Customizing a Pivot Table by Using Globalization Settings

Using Aspose.Cells API, developers can apply various filters to build the corresponding Pivot Table. After they create a Pivot Table report and add the fields (they require), they often want to enhance the layout and formatting of the report to improve readability and to make it more attractive. To achieve this, Aspose.Cells API allows developers to customize the globalization settings of a Pivot Table to deal with such scenarios. They can customize the Pivot Total, Sub Total, Grand Total, All Items, Multiple Items, Column Labels, Row Labels, Blank Values text as per their requirements.

Developers can derive a class from the base GlobalizationSettings class. GlobalizationSettings class has various methods to further enhance the Pivot Total, Sub Total, Grand Total, All Items, Multiple Items, Column Labels, Row Labels and Blank Values text. This article shows a code example which works with the layout and format of the report: Customize Globalization Settings for Pivot Table

Call a Client Side Script on Page Change Event of GridWeb

Aspose.Cells for .NET also includes an independent web-based grid control (Aspose.Cells.GridWeb) which is designed to work with the web applications. Developers can load an existing Excel file into its grid matrix, manipulate it and save it back. The GridWeb control can hold data in multiple pages via its Paging feature. Developers might require to call a client side script on page index change event of GridWeb. This feature covers various scenarios. Developers may require to display the page number in their .NET applications, so they can call client side script to get the page number. To achieve this, EnablePaging property of the GridWeb should be set as True. This article shows a code example which uses the OnPageChangeClientFunction property of GridWeb control to display the page number: [Execute client side function on GridWeb page change][4]

Validate the Entire Worksheet of GridWeb

In the past, GridWeb control was validating the updated cells and not validating the entire Excel worksheet. Using the recent version 17.3.0 of Aspose.Cells API, developers can now validate the entire worksheet on client side before the GridWeb requests to the server. They need to set the needValidateall variable inside the acwmain.js to true. This article explains on how to validate the entire Excel worksheet of GridWeb: Validate entire worksheet instead of only the updated cells
