Hi All,

I am trying to implement the pivot cache object in C#. The code is building fine, however on running the code I am getting value does not fall within the expected range error on the below line of code

C#

Excel.PivotTable oPivotTable = (Excel.PivotTable)oSheet.PivotTables().Add(PivotCache: oPivotCache, TableDestination: oRange2, TableName: "Summary");

Here oRange2 has been initiated as under

C#

Excel.Range oRange2 = (Excel.Range)oSheet1.Range["A3:G10"];

Can anyone please explain the meaning of these two lines and how are we to set the values, or rather, what does each value mean?

Hi,

Since I couldn't get much help on the net, I had no option but to debug it on my own, I realized there would be a ton of people who might face the same problem. Hence, m posting the solution that worked for me.

The second line of code

C#

Excel.Range oRange2 = (Excel.Range)oSheet1.Range["A3:G10"];

this sets the range of the pivot table in the worksheet, hence it can be better given as under

C#

Excel.Range oRange2 = (Excel.Range)oSheet1.Range["Sheet2!$A:$K"];

considering sheet 1 would have the data present.

Once I finished that and gave the pivot a definite number of columns it worked for me.

There is another way of going about it,

C#

Excel.PivotTable oPivotTable = oPivotCache.CreatePivotTable(oRange2);

This also gives no error in case your range defined is correct.

I hope this helps someone out there :)

Thanks
