Row and Column in ASP.NET CORE Pivot Table Component

21 Dec 202224 minutes to read

Width and Height

Allows end user to set the pivot table’s height and width by using height and width properties in ejs-pivotview tag respectively. The supported formats to set height and width properties are,

Pixel: For example - 100, 200, “100px”, “200px”.
Percentage: For example - “100%”, “200%”.
Auto: It is applicable for height property alone in-order to render the pivot table beyond its parent container height without vertical scrollbar. The parent container here would show its vertical scrollbar as soon as the component reaches beyond its dimension.

NOTE

The pivot table will not be displayed less than 400px, since it’s the minimum width of the component.

Row Height

Allows end user to set the height of each pivot table rows commonly using the rowHeight property in e-gridSettings tag.

NOTE

By default, the rowHeight property is set as 36 pixels for desktop layout and 48 pixels for mobile layout.

The height of the column headers alone may vary when grouping bar feature is enabled.

In the below code sample, the rowHeight property is set as 60 pixels.

}

Column Width

Allows end user to set the width of each pivot table columns commonly using the columnWidth property in e-gridSettings tag.

NOTE

By default, the columnWidth property is set as 110 pixels to each columns except the first column. For first column, 250 pixels and 200 pixels are set respectively with and without grouping bar.

In the below example, the columnWidth property is set as 200 pixels.

Adjust width based on columns

By default, if the component width set in code-behind is more than the width of the total columns, then the columns will be stretched to make it fit. To avoid the stretching, set the allowAutoResizing property in the e-gridSettings to false. By doing so, the component will be adjusted (shrinked) based on the width of total columns.

Column Resizing

Allows end user to resize the columns by clicking and dragging the right edge of the column header. While dragging, the width of the respective column will be resized immediately. To enable column resizing option, set the allowResizing property in e-gridSettings tag to true.

NOTE

By default, the column resizing option is enabled.

In RTL mode, user can click and drag the left edge of the header cell to resize the column.

Text Align

Allows end user to align the content of the pivot table’s row and column headers and value cells by using the textAlign and headerTextAlign properties in the columnRender event under e-gridSettings. The following alignments are:

Left - It allows the content to be positioned on the left.
Right - It allows the content to be positioned on the right.
Center - It allows the content to be positioned in the middle.
Justify - It allows the content to be as flexible as possible, when the cell does not occupy the entire available area.

AutoFit

Allows the user to fit the Pivot Table columns as wide as the content of the cell without wrapping. It auto fits all of the Pivot Table columns by invoking the autoFitColumns method from the grid instance.

NOTE

The minimum width of 250 pixels is set by default with the grouping bar UI for the first column and cannot be reduced further. So, when the grouping bar is enabled, one can auto fit the Pivot Table columns by calling the autoFitColumns method from the grid instance with the parameter contained pivot table columns field name excluding first column.

Grid Lines

Allows end user to display cell border for each cells using gridLines property in e-gridSettings tag.

Available mode of grid lines are:

Modes	Actions
Both	Displays both the horizontal and vertical grid lines.
None	No grid lines are displayed.
Horizontal	Displays the horizontal grid lines only.
Vertical	Displays the vertical grid lines only.
Default	Displays grid lines based on the theme.

Selection

Selection provides an option to highlight a row or a column or a cell. It can be done through simple mouse down or arrow keys. To enable selection in the pivot table, set the allowSelection property in e-gridSettings tag to true.

The pivot table supports two types of selection that can be set using type property in e-selectionSettings tag. The selection types are:

Single: It is set by default, and it only allows selection of a single row or a column or a cell.
Multiple: Allows you to select multiple rows or columns or cells.
To perform multi-selection, press and hold “CTRL” key and click the desired rows or cells. To select range of rows or cells, press and hold the “SHIFT” key and click the rows or columns or cells.

Selection Mode

The pivot table supports four types of selection mode that can be set using mode property in e-selectionSettings tag.. The selection modes are:

Row: It is set by default, and allows user to select only rows.
Column: Allows user to select only columns.
Cell: Allows user to select only cells.
Both: Allows user to select rows and columns at the same time.

Cell Selection Mode

The pivot table supports two types of cell selection mode that can be set using cellSelectionMode in e-selectionSettings tag. The cell selection modes are:

PivotCellSelectionMode.Flow: It is set by default. The range of cells are selected between the start index and end index that includes in-between cells of rows.
PivotCellSelectionMode.Box: Range of cells are selected from the start and end column indexes that includes in-between cells of rows within the range.

NOTE

Cell selection requires mode property in PivotViewSelectionSettings tag to be Cell or Both, and type property should be Multiple.

Changing background color of the selected cell

The background-color of the selected cell can be changed using built-in CSS names. To do so, refer to the code sample below, which shows that the selected cells are changed to a green yellow color.

Event

CellSelected

The event cellSelected is triggered when cell selection gets completed. It provides selected cells information with its corresponding column and row headers. It has following parameters - selectedCellsInfo, currentCell and target. This event allows user to view selected cells information and user can pass those selected cells information to any external component for data binding.

Clip Mode

The clip mode provides options to display its overflow cell content in the pivot table. It can be configured using the clipMode property in PivotViewGridSettings tag. The pivot table supports three types of clip modes which are:

Clip: Truncates the cell content when it overflows its area.
Ellipsis: Displays ellipsis when the cell content overflows its area.
EllipsisWithTooltip: Displays ellipsis when the cell content overflows its area, also it will display the tooltip while hover on ellipsis is applied.

NOTE

By default, ClipMode value is set to Ellipsis.

Cell Template

User can customize the pivot table cell element by using the cellTemplate property in ejs-pivotview tag. The cellTemplate property accepts either an HTML string or the element’s ID, which can be used to append additional HTML elements to showcase each cell with custom format.

In this demo, the revenue cost for each year is represented with trend icons.
