Summarize Large Datasets with Pivot Tables

December 4, 2025
Discover patterns with pivot tables in spreadsheets, enabling interactive analysis that reveals trends and performance from every angle.

A pivot table in a spreadsheet lets you quickly summarize and explore large datasets by dynamically grouping, filtering, and aggregating data. It automatically calculates totals, averages, counts, and other metrics, reducing the need for complex formulas. This makes it easier to uncover trends, patterns, and outliers, such as comparing sales by region and product, analyzing costs by department, or tracking performance over time. By turning raw data into clear, interactive summaries, pivot tables help users make faster, more informed decisions.

Several .NET Core spreadsheet controls support pivot tables including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Spreadsheet (part of DevExpress WinForms) lets you create pivot tables that summarize, filter, and analyze large datasets with insightful data exploration.
  • Document Solutions for Excel, .NET Edition by MESCIUS enables advanced pivot table creation for fast data summarization and multi-dimensional analysis.
  • EPPlus by EPPlus Software allows you to build powerful pivot tables programmatically, enabling flexible data grouping, aggregation, and customizable reporting in Excel files.
  • IronXL for .NET by Iron Software facilitates generating pivot tables in code, helping you transform raw spreadsheet data into clear summaries, comparisons and insights.

Customize Your UI with Flexible Layouts

December 4, 2025
Create responsive applications with a layout component that handles spacing, breakpoints, and organization automatically.

A layout component provides a structured foundation for building modern applications.

The result is a cleaner, more intuitive user experience across devices without requiring extensive custom CSS or layout logic. Common use cases include dashboards with resizable panels, master-detail views for data management, admin portals, and applications that need predictable, responsive page structures to support complex UI components like charts, forms, and data grids.

Several JavaScript UI suites offer layout components including:

  • DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress lets you build consistent layouts using adaptable containers and integrated components that improve complex application interfaces.
  • Telerik DevCraft UI allows you to create polished, unified layouts with flexible structures and responsive behaviors that accelerate development across modern web applications.
  • Infragistics Ignite UI facilitates scalable layouts through responsive grids and containers, enabling efficient page organization for enterprise-grade experiences.
