Hi
I want to display the subtotals in my flex pivot, but I don't want to export them.

Is it possible ?
Thanks
Franck

Hello, Franck,
 
Thank you for reaching out to us.
 
We have prepared a JSFiddle demonstrating the requested functionality: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/z8e0sLy7/.
 
You can find the detailed explanation of this approach below:
 
First, we create the hideSubtotal function. It will serve as a callback handler for the customize cell API call. This function hides all the subtotals on the grid by replacing cells' text with an empty string:

function hideSubotals(cell, data) {
  if (data.isTotal && !data.isGrandTotal)
    cell.text = "";
}

 
Next, we subscribe to the exportcomplete and printcomplete events and pass an empty customizeCell function as a handler. This part serves to restore subtotals after the export/printing is complete:

pivot.on("exportcomplete", pivot.customizeCell);
pivot.on("printcomplete", pivot.customizeCell);

 
Next, we create an actual export function that would invoke the hideSubtotals method, wait until the grid is redrawn (aftergriddraw event), and export/print the content (exportTo or print method):

{
  pivot.on("aftergriddraw", () => { //subscribe to the "aftergriddraw" event
    pivot.off("aftergriddraw"); //unsubscribe from the "aftergriddraw" event to avoid looping
    flexmonster.exportTo(args); or flexmonster.print(args); //perform export
  });
  pivot.customizeCell(hideSubotals); //hide subtotals and trigger the "aftergriddraw" event
}

 
In the JSFiddle, we have customized the Toolbar so that all the export buttons use the mentioned handler instead:

pivot.on("beforetoolbarcreated", (toolbar) => {
  let tabs = toolbar.getTabs(); //get all tabs
  toolbar.getTabs = () => {
    let exports = tabs.find(tab => tab.id == "fm-tab-export").menu; //get all buttons of the "Export" tab
    if (!exports) return;

    exports.forEach(tab => {
      let hanlder = //declare the handler
        tab.args ? () => { //check if the "args" property exists
          pivot.exportTo(tab.args) //if the "args" property exists, initialize the handler with an "exportTo" function
        } : () => {
          pivot.print() //if the "args" property does not exist, initialize the handler with an "print" function
        };
      tab.handler = () => { //assign new tab's handler
        pivot.on("aftergriddraw", () => {
          pivot.off("aftergriddraw");
          hanlder();
        });
        pivot.customizeCell(hideSubotals);
      }
    });

    return tabs; //return updated tabs
  };
});

 
You can either use this approach or create custom controls for this type of export. For more information about the Toolbar customization: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/customizing-toolbar/.
If subtotals of collapsed members need to be preserved, we suggest replacing the customizeCell function with a setOptions API call in order to hide subtotals: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/3t01f7zc/.
 
Please let us know if it works for you.
Our team is looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Illia
