Calculated field in EJ2 TypeScript Pivotview control

10 Jul 202424 minutes to read

Allows end user to create a new calculated field in the pivot table, based on available fields from the bound data source or using simple formula with basic arithmetic operators. It can be added at runtime through the built-in dialog, invoked from Field List UI. To do so, set the allowCalculatedField property to true in the pivot table. End user can now see a “CALCULATED FIELD” button enabled in Field List UI automatically, which on clicking will invoke the calculated field dialog and perform necessary operation.

Calculated field can also be included in the pivot table through code behind using the calculatedFieldsSettings. The required properties to create a new calculate field are:

  • name: It allows to indicate the calculated field with a unique name.
  • formula: It allows to set the formula.
  • formatSettings: It helps to set the number format for the resultant value.
    To use calculated field option, you need to inject the CalculatedField module in pivot table.

The calculated field is applicable only for value fields. By default, the calculated fields created through code-behind are only added to the field list and calculated field dialog UI. To display the calculated field in the pivot table UI, it must be added to the values property, as shown in the code below.

import { PivotView, IDataSet, CalculatedField, FieldList } from '@syncfusion/ej2-pivotview';
import { pivotData } from './datasource.ts';

PivotView.Inject(FieldList, CalculatedField);
let pivotTableObj: PivotView = new PivotView({
    dataSourceSettings: {
        dataSource: pivotData as IDataSet[],
        expandAll: false,
        enableSorting: true,
        drilledMembers: [{ name: 'Country', items: ['France'] }],
        columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
        values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }, { name: 'Total', caption: 'Total Amount', type: 'CalculatedField' }],
        rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
        formatSettings: [{ name: 'Amount', format: 'C0' }, { name: 'Total', format: 'C2' }],
        filters: [],
        calculatedFieldSettings: [{ name: 'Total', formula: '"Sum(Amount)"+"Sum(Sold)"' }]
    },
    showFieldList: true,
    allowCalculatedField: true,
    height: 350
});
pivotTableObj.appendTo('#PivotTable');

Meanwhile, user can also view calculated field dialog in UI by invoking createCalculatedFieldDialog method on an external button click which is shown in the below code sample.

import { PivotView, IDataSet, CalculatedField, FieldList} from '@syncfusion/ej2-pivotview';
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
import { pivotData } from './datasource.ts';

PivotView.Inject(CalculatedField, FieldList);
let pivotTableObj: PivotView = new PivotView({
    dataSourceSettings: {
        dataSource: pivotData as IDataSet[],
        expandAll: false,
        enableSorting: true,
        drilledMembers: [{ name: 'Country', items: ['France'] }],
        columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
        values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }, { name: 'Total', caption: 'Total Amount', type: 'CalculatedField' }],
        rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
        formatSettings: [{ name: 'Amount', format: 'C0' }, { name: 'Total', format: 'C2' }],
        filters: [],
        calculatedFieldSettings: [{ name: 'Total', formula: '"Sum(Amount)"+"Sum(Sold)"' }]
    },
    showFieldList: true,
    allowCalculatedField: true,
    height: 320
});
pivotTableObj.appendTo('#PivotTable');

let btn: Button = new Button({ isPrimary: true });
btn.appendTo('#CalculatedField');

document.getElementById('CalculatedField').addEventListener('click', () => {
    pivotTableObj.calculatedFieldModule.createCalculatedFieldDialog();
});

Apply format to the calculated field values

Values in a new or existing calculated field can be formatted via the calculated field UI or code behind. The formatSettings property in code-behind can be used to specify the desired format. For more information about the supported formats refer here.

To apply format to calculated field values at runtime via UI, a built-in dropdown under the “Format” label is available, from which the user can select the pre-defined format options listed below.

  • Standard - Denotes the numeric type.
  • Currency - Denotes the currency type.
  • Percent - Denotes the percentage type.
  • Custom - Denotes the custom format. For example: “C2”. This shows the value “9584.3” as “$9584.30.”
  • None - Denotes that no format will be applied.

By default, None will be selected from the dropdown.

Applying format through calculated field dialog UI

In addition, you can specify the desired custom formats by selecting the Custom option from the “Format” dropdown.

Event

CalculatedFieldCreate

The event calculatedFieldCreate fires while closing the dialog on “OK” button click. It allows to customize the new or existing calculated field information obtained from the dialog. It has the following parameters

  • calculatedField: It holds the new or existing calculated field information obtained from dialog.

  • calculatedFieldSettings: It holds the calculatedFieldSettings property of the pivot report.

  • cancel: It is a boolean property and by setting this to true , the customization done in calculated field dialog won’t be applied to calculated field.

In the below sample, creating a calculated field without setting the format is restricted.

import { PivotView, IDataSet, CalculatedField, FieldList, CalculatedFieldCreateEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-pivotview';
import { pivotData } from './datasource.ts';

PivotView.Inject(FieldList, CalculatedField);
let pivotTableObj: PivotView = new PivotView({
    dataSourceSettings: {
        dataSource: pivotData as IDataSet[],
        expandAll: false,
        columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
        values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }, { name: 'Total', caption: 'Total Amount', type: 'CalculatedField' }],
        rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
        formatSettings: [{ name: 'Amount', format: 'C0' }],
        filters: [],
        calculatedFieldSettings: [{ name: 'Total', formula: 'Math.round("Sum(Amount)") > abs("Sum(Sold)") ? min("Sum(Amount)", "Sum(Sold)") : Math.sqrt("Sum(Sold)")' }]
    },
    showFieldList: true,
    allowCalculatedField: true,
    calculatedFieldCreate: function (args: CalculatedFieldCreateEventArgs) {
        if(args.calculatedField.formatString === '') {
            args.cancel = true;
        }
    },
    height: 350,
});
pivotTableObj.appendTo('#PivotTable');

ActionBegin

The event actionBegin triggers when clicking calculated field button, calculated field edit icon and context menu in the tree view inside the calculated field dialog. This allows user to identify the current action being performed at runtime. It has the following parameters:

  • dataSourceSettings: It holds the current data source settings such as input data source, rows, columns, values, filters, format settings and so on.

  • actionName: It holds the name of the current action began. The following are the UI actions and their names:

Action Action Name
Calculated field button Open calculated field dialog
Edit icon in calculated field Edit calculated field
Context menu in the tree view inside the calculated field dialog Calculated field context menu
  • fieldInfo: It holds the selected field information.

Note: This option is applicable only when the field based UI actions are performed such as filtering, sorting, removing field from grouping bar, editing and aggregation type change.

  • cancel: It allows user to restrict the current action.

In the below sample, the calculated field button click action, that is, opening of the calculated field dialog can be restricted by setting the args.cancel option to true in the actionBegin event.

import { PivotView, IDataSet, GroupingBar, FieldList, PivotActionBeginEventArgs, CalculatedField } from '@syncfusion/ej2-pivotview';
import { pivotData } from './datasource.ts';

PivotView.Inject(FieldList, CalculatedField);
let pivotTableObj: PivotView = new PivotView({
    dataSourceSettings: {
        dataSource: pivotData as IDataSet[],
        columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
        values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }],
        rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
        formatSettings: [{ name: 'Amount', format: 'C0' }],
        filters: [],
        calculatedFieldSettings: [{ name: 'Total', formula: '"Sum(balance)"+"Sum(quantity)"' }]
    },
    showFieldList: true,
    allowCalculatedField: true,
    actionBegin: (args: PivotActionBeginEventArgs) => {
        if (args.actionName == 'Open calculated field dialog') {
            args.cancel = true;
        }
    },
    height: 350
});
