Usage

install

npm i @flatfile/plugin-export-pivot-table

import

import { pivotTablePlugin } from "@flatfile/plugin-export-pivot-table";

listener.js

listener.use(pivotTablePlugin({
  pivotColumn: 'Region',
  aggregateColumn: 'Sales',
  aggregationMethod: 'sum',
  groupByColumn: 'Category'
}));

Full Example

listener.js

import { pivotTablePlugin } from "@flatfile/plugin-export-pivot-table";

export default function (listener) {
  listener.use(pivotTablePlugin({
    pivotColumn: 'Region',
    aggregateColumn: 'Sales',
    aggregationMethod: 'sum',
    groupByColumn: 'Category'
  }));

  // rest of listener.js
}

Functionality

The pivot table plugin performs the following steps:

  1. Listens for the 'job:ready' event with the 'workbook:generatePivotTable' job type.
  2. Retrieves the sheet data from the specified workbook.
  3. Generates a pivot table based on the provided configuration:
    • Uses the specified pivot column
    • Aggregates data from the aggregate column
    • Applies the chosen aggregation method (sum, average, count, min, or max)
    • Groups by the optional group-by column if provided
    • Calculates totals for each pivot value
  4. Converts the resulting pivot table to a formatted Markdown table.
  5. Creates a new document in the Flatfile space containing the Markdown pivot table.
  6. Marks the job as complete with a success message, or failed if an error occurs.

This plugin enhances your Flatfile experience by providing powerful data analysis capabilities directly within your data import workflow.

Output Format

The plugin generates a Markdown-formatted pivot table. Here's an example of what the output might look like:

# Pivot Table

- Pivot Column: Region
- Aggregate Column: Sales Amount
- Aggregation Method: sum
- Group By Column: Category

| Region | Electronics | Furniture | Total |
|--------|-------------|-----------|-------|
| North  | 1750.00     | 480.00    | 2230.00 |
| South  | 1820.00     | 280.00    | 2100.00 |
| East   | 2050.00     | 460.00    | 2510.00 |
| West   | 1320.00     | 200.00    | 1520.00 |

The table includes both grouped data (if a group-by column is provided) and totals for each pivot value. Values are formatted to two decimal places for readability.
