Toolbar in Blazor Pivot Table Component

4 Aug 202122 minutes to read

Toolbar option allows to access the frequently used features like switching between pivot table and pivot chart, changing chart types, conditional formatting, exporting, etc… with ease at runtime. This option can be enabled by setting the ShowToolbar property in SfPivotView class to true. The Toolbar property in SfPivotView class accepts the collection of built-in toolbar options.

Built-in Toolbar Options

The following table shows built-in toolbar options and its actions.

Built-in Toolbar Options	Actions
New	Creates a new report
Save	Saves the current report
Save As	Save as current report
Rename	Renames the current report
Delete	Deletes the current report
Load	Loads any report from the report list
Grid	Shows pivot table
Chart	Shows a chart in any type from the built-in list and option to enable/disable multiple axes
Exporting	Exports the pivot table as PDF/Excel/CSV and the pivot chart as PDF and image
Sub-total	Shows or hides sub totals
Grand Total	Shows or hides grand totals
Conditional Formatting	Shows the conditional formatting pop-up to apply formatting
Number Formatting	Shows the number formatting pop-up to apply number formatting
Field List	Shows the fieldlist pop-up
MDX	Shows the MDX query that was run to retrieve data from the OLAP data source. NOTE: This applies only to the OLAP data source.

The order of toolbar options can be changed by simply moving the position of items in the ToolbarItems collection. Also if end user wants to remove any toolbar option from getting displayed, it can be simply ignored from adding into the ToolbarItems collection.

Show desired chart types in the dropdown menu

By default, all chart types are displayed in the dropdown menu included in the toolbar. However, based on the request for an application, we may need to show selective chart types on our own. This can be achieved using the ChartTypes property. To know more about supporting chart types, click here.
