Hello jfb, It doesn't say in that link if you can base your output on a template. We developed our own output functions for ODF format so I don't use poi.
The way we got round this problem though was to create a template with the pivot tables set up, use an instance of the template to write the base data to, and then use hooks to macros in Excel and LibreOffice to refresh the Pivot Tables when the output file was opened. We found that without the macros, the pivot tables wouldn't refresh (although I can't remember if that was just LibreOffice, as Excel I think has a flag to auto refresh Pivot Tables on open). It can be a bit dirty, but it does work. That idea might also get you round the chart limitation as well… All the best, Mick On Jun 27, 2014, at 12:06 PM, jfb <j.ballada...@verizon.net> wrote: > Hi All, > I'm using apache poi to create and download excel files from my datagrids. > One of the limitations is that cannot create pivot tables. > http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/limitations.html > Anybody knows a better way to create pivot tables in excel? > Thanks! > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Flex-and-Excel-pivot-tables-tp7048.html > Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
