Excel.PivotTableCollection class

Represents a collection of all the PivotTables that are part of the workbook or worksheet.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.3 ]

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(name, source, destination)

Add a PivotTable based on the specified source data and insert it at the top-left cell of the destination range.

getCount()

Gets the number of pivot tables in the collection.

getItem(name)

Gets a PivotTable by name.

getItemOrNullObject(name)

Gets a PivotTable by name. If the PivotTable 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.

refreshAll()

Refreshes all the pivot tables in the collection.

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 is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.PivotTableCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.PivotTableCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
