Export Header Areas

The example below demonstrates how to add the Data, Row and Column header areas in the Excel document. The solution is to add a new row at the beginning of the document and populate it with the appropriate field names. You can access the spreadsheet on PivotGridInfrastructureExporting event handler and use ShiftRowsDown to insert a row at the beginning of the document.

protected void RadPivotGrid1_PivotGridInfrastructureExporting(object sender, PivotGridInfrastructureExportingEventArgs e)
{
    e.ExportStructure.Tables[0].ShiftRowsDown(1, 1);

    foreach (var field in RadPivotGrid1.Fields)
    {
        if (!field.IsHidden)
        {
            switch (field.FieldType)
            {
                case "PivotGridRowField":
                    e.ExportStructure.Tables[0].Cells[1, 2].Value += field.DataField + " ";
                    break;
                case "PivotGridColumnField":
                    e.ExportStructure.Tables[0].Cells[2, 1].Value += field.DataField + " ";
                    break;
                case "PivotGridAggregateField":
                    e.ExportStructure.Tables[0].Cells[1, 1].Value += field.DataField + " ";
                    break;
                default:
                    break;

            }
        }
    }
}
Protected Sub RadPivotGrid1_PivotGridInfrastructureExporting(sender As Object, e As PivotGridInfrastructureExportingEventArgs)
    e.ExportStructure.Tables(0).ShiftRowsDown(1, 1)

    For Each field As var In RadPivotGrid1.Fields
        If Not field.IsHidden Then
            Select Case field.FieldType
                Case "PivotGridRowField"
                    e.ExportStructure.Tables(0).Cells(1, 2).Value += field.DataField + " "
                    Exit Select
                Case "PivotGridColumnField"
                    e.ExportStructure.Tables(0).Cells(2, 1).Value += field.DataField + " "
                    Exit Select
                Case "PivotGridAggregateField"
                    e.ExportStructure.Tables(0).Cells(1, 1).Value += field.DataField + " "
                    Exit Select
                Case Else
                    Exit Select

            End Select
        End If
    Next
End Sub
