    //Blazor PivotTable Component script reference.
    <!-- <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.PivotTable/scripts/sf-pivotview.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> -->
</head>

NOTE

Learn more about referencing themes in the Blazor Themes guide. Explore different methods, such as Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG. For adding script references, refer to the Adding Script Reference guide.

Initialize the Blazor Pivot Table component

To display the Pivot Table, add the component to the ~/Pages/Index.razor file. Use the SfPivotView component with the specified data type.

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails"></SfPivotView>

Assigning sample data to the Blazor Pivot Table

To enable users to perform meaningful analysis and generate actionable insights, the Pivot Table component requires a well-structured data source. This data source contains the information you want to analyze and visualize.

For demonstration purposes, a collection of objects containing sales details for various products across different periods and regions has been prepared. This sample data is assigned to the Pivot Table component through the DataSource property under the PivotViewDataSourceSettings class.

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails">
     <PivotViewDataSourceSettings DataSource="@dataSource">
    </PivotViewDataSourceSettings>
</SfPivotView>

@code{
    public List<ProductDetails> dataSource { get; set; }
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        this.dataSource = ProductDetails.GetProductData().ToList();
    }

    public class ProductDetails
    {
        public int Sold { get; set; }
        public double Amount { get; set; }
        public string Country { get; set; }
        public string Products { get; set; }
        public string Year { get; set; }
        public string Quarter { get; set; }

        public static List<ProductDetails> GetProductData()
        {
            List<ProductDetails> productData = new List<ProductDetails>();
            productData.Add(new ProductDetails { Sold = 31, Amount = 52824, Country = "France", Products = "Mountain Bikes", Year = "FY 2022", Quarter = "Q1" });

Adding fields to row, column, value, and filter axes

Organizing fields into appropriate axes transforms raw data into a structured, meaningful Pivot Table that enables users to analyze patterns and trends effectively. With the Pivot Table now initialized and populated with sample data, the next logical step involves organizing the appropriate fields into row, column, value, and filter axes to create a functional data analysis tool.

In the PivotViewDataSourceSettings class, four primary axes play a crucial role in defining and organizing fields from the bound data source to render the Pivot Table component in the desired format.

Understanding the four axes:

  • PivotViewRows – Collection of fields that will be displayed along the row axis of the Pivot Table.
  • PivotViewColumns – Collection of fields that will be displayed along the column axis of the Pivot Table.
  • PivotViewValues – Collection of fields that will be displayed as aggregated numeric values within the Pivot Table.
  • PivotViewFilters – Collection of fields that act as master filters over the data bound to the row, column, and value axes of the Pivot Table.

Essential field properties:

To define each field in its respective axis, configure the following basic properties:

  • Name: Sets the field name from the bound data source. The casing must match exactly as it appears in the data source, otherwise the Pivot Table will not render correctly.
  • Caption: Sets the field caption, which serves as the display name for the field in the Pivot Table.
  • Type: Sets the summary type for the field. By default, the SummaryTypes.Sum aggregation is applied.

Applying formatting to a value field

Formatting enhances the readability and presentation of numerical data in a Pivot Table, making it more user-friendly and professional. For example, you can display values with currency symbols or adjust the number of decimal places for greater clarity.

To apply formatting to value fields in a Pivot Table, use the PivotViewFormatSettings class. This class accepts a list of PivotViewFormatSetting objects, each defining formatting rules for a specific field in your data.

Within each PivotViewFormatSetting object, set the Name property to match the exact field name from your value section. Then, specify the desired display format using the Format property. In the example below, the Amount field is configured to display values in currency format using the “C” pattern, which includes currency symbols.

NOTE

Formatting can only be applied to numeric fields in the value section of the Pivot Table.

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails" Height="300">
     <PivotViewDataSourceSettings DataSource="@dataSource">
        <PivotViewColumns>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Year"></PivotViewColumn>

Enable Field List

The field list enhances user interaction by allowing you to dynamically add, remove, and rearrange fields across different axes, including column, row, value, and filter axes. This user-friendly interface also provides sorting and filtering options that can be applied at runtime without requiring code changes.

To enable the field list, set the ShowFieldList property in the SfPivotView class to true. This activates the field list interface, making it accessible to users to modify Pivot Table report settings. For comprehensive details about field list functionality, refer to the dedicated field list documentation.

