PivotTable and PivotChart doesnt refresh when saving to PDF

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi there!


I’m having issues with pivot tables and pivot charts when saving teh workbook as PDF.

The issue with pivot table is that it does not have the refreshed data on the PDF, but it has it on the XLSX file.

The issue with pivot chart, is that when I put the RefreshChartCache on FALSE, the chart doesnt refresh, but when this attribute is true, the chart is not ok. It has the wrong X Axis, and the data is not displayed well.

See the image I’ve attached.


Example code:

sheet.Cells.ClearContents(1, 1, 13, 6);
sheet.Cells.ImportDataTable(data, false, 1, 0, 100, 6, false, “mm/dd/yy hh:mm AM/PM”, true);
sheet.ListObjects[“tbl_host_vulns_info”].Resize(0, 0, 100, 5, true);

foreach (PivotTable ptable in sheet.PivotTables)
{
ptable.ClearData();
string[] ds = new string[1];
ds[0] = “_mev_data!A1:F101”;
ptable.ChangeDataSource(ds);
ptable.CalculateRange();
ptable.RefreshData();
ptable.CalculateData();
}

foreach (Chart c in sheet.Charts)
{
c.RefreshPivotData();
c.Calculate();
}

I’ve attached an example.

Hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells.

I have tested this issue with your sample code using the latest version: Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.5.0 by uncommenting the following red line

if (format.Equals(SaveFormat.Pdf))
{
PdfSaveOptions opts = new PdfSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Pdf);
opts.RefreshChartCache = true;
opts.AllColumnsInOnePagePerSheet = true;
filename += “.pdf”;
wb_b.Save(filename, opts);
}

and it generated the correct pdf. I have attached the output pdf generated by your code for your reference.

Ok the chart, but what about the pivot table?


It still has the un-refreshed data. The pivot table in the file output.pdf has the same data as the test.xlsx when it shouldn’t.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for using Aspose.Cells.

Please download and try the latest fix: Aspose.Cells
for .NET v8.5.0.4 and let us know your feedback.

About CELLSNET-43744, there are some tips for you.

1.In testing project named “AposeTests”, you only refresh the PivotTables in the Worksheet named “_mev_data”.

2.If you want to refresh the PivotTables in the Worksheet named “Most Exploited Vulns”.

Please change the codes as follows:

foreach (Chart c in sheet.Charts)

{

c.Calculate();

c.RefreshPivotData();

}

To:

sheet = wb_b.Worksheets["Most Exploited Vulns"];

foreach (PivotTable ptable in sheet.PivotTables)

{

ptable.RefreshData();

ptable.CalculateData();

}

foreach (Chart c in sheet.Charts)

{

c.Calculate();

c.RefreshPivotData();

}
