dataSource Object|kendo.data.PivotDataSourceV2

The data source of the widget which is used to display values. Can be a JavaScript object which represents a valid data source configuration or an existing kendo.data.PivotDataSourceV2 instance.

If the dataSource option is set to a JavaScript object the widget will initialize a new kendo.data.PivotDataSourceV2 instance using that value as data source configuration.

If the dataSource option is an existing kendo.data.PivotDataSourceV2 instance the widget will use that instance and will not initialize a new one.

Example - set dataSource as a JavaScript object

<div id="pivotgrid"></div>
<script>
$("#pivotgrid").kendoPivotGridV2({
    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: 'https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll'
        }
    }
});
</script>

Example - set dataSource as an existing kendo.data.PivotDataSourceV2 instance

<div id="pivotgrid"></div>
<script>
var dataSource = new kendo.data.PivotDataSourceV2({
    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: 'https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll'
    }
