In this article, you’ll learn how to create Pivot Table in Excel and sort or hide the Pivot Table data or items programmatically in C# using Aspose.Cells for .NET – .NET API to create and manipulate Excel spreadsheets without requiring Microsoft Excel.
Pivot Tables in Excel
Things have gone digital and automated solutions for the generation and manipulation of Excel spreadsheets are widely used. The Pivot Tables in Excel are extensively used to summarize and analyze the data. Whereas sorting the data in the Pivot Tables is very useful for critical inspection of the huge data in Excel spreadsheets. The sorting of data in Pivot Tables can be applied for arranging the items alphabetically (A-Z or Z-A) for text values or from the highest to lowest or lowest to highest values in case of numbers.
Based on the importance of Excel Pivot Tables, this article aims to show you how to:
- create a Pivot Table in Excel,
- sort Pivot Table by row field values,
- sort Pivot Table by column field values,
- and hide Pivot Table rows.
For the demonstration, the following sample Excel spreadsheet will be used throughout the examples.
Create a Pivot Table in Excel using C#
Let’s first check out how to create an Excel Pivot Table in C# using Aspose.Cells for .NET. Once we have created the Pivot Table, we’ll hide the rows and sort the data based on its column or the row fields. The following code sample shows how to create an Excel Pivot Table.
