Referenced by: dataField

This complex type specifies extended information about a PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) data field item ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10.1.22).

Attributes:

pivotShowAs : An ST_PivotShowAs attribute that specifies the data display format for this PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) data field item. If this attribute is specified, the showDataAs attribute of the ancestor CT_Datafield ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element MUST NOT be specified. If this attribute is equal to “percentOfParent”, “percentOfRunningTotal”, “rankAscending”, or “rankDescending”, the baseField attribute of the ancestor CT_Datafield ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element MUST be greater than or equal to 0.

sourceField : An unsignedInt ([XMLSCHEMA2] section 3.3.22) attribute that specifies the zero-based index of the CT_PivotField ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element in the list of CT_PivotField ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) elements specified by the CT_PivotFields ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element that this data item summarizes.

If an OLAP measure is summarized in a PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) as a data field item ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10.1.22) more than once, data field items ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10.1.22) that specify that OLAP measure after the first data field item ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10.1.22) that specifies that OLAP measure MUST have a descendant CT_DataField element with a sourceField specified.

If this attribute is specified, the CT_PivotField ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element specified by the fld attribute of the ancestor CT_Datafield ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element MUST have a descendant CT_PivotField element with an ignore attribute equal to TRUE.

If this attribute is specified, the CT_CacheField ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element with a zero-based index in the list of CT_CacheField ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) elements specified by the CT_CacheFields ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element equal to the fld attribute of the ancestor CT_Datafield ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element that exists in the Pivot Table Cache Definition part ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 12.3.12) specified by the cacheId attribute of the CT_PivotTableDefintion ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element that is the ancestor of this element MUST have a descendant CT_CacheField element. The CT_CacheHierarchy ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element specified by the hierarchy attribute of that CT_CacheField ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element MUST have a descendent CT_CacheHierarchy element with an ignore attribute equal to TRUE. The CT_PivotHierarchy ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element with a zero-based index in the list of CT_PivotHierarchy ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) elements specified by the CT_PivotHierarchies ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element in this part equal to the zero-based index of that CT_CacheHierarchy ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element in the list of CT_CacheHierarchy ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) elements specified by the CT_CacheHierarchies ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element MUST have a descendant CT_PivotHierarchy element.

If this attribute is specified, the fld attribute of the ancestor CT_Datafield ([ISO/IEC-29500-4] section A.2) element SHOULD<24> be ignored.

This attribute MUST NOT be specified for non-OLAP PivotTables ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10).

uniqueName : An ST_Xstring ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 22.9.2.19) attribute that specifies the unique name for duplicated OLAP measures. MUST be unique within this part. MUST be less than or equal to 65535 characters in length.
