Slicers are visual filters that are used to filter data in Excel spreadsheets. You can filter the data by clicking on desired type of data in slicer.

DsExcel supports the export of Excel spreadsheet containing a slicer to PDF document. So, if an Excel spreadsheet containing a slicer is exported to PDF, the resulting PDF will contain the applied slicer.

Using Code

Refer to the following example code to export slicers to PDF document.

// Fetch default worksheet 
IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
worksheet.Range["A:F"].ColumnWidth = 13;
// Set Data
worksheet.Range["A1:F16"].Value = sourceData;
ITable table = worksheet.Tables.Add(worksheet.Range["A1:F16"], true);
table.Columns[3].DataBodyRange.NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00";
// Create slicer cache for table
ISlicerCache cache = workbook.SlicerCaches.Add(table, "Category", "categoryCache");

// Add two slicers for Category column
ISlicer slicer1 = cache.Slicers.Add(workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"], "cate1", "Category", 300, 50, 100, 200);

// Saving workbook to pdf
workbook.Save(@"ConvertExcelSlicersToPDFExport.pdf");
