You need to set the fillDownLabels
to true
. This is per the OpenXML specification for the PivotField element which the fillDownLabels is an attribute of.
To set it to true, use the following convention:
pField.SetAttribute("fillDownLabels", "true");
Also note from the spec that this attribute can be ignored in some situations:
This attribute is ignored when the compact attribute and the outline attribute of the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) field (1) are "true". This attribute is ignored if the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) field (1) is not on the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) row (2) axis or the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC-29500-1] section 18.10) column (2) axis.
To summarize - to get your fillDownLabels
to work correctly:
- set the
fillDownLabels
to true
- the default is false
- make sure the
compact
attribute of the outline
attribute of this pField is set or false (likely the default - check the spec). If this is true
, the fillDownLabels attribute is ignored.
- Ensure the Pfield is on the row axis or column axis, otherwise
fillDownLabels
is ignored.
one last note for folks using OpenXMLSDK - to set a BooleanValue attribute you can use the convention:
fillDownLabels = BooleanValue.FromBoolean(true)
