- Excel.PivotField
Returns
void
sortByLabels(sortBy)
Sorts the PivotField. If a DataPivotHierarchy is specified, then sort will be applied based on it, if not sort will be based on the PivotField itself.
sortByLabels(sortBy: SortBy): void;Parameters
- sortBy
- Excel.SortBy
Specifies if the sorting is done in ascending or descending order.
Returns
void
Remarks
sortByValues(sortBy, valuesHierarchy, pivotItemScope)
Sorts the PivotField by specified values in a given scope. The scope defines which specific values will be used to sort when there are multiple values from the same DataPivotHierarchy.
sortByValues(sortBy: Excel.SortBy, valuesHierarchy: Excel.DataPivotHierarchy, pivotItemScope?: Array<PivotItem | string>): void;Parameters
- sortBy
- Excel.SortBy
Specifies if the sorting is done in ascending or descending order.
- valuesHierarchy
- Excel.DataPivotHierarchy
Specifies the values hierarchy on the data axis to be used for sorting.
- pivotItemScope
-
Array<Excel.PivotItem | string>
The items that should be used for the scope of the sorting. These will be the items that make up the row or column that you want to sort on. If a string is used instead of a PivotItem, the string represents the ID of the PivotItem. If there are no items other than data hierarchy on the axis you want to sort on, this can be empty.
Returns
void
Remarks
sortByValues(sortByString, valuesHierarchy, pivotItemScope)
Sorts the PivotField by specified values in a given scope. The scope defines which specific values will be used to sort when there are multiple values from the same DataPivotHierarchy.
sortByValues(sortByString: "Ascending" | "Descending", valuesHierarchy: Excel.DataPivotHierarchy, pivotItemScope?: Array<PivotItem | string>): void;Parameters
- sortByString
-
"Ascending" | "Descending"
Specifies if the sorting is done in ascending or descending order.
- valuesHierarchy
- Excel.DataPivotHierarchy
Specifies the values hierarchy on the data axis to be used for sorting.
- pivotItemScope
-
Array<Excel.PivotItem | string>

Returns
void
Remarks
toJSON()
Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.PivotField object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.PivotFieldData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
toJSON(): Excel.Interfaces.PivotFieldData;Returns
