PivotGrid Overview
The Kendo UI PivotGrid represents multidimensional data in a cross-tabular format.
Basic Configuration
To configure the PivotGrid to the Adventure Works cube that is hosted on http://demos.telerik.com, create the widget by defining an HTML <div> element.
<!-- Define the HTML div that will hold the PivotGrid -->
<div id="pivotgrid">
</div>
The following example demonstrates how to further configure the PivotGrid widget.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#pivotgrid").kendoPivotGrid({
height: 200, // Define the height of the widget.
dataSource: {
type: "xmla", // Define the type.
columns: [{ name: "[Date].[Calendar]" }], // Specify a dimension on columns.
rows: [{ name: "[Product].[Category]" }], // Specify a dimension on rows.
measures: ["[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]"], // Specify a measure to display.
transport: {
connection: {
catalog: "Adventure Works DW 2008R2", // Specify the name of the catalog.
cube: "Adventure Works" // Specify the name of the cube.
},
read: {
url: "http://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll", // Define the URL of the service.
dataType: "text",
contentType: "text/xml",
type: "POST"
}
},
schema: {
type: "xmla" // Specify the type of the schema.
},
}
});
});
</script>
The previous example outputs the following result.
Functionality and Features
Referencing Existing Instances
To reference an existing PivotGrid instance, use the jQuery.data() method. Once a reference has been established, use the PivotGrid API to control its behavior.
The following example demonstrates how to access an existing PivotGrid instance.
var pivotgrid = $("#pivotgrid").data("kendoPivotGrid");
