I've looked at the export to excel sample provided in your sample browser, but the sample code exports all rows/columns into excel even if they aren't visible. Is there any way to only export visible rows/columns(for example: if total rows were hidable)?
Bump.
The tricky part here seems to be the row and column headers and adjusting their positions/cell merging. Since the placement of the actual cells with data is them is easy.
Hello Ryan,
Thank you for post. I have been looking into your question and the sample application for exporting the XamPivotGrid to excel is exporting the current view of the control. It is exporting the same data that is visible in the XamPivotGrid. I am attaching a sample application that is showing how the approach is implemented.
The sample is using Infragistics Excel Engine and you can use it as bases and modify it based on your needs. You can read more details on the Excel Engine here: http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/WPF/current/CLR4.0/?page=WPF_Infragistics_Excel_Engine.html.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance on the matter.

Thank you for sending me the sample from the sample browser.
As I stated, that exporter sample exports even rows/columns with visibilities set to false. For instance, if I said...
xamPivotGrid.DataRows.Where(x => x.IsTotal).ToList().ForEach(i => i.IsVisible = false);
The rows would still be shown in an excel export.
I wanted to know if there was a way to only export the rows/columns with a visibility set to true. Calculating the new row/column spans and the new positioning of the headers can get quite complex.
I am just checking if you require any further assistance on the matter.
Thank you for your reply and the clarification. After looking into the functionality that you are trying to achieve and the current approach for exporting the XamPivotGrid is exporting the result of the DataSource.
