You can use the activity with an Excel file selected for a parent Use Excel File activity or with the Project Notebook.
To learn how to use this activity, check Tutorial: Creating a Pivot Table.
- File (local path) - The full local path of the workbook. To switch to file resource, select the plus icon, and then Use a File Resource. The current field will change to File, where you can provide the full path of the resource workbook.
- Use table source - This option is disabled by default. When you enable it, it replaces the Source sheet and Source range fields with Source table name.
- Source table name - The name of the source table for the pivot.
- Source sheet - The source sheet for the pivot table.
- Source range - The source range for the pivot table. If not specified, the entire sheet is used.
- Pivot sheet name - The sheet where to place the pivot table. If the sheet does not exist, it is created.
- Pivot placement cell - The top-left cell of the pivot table, including filters. It defaults to
A1. - Pivot table name - The name of the pivot table.
- Pivot table fields- The fields of the pivot table.
Input
- Layout - Enhances the pivot table layout and format. You can choose between the following options:
- Compact - This form optimizes for readability.
- Tabular - This form includes file headers.
- Outline - This form includes file headers
The default value is Compact.
- Values added as - Select how to add the values in the pivot table, either as Columns or Rows. The default option is Columns.
Options
- Password - Optionally, enter the password of the workbook.
Use Workbook
- Workbook - The existing workbook to use.
Limitation 1
The Create Pivot Table Workbook activity does not function correctly when attempting to create a pivot table that already exists in the workbook.
Due to a limitation in the underlying ClosedXML library, the following scenarios are not fully supported:
- Removing existing pivot tables.
- Deleting a sheet that contains a pivot table.
Recreating an existing pivot table in the same workbook may lead to corrupted Excel files or runtime errors.
Workaround
- If a pivot table with the desired name does not exist, the activity will create it as usual.
- If a pivot table with the desired name exists, and the source data is the same, the activity will update the existing pivot table.
- An exception is thrown if a pivot table with the desired name exists, but the source data differs.
Limitation 2
The activity does not support external sources for pivot tables.
