and layout to an XLSX file.

using DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid;

private void ExportToXlsx(string filePath) {
    var options = new PivotXlsxExportOptions {
        ExportType = DevExpress.Export.ExportType.DataAware
    };

    pivotGridControl1.ExportToXlsx(filePath, options);
}

The data-aware export mode creates an editable Excel document and preserves Pivot Grid data-shaping information where supported.

Always validate and normalize file paths obtained from external or untrusted sources before you use them for export.

Save and Restore the Pivot Grid Layout

The following example saves the Pivot Grid layout to an XML file and restores it later.

private void SaveLayout(string filePath) {
    pivotGridControl1.SaveLayoutToXml(filePath);
}

private void RestoreLayout(string filePath) {
    pivotGridControl1.RestoreLayoutFromXml(filePath);
}

Assign a unique Name to each Pivot Grid field to ensure that field settings are restored correctly.