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails" ShowFieldList="true" Height="300">
     <PivotViewDataSourceSettings DataSource="@dataSource">
        <PivotViewColumns>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Year"></PivotViewColumn>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Quarter"></PivotViewColumn>
        </PivotViewColumns>
        <PivotViewRows>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Country"></PivotViewRow>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Products"></PivotViewRow>
        </PivotViewRows>
        <PivotViewValues>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Sold" Caption="Units Sold"></PivotViewValue>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Amount" Caption="Sold Amount"></PivotViewValue>
        </PivotViewValues>
        <PivotViewFormatSettings>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Amount" Format="C"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
        </PivotViewFormatSettings>

Enable Grouping Bar

The grouping bar allows users to easily manage and modify the report settings of the Pivot Table directly through the user interface. With the grouping bar, users can instantly move fields between columns, rows, values, and filters by dragging them, allowing for quick arrangement and analysis of the data.

Users can also use the grouping bar to sort, filter, or remove fields quickly without needing to write any code. To enable the grouping bar, set the ShowGroupingBar property in the SfPivotView class to true. For more details about using the grouping bar, see the Grouping Bar documentation.

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails" ShowGroupingBar="true" Height="300">
     <PivotViewDataSourceSettings DataSource="@dataSource">
        <PivotViewColumns>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Year"></PivotViewColumn>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Quarter"></PivotViewColumn>
        </PivotViewColumns>
        <PivotViewRows>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Country"></PivotViewRow>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Products"></PivotViewRow>
        </PivotViewRows>
        <PivotViewValues>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Sold" Caption="Units Sold"></PivotViewValue>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Amount" Caption="Sold Amount"></PivotViewValue>
        </PivotViewValues>
        <PivotViewFormatSettings>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Amount" Format="C"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
        </PivotViewFormatSettings>
    </PivotViewDataSourceSettings>
</SfPivotView>

@code{
    public List<ProductDetails> dataSource { get; set; }
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        this.dataSource = ProductDetails.GetProductData().ToList();
        //Bind the data source collection here. Refer "Assigning sample data to the pivot table" (https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/pivot-table/getting-started#assigning-sample-data-to-the-blazor-pivot-table) section for more details.

Exploring Filter Axis

The filter axis lets you show only the data you need in the Blazor Pivot Table, making analysis simpler. You can add fields to the filter axis to control what data appears in the PivotViewRows, PivotViewColumns, and PivotViewValues axes. You can set up these fields in two ways: by adding them to the PivotViewFilters collection in your code, or by dragging and dropping fields from other axes to the filter axis using the grouping bar or field list during runtime. This helps you focus on specific data without changing the Pivot Table’s structure.

The following example shows how to add a field to the filter axis in a Blazor Pivot Table:

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails" ShowGroupingBar="true" ShowFieldList="true" Height="300">
     <PivotViewDataSourceSettings DataSource="@dataSource">
        <PivotViewColumns>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Year"></PivotViewColumn>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Quarter"></PivotViewColumn>
        </PivotViewColumns>
        <PivotViewRows>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Products"></PivotViewRow>
        </PivotViewRows>
        <PivotViewFilters>
            <PivotViewFilter Name="Country"></PivotViewFilter>
        </PivotViewFilters>
        <PivotViewValues>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Sold" Caption="Units Sold"></PivotViewValue>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Amount" Caption="Sold Amount"></PivotViewValue>
        </PivotViewValues>
        <PivotViewFormatSettings>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Amount" Format="C"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
        </PivotViewFormatSettings>
    </PivotViewDataSourceSettings>
</SfPivotView>

@code{
    public List<ProductDetails> dataSource { get; set; }
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        this.dataSource = ProductDetails.GetProductData().ToList();
        //Bind the data source collection here. Refer "Assigning sample data to the pivot table" (https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/pivot-table/getting-started#assigning-sample-data-to-the-blazor-pivot-table) section for more details.

Calculated Field

The calculated field feature enables users to create custom value fields using mathematical formulas and existing fields from their data source. Users can perform complex calculations with basic arithmetic operators and seamlessly integrate these custom fields into their Pivot Table for enhanced data visualization and reporting.

Users can add calculated fields in two ways:

  • Using code: Set up calculated fields through the PivotViewCalculatedFieldSettings class when configuring the Pivot Table.
  • Using the user interface: Alternatively, calculated fields can be added at runtime through a built-in dialog by setting the AllowCalculatedField property in the SfPivotView class to true. When enabled, a button appears in the Field List UI. Clicking this button opens a dialog that allows users to create, edit, or remove calculated fields at runtime. To learn more about calculated fields, refer here.

