Property BandedColumns As Boolean
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean |
true , to apply banded column formatting to the pivot table; otherwise, false.
|
To apply banding to columns in a pivot table, set the BandedColumns property to true.
To change the format of alternate column stripes, modify the TableStyleElementType.FirstColumnStripe and TableStyleElementType.SecondColumnStripe elements of the style applied to a pivot table. The TableStyleElement.StripeSize property of these table style elements allows you to specify the number of pivot table columns to be displayed as odd and even column stripes. You can also specify the borders (TableStyleElement.Borders), background color (TableStyleElement.Fill) and font (TableStyleElement.Font) of column stripes.
The images below demonstrate how the BandedColumns property works.
| BandedColumns = false | BandedColumns = true |

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Report4"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;
// Access the pivot table by its name in the collection.
PivotTable pivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables["PivotTable1"];
// Apply the banded column formatting to the pivot table.
pivotTable.BandedColumns = true;
Dim worksheet As Worksheet = workbook.Worksheets("Report4")
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet
' Access the pivot table by its name in the collection.
Dim pivotTable As PivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
' Apply the banded column formatting to the pivot table.
pivotTable.BandedColumns = True
