The new PivotGridV2 is now available. It offers a brand new design and a new future-proof architecture that allows the implementation of many upcoming functionalities. As PivotGridV2 aims to replace the legacy PivotGrid, it is recommended to use the PivotGridV2 in your new projects. For information about the differences between the PivotGrid and PivotGridV2, refer to the Comparison article.

Basic Configuration

To configure the PivotGrid for Ajax binding to an Adventure Works cube that is hosted on https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll, follow the next steps:

1. Create a new ASP.NET MVC application. If you have the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio Extensions installed, create a Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC application. Name the application KendoPivotGrid. If you decide not to use the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio Extensions, follow the steps from the introductory article to add Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC to the application.

2. Add a PivotGrid to the Index View.

       @(Html.Kendo().PivotConfigurator()
           .Name("configurator")
           .Filterable(true)
           .Sortable()
           .Height(570)
       )
   
       @(Html.Kendo().PivotGrid()

           .Filterable(true)
           .Sortable()
           .Configurator("#configurator")
           .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.

                   columns.Add("[Product].[Category]");
               })
               .Rows(rows => rows.Add("[Geography].[City]"))
               .Measures(measures => measures.Values(new string[]{"[Measures].[Reseller Freight Cost]"}))
               .Transport(transport => transport
                   .Connection(connection => connection
                       .Catalog("Adventure Works DW 2008R2")
                       .Cube("Adventure Works"))

                       .Url("https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll")
                       .DataType("text")