NOTE

By default, the calculated fields created through code-behind are only added to the field list and calculated field dialog UI. To display the calculated field in the Pivot Table UI, it must be added to the PivotViewValues class, as shown in the code below. Additionally, calculated fields can only be added to the value axis.

Below is a sample code that shows how to set up calculated fields both through code-behind and using the popup dialog:

<SfPivotView TValue="ProductDetails" ShowFieldList="true" AllowCalculatedField="true" Height="300">
     <PivotViewDataSourceSettings DataSource="@dataSource">
        <PivotViewColumns>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Year"></PivotViewColumn>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Quarter"></PivotViewColumn>
        </PivotViewColumns>
        <PivotViewRows>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Country"></PivotViewRow>
            <PivotViewRow Name="Products"></PivotViewRow>
        </PivotViewRows>
        <PivotViewValues>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Sold" Caption="Unit Sold"></PivotViewValue>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Amount" Caption="Sold Amount"></PivotViewValue>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Total" Caption="Total Amount"></PivotViewValue>
        </PivotViewValues>
        <PivotViewFormatSettings>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Amount" Format="C"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Total" Format="C"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
        </PivotViewFormatSettings>
        <PivotViewCalculatedFieldSettings>
            <PivotViewCalculatedFieldSetting Name="Total" Formula="@totalPrice"></PivotViewCalculatedFieldSetting>
        </PivotViewCalculatedFieldSettings>
    </PivotViewDataSourceSettings>
</SfPivotView>

@code{
    public string totalPrice = "\"" + "Sum(Amount)" + "\"" + "+" + "\"" + "Sum(Sold)" + "\"";
    public List<ProductDetails> dataSource { get; set; }
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        this.dataSource = ProductDetails.GetProductData().ToList();
        //Bind the data source collection here. Refer "Assigning sample data to the pivot table" (https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/pivot-table/getting-started#assigning-sample-data-to-the-blazor-pivot-table) section for more details.

Handling exceptions

You can handle errors that occur during Pivot Table actions without stopping your application. Use the OnActionFailure event to capture error messages or details from the server. We recommend binding this event while building your app, as it helps you identify issues early. You can share these error details with our support team to get help quickly.

The following code example shows how to display a server-side error message to the user when a data operation fails:

<span class="error">@ErrorDetails</span>
<SfPivotView TValue="PivotViewData" Width="100%" Height="450" AllowDataCompression="true" EnableVirtualization="true" ShowFieldList="true" ShowGroupingBar="true" MaxNodeLimitInMemberEditor="50">
    <PivotViewDataSourceSettings TValue="PivotViewData" Url="https://some.com/invalidUrl" ExpandAll="false" EnableSorting="true" EnableServerSideAggregation="true" AlwaysShowValueHeader="true">
        <PivotViewColumns>
            <PivotViewColumn Name="Year" Caption="Production Year"></PivotViewColumn>
        </PivotViewColumns>
        <PivotViewRows>
            <PivotViewRow Name="ProductID" Caption="Product ID"></PivotViewRow>
        </PivotViewRows>
        <PivotViewValues>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Sold" Caption="Unit Sold"></PivotViewValue>
            <PivotViewValue Name="Price" Caption="Unit Amount"></PivotViewValue>
        </PivotViewValues>
        <PivotViewFormatSettings>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Price" Format="C0"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
            <PivotViewFormatSetting Name="Sold" Format="N0"></PivotViewFormatSetting>
        </PivotViewFormatSettings>
    </PivotViewDataSourceSettings>
    <PivotViewGridSettings ColumnWidth="120"></PivotViewGridSettings>
    <PivotViewEvents TValue="PivotViewData" OnActionFailure="ActionFailure"></PivotViewEvents>
</SfPivotView>

<style>
    .error {
        color: red;
    }
</style>

@code{
    public string ErrorDetails = "";
    public class PivotViewData
    {
        public string ProductID { get; set; }
        public string Country { get; set; }
        public string Product { get; set; }
        public double Sold { get; set; }
        public double Price { get; set; }
        public string Year { get; set; }
    }
    public void ActionFailure(PivotActionFailureEventArgs args)
    {
        this.ErrorDetails = args.ErrorInfo.Message;
        StateHasChanged();
    }
}
