Excel.PivotField class

  • Reference
Package:
excel

Represents the Excel PivotField.

Extends
OfficeExtension.ClientObject

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.8 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
id

ID of the PivotField.
items

Returns the PivotItems associated with the PivotField.
name

Name of the PivotField.
showAllItems

Determines whether to show all items of the PivotField.
subtotals

Subtotals of the PivotField.

Methods

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.
set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
sortByLabels(sortBy)

Sorts the PivotField. If a DataPivotHierarchy is specified, then sort will be applied based on it, if not sort will be based on the PivotField itself.
toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.PivotField object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.PivotFieldData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
