ExcelPivot (ssUltimate)

I was not with the habit of creating changelogs on my classes but I started lately doing that.  So my subscribers will know what those are without me trying to explain each.

Well the major enhancements with this over the previous revisions are:

  • Faster - by cleaning up further the codes and looking for ways to speed this up further, this now generates Excel Pivot reports by 20% faster as before
  • Added _RepeatLabels property
  • Ensured that Excel output will show as Maximized
  • Added Arrows to quickly clear previous selections (Filters, Rows, Values and Columns)
  • Added option to show or hide Grid Lines on Excel sheet
  • There are more which I failed to log before
  • Bonus to Subscribers, a sample showing how to use additional automation for this class
