    Hello we got a problem and would be happy if you can help us. Workflow is more complicated then described in code but this sample still doesn’t work too.

    @Test
        public void pivotTest() throws Exception{
            String data = IOUtils.toString(
                    this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/data/schedule/GrapecityDataJson.json"),
                    "UTF-8"
            );
            Workbook.SetLicenseKey(gcExcelKey);
            Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
            //data contains two worksheets (first is primary and second with Pivot table)
            workbook.fromJson(data);
            IWorksheet worksheetWithPivot = workbook.getWorksheets().get(1);
            String worksheetWithPivotJson = worksheetWithPivot.toJson();
            workbook.getWorksheets().get(1).delete();
            String workbookJson = workbook.toJson();
            //we want to create new duplicated workbook and add worksheet with Pivot
            Workbook workbookNew = new Workbook();
            workbookNew.fromJson(workbookJson);
            IWorksheet add = workbookNew.getWorksheets().add();
            // on add.fromJson(worksheetWithPivotJson)  we have Exception
    //        caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

            add.fromJson(worksheetWithPivotJson);
        }

    Hello,

    As per the developers, the Pivot table is stored in the worksheet while the pivot cache is stored in the workbook that different pivot tables shared.

    So when using worksheet tojson, pivot cache info would be lost. And some error would happen when using worksheet from json.

    If you want to use PivotTable, you should use workbook.fromjson and remove unwanted sheet in order to preserve the pivot cache info.

    Regards,

    Prabhat Sharma.
