The DevExpress WPF Pivot Grid (PivotGridControl) allows you to create a pivot table for multi-dimensional data analysis. Using the Pivot Grid, large amounts of data can be summarized and represented in a cross-tabular format that can be sorted, grouped and filtered. End-users can customize the layout of the report based on their analysis requirements using simple drag-and-drop operations.

The Pivot Grid also supports drill-down (to view the underlying data for calculated cells), printing and exporting to various file formats (such as PDF, XLS and XLSX), and data visualization using the DevExpress WPF Chart Control, KPI or conditional formatting.
