Pivot Table From External Source

Hey,

I am creating Pivot Table from two Sources.

  1. Excel Worksheet It Self.
  2. SQL Server Connection - Using Pivot Table.

I am able to get both the pivot table but not able get the source of SQL server pivot table.
the simple pivot table from the worksheet provides the details regarding pivot table but not able to find DataSource of SQL Query pivot table.

I am attaching a sample file so you can look at the issue.
Sample Pivot Table.zip (12.7 KB)

@harshCIPL22,
Thank you for your query.
Please give a try to the following sample code and share the feedback. If your requirement is not fulfilled, please elaborate your requirement more along with images and expected information which you want to extract from the Excel file. We will analyze the information and provide assistance accordingly.

Workbook workbook = new Workbook(path + "Sample Pivot Table.xlsx");
// Load workbook object
//Workbook workbook = new Workbook(sourceDir + "sampleFindQueryTablesAndListObjectsOfExternalDataConnections.xlsm");

// Check all the connections inside the workbook
for (int i = 0; i < workbook.DataConnections.Count; i++)
{
    Aspose.Cells.ExternalConnections.ExternalConnection externalConnection = workbook.DataConnections[i];
    DBConnection dbConn = externalConnection as DBConnection;
    Console.WriteLine(dbConn.Command);
    Console.WriteLine(dbConn.CommandType);
    Console.WriteLine(dbConn.ConnectionInfo);
}

Thanks for your help by suggesting the code.

I am able to get the DataSource of the SQL Query using that externalConnection object and it returns me the ConnectionInfo property that provides me the DataSource of Pivot Table.

But still I am having an issue that I am not able to relate that Pivot Table with externalConnection.
as Pivot Table is not having any Property that indicates that the which external connection is refer to which pivot table.

for more details I am attaching two images from that you can understand that what I am actually facing.
ExternalConnection.png (43.4 KB)
PivotTable.png (44.3 KB)

There is no such a bridge or connection between this two things to identify themselves.
There should be ConnectionID property in PivotTable if it is created from external sources.
