Simple & Advanced Pivots with C# and ASP.NET

0.00/5 (No votes)
1 May 2012 1  
This is an alternative for Simple & Advanced Pivots with C# and ASP.NET

Datatable version

Was pretty useful thanks, here the same code is presented but returning a DataTable instead

Also I've added the following: 

  • Passing the column headers as parameters
  • Prevent the crash if there's null values
  • Possibility to have multiple values for the same x,y  
  • Multiple Z columns in 2d table
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Collections;
