Create Excel Pivots

Replicating Excel Function to Create Pivot Table into Excel Spreadsheet using KNIME for Pivot UI and Translation of Parameters into Python Variables and Aspose.Cells Module for Pivot Creation into the Spreadsheet. Python Code is extracted from the Author's GitHub Site.

Replicating the following Excel Functions-Menu Bar --> Insert-PivotTable-Select a Table or Range-New Worksheet (must be existing inoutput file)-Existing Worksheet Replicating the following Excel Functions-Pivot Table Tools --> Analyze-Toggle Field List-Choose fields to add to report-Drag fields between areas: Filter,Column, Row, Values Arrange the order of Field Items as youwould like to appear in the Pivot Table Sources & Output Setup-Sample Data-Exported Output Data File-Filepath Setup-Extract Sheet Names-Extract Python Codes from GitHub Replicating the following Excel Functions-Pivot Filter-Select Criteria (rest are unselected)-Unselect Criteria (rest are selected)-Enable/Disable Subtotal-Enable/Disable Repeat All Item Labels-Value Field Settings - Choose Type of Calculation Replicating the following Excel Functions-Grand Total for Column & Row-Pivot Table Design & Layout-Additional Feature: Prepping theWorksheet before and after placing the PivotTableNote: When a pivot is created it is possiblethat in its unfiltered state it will overlap withany row or column items in the sheet, toremediate this you can provide how manyrows/columns need to shift down and/orright before inserting the pivot then anotherset of numbers to shift them back to theirprevious positions or new positions. Proof of Concept-You can combine other Pivot Setups youhave made if you are planning to createmultiple Pivot Tables in your Worksheet-You can also leverage on using LoopNodes and Flow Variables if you'replanning on iterating the same PivotSetup but with different Parameters pereach iteration Transform all of the Pivot Setups into PythonVariables Create Pivot Table using Python -
