dataSource kendo.data.PivotDataSource

The data source of the widget. Configured via the dataSource option.

Changes of the data source will be reflected in the widget.

Assigning a new data source would have no effect. Use the setDataSource method instead.

Example - get reference to the widget data source

<div id="pivotgrid"></div>
<script>
$("#pivotgrid").kendoPivotGrid({
    height: 550,
    dataSource: {
        type: "xmla",
        columns: [{ name: "[Date].[Calendar]", expand: true }, { name: "[Geography].[City]" } ],
        rows: [{ name: "[Product].[Product]" }],
        measures: ["[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]"],
        transport: {
            connection: {
                catalog: "Adventure Works DW 2008R2",
                cube: "Adventure Works"
            },
            read: {
                url: "https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll",
                dataType: "text",
                contentType: "text/xml",
                type: "POST"
            }
        },
        schema: {
            type: "xmla"
        }
    }
});

//get reference to the widget data source
var dataSource = $("#pivotgrid").data("kendoPivotGrid").dataSource;
</script>
