Excel.DataPivotHierarchyCollection class

Package:

excel

Represents a collection of DataPivotHierarchy items associated with the PivotTable.

Extends

OfficeExtension.ClientObject

Remarks

[Api set: ExcelApi 1.8]

Properties

context	The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
items	Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

add(pivotHierarchy)	Adds the PivotHierarchy to the current axis.
getCount()	Gets the number of pivot hierarchies in the collection.
getItem(name)	Gets a DataPivotHierarchy by its name or ID.
getItemOrNullObject(name)	Gets a DataPivotHierarchy by name. If the DataPivotHierarchy does not exist, then this method returns an object with its isNullObject property set to true. For further information, see *OrNullObject methods and properties.
load(options)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
remove(DataPivotHierarchy)	Removes the PivotHierarchy from the current axis.
toJSON()	Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.DataPivotHierarchyCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.DataPivotHierarchyCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
