The Pivot Grid control provides a fast and flexible way to bring its contents to the printed page, or export to a file or stream in various formats - PDF, RTF, XLS, etc. You must manually add the reference to the DevExpress.Xpf.Printing.v25.2 assembly. Otherwise, data printing and exporting are not allowed.
To preview the pivot grid, use the following members:
The Print Preview window allows you to customize the printed document, print it or export to a file in the required format.
The following table lists methods allowing you to export data:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| PivotGridControl.ExportToCsv | Exports the pivot grid to the specified stream or file path in CSV format. |
| PivotGridControl.ExportToHtml | Exports the pivot grid to the specified stream or file path in HTML format. |
| PivotGridControl.ExportToImage | Exports the pivot grid to the specified stream or file path in image format. |
| PivotGridControl.ExportToMht | Exports the pivot grid to the specified stream or file path in MHT format. |

When exporting to tabular formats (CSV, XLS, XLSX), the export engine uses the Excel Export Library to perform a Data-Aware export with improved performance and reduced memory usage. The resultant file is optimized for subsequent analysis in Microsoft Excel. For more information, refer to the Export to Tabular Formats (CSV, XLS, XLSX) document.
