EPPlus Pivot Table - Copy Values to New Sheet - epplus

Question

I've successfully created a pivot table using EPPlus. The pivot table resides in a seperate sheet from the raw data. I would like to copy the pivot table data to a new, third, sheet, but just the values, not the pivot defintions. Does EPPlus support this?

You can just copy the datasource range via Cache Definition:
public void PivotDataCopy()
{
const string FORMATCURRENCY = "#,###;[Red](#,###)";
var file = new FileInfo(#"c:\temp\temp.xlsx");
if (file.Exists)
file.Delete();
var pck = new ExcelPackage(file);
var workbook = pck.Workbook;
var dataworksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("datasheet");
//The data
dataworksheet.Cells["A20"].Value = "Col1";
dataworksheet.Cells["A21"].Value = "sdf";
dataworksheet.Cells["A22"].Value = "wer";
dataworksheet.Cells["A23"].Value = "ghgh";
dataworksheet.Cells["A24"].Value = "sdf";
dataworksheet.Cells["A25"].Value = "wer";
dataworksheet.Cells["B20"].Value = "Col2";
dataworksheet.Cells["B21"].Value = "Group A";
dataworksheet.Cells["B22"].Value = "Group B";
dataworksheet.Cells["B23"].Value = "Group A";
dataworksheet.Cells["B24"].Value = "Group C";
dataworksheet.Cells["B25"].Value = "Group A";
dataworksheet.Cells["C20"].Value = "Col3";
dataworksheet.Cells["C21"].Value = 453.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C22"].Value = 634.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C23"].Value = 274.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C24"].Value = 453.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C25"].Value = 634.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["D20"].Value = "Col4";
dataworksheet.Cells["D21"].Value = 686468;
dataworksheet.Cells["D22"].Value = 996440;
dataworksheet.Cells["D23"].Value = 185780;
dataworksheet.Cells["D24"].Value = 686468;
dataworksheet.Cells["D25"].Value = 996440;
//The pivot table
var pivotworksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("pivotsheet");
var pivotTable = pivotworksheet.PivotTables.Add(pivotworksheet.Cells["A1"], dataworksheet.Cells["A20:D29"], "test");
//The label row field
pivotTable.RowFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Col1"]);
pivotTable.DataOnRows = false;
//The data fields
var field = pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Col3"]);
field.Name = "Sum of Col2";
field.Function = DataFieldFunctions.Sum;
field.Format = FORMATCURRENCY;
field = pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Col4"]);
field.Name = "Sum of Col3";
field.Function = DataFieldFunctions.Sum;
field.Format = FORMATCURRENCY;
//Get the pivot table data source
var newworksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("newworksheet");
var pivotdatasourcerange = pivotTable.CacheDefinition.SourceRange;
pivotdatasourcerange.Copy(newworksheet.Cells["A1"]);
pck.Save();
}
EDIT: Doing with a VBA macro which then resaves the sheet as a non-macro XLSX:
public void PivotDataCopy()
{
const string FORMATCURRENCY = "#,###;[Red](#,###)";
var file = new FileInfo(#"c:\temp\temp.xlsm");
if (file.Exists)
file.Delete();
var pck = new ExcelPackage(file);
var workbook = pck.Workbook;
var dataworksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("datasheet");
//The data
dataworksheet.Cells["A20"].Value = "Col1";
dataworksheet.Cells["A21"].Value = "sdf";
dataworksheet.Cells["A22"].Value = "wer";
dataworksheet.Cells["A23"].Value = "ghgh";
dataworksheet.Cells["A24"].Value = "sdf";
dataworksheet.Cells["A25"].Value = "wer";
dataworksheet.Cells["B20"].Value = "Col2";
dataworksheet.Cells["B21"].Value = "Group A";
dataworksheet.Cells["B22"].Value = "Group B";
dataworksheet.Cells["B23"].Value = "Group A";
dataworksheet.Cells["B24"].Value = "Group C";
dataworksheet.Cells["B25"].Value = "Group A";
dataworksheet.Cells["C20"].Value = "Col3";
dataworksheet.Cells["C21"].Value = 453.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C22"].Value = 634.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C23"].Value = 274.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C24"].Value = 453.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["C25"].Value = 634.5;
dataworksheet.Cells["D20"].Value = "Col4";
dataworksheet.Cells["D21"].Value = 686468;
dataworksheet.Cells["D22"].Value = 996440;
dataworksheet.Cells["D23"].Value = 185780;
dataworksheet.Cells["D24"].Value = 686468;
dataworksheet.Cells["D25"].Value = 996440;
//The pivot table
var pivotworksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("pivotsheet");
var pivotTable = pivotworksheet.PivotTables.Add(pivotworksheet.Cells["A1"], dataworksheet.Cells["A20:D29"], "test");
//The label row field
pivotTable.RowFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Col1"]);
pivotTable.DataOnRows = false;
//The data fields
var field = pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Col3"]);
field.Name = "Sum of Col2";
field.Function = DataFieldFunctions.Sum;
field.Format = FORMATCURRENCY;
field = pivotTable.DataFields.Add(pivotTable.Fields["Col4"]);
field.Name = "Sum of Col3";
field.Function = DataFieldFunctions.Sum;
field.Format = FORMATCURRENCY;
//add the macro to copy the table data on open
workbook.Worksheets.Add("newworksheet");
var sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.AppendLine("Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)");
sb.AppendLine(" Sheets(\"pivotsheet\").Cells.Copy");
sb.AppendLine(" Sheets(\"newworksheet\").Range(\"A1\").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues");
sb.AppendLine(" Selection.Clear");
sb.AppendLine(" Application.DisplayAlerts = False");
sb.AppendLine(String.Format(" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs \"{0}\", xlOpenXMLWorkbook", file.FullName.Replace("xlsm", "xlsx")));
sb.AppendLine(" Application.DisplayAlerts = True");
sb.AppendLine("End Sub");
pck.Workbook.CreateVBAProject();
pck.Workbook.CodeModule.Code = sb.ToString();
pck.Save();
