Is there a RoadMap for the Silverlight pivot grid ? I've tried the Infragistics pivot grid and it works great (http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/silverlight/data-visualization/xam-web-pivot-grid.aspx#Overview). But I prefer to use Tererik products ;-)

We need to make a choice for the next version of our products so is it possible to be added in the private beta list ?

Thanks by advance.

Hello Xavier Lavigne,

There is still a lot of work to be done and it is not the time for a concrete date or releases. I have added you to the list.

All the best,

Telerik Team, we have been waiting on olap pivot grid since 18 months Although replies always indicated some release since q3 2010 and now it's almost q2 2011 we think that you Atleast owe all licensed clients of a concrete roadmap of this controls release. I have indicated in the past that almost all the vendors- dev express, component one, infragistics, sync fusion Have a rich working version of this control Eventhough You make it sound like rocket science, we have been using a cheap cost (500). Silverlight olap grid from Ranet which has all the functions people in this post are requesting even in their free version in codeplex They have 2 developers and have the greatest support with Mac 24 hours to add features Can you guys atleast buy them?

@shivir,
I cannot be more precise with the time frame of our pivot grid availability. Working in such dynamic environment force us to change the priority of some of our development endeavors. Still we expect to have the early bits in a couple of months.

@Andre,
I have added you to the list.

Best wishes,

4 items for discussion..

1 - I go to the Public Issue Tracking system to have my vote on which features are important and I cant find anything matching Pivot - so we dont all go and vote on the wrong item.. can you please include the name and details of the Pivot grid in your current PITS list.

2 - In response to shivir 's post about the Ranet control.. That looks brilliant.. but I dont want to have my data require an OLAP cube before being able to use this... I am really after something where a user does a fairly simple search producing 50 to 500 records and then give them some tools to analyse that information, similar to Excel and its pivot table..

3 - I also agree with shivir's post about our expectations for a response from Telerik with more concrete information. I raised Ticket 268645 in December 2009 and received the following response
"We definitely have the PivotTable in our road map. We will release an early CTP of this next year, but it will be in post 2010 Q1 time frame. Stay tuned for more information on our site and blogs.

Sincerely yours,
Stefan Dobrev"

So if you "definitely have the PivotTable in our road map" then why can we not see something in the RoadMap now?

4 - What should we expect from being in the beta list? Are you going to email us all with a list of requirements? Lots of people posting here just say add me to the list expecting to then receive some more information about the beta ... but other than receiving regular copies of everyone elses "Please add me to the list"... I have not seen anything else. What is this list??

Yep I agree. I have been monitoring this thread for at least six months plus now. I did have a requirement for pivot but have been doing a work around since then (ViBlend controls) and have been waiting. Telerik keep on saying it will appear within the next quarter, so I have been waiting.

Yes I don't need OLAP support either, but it would be nice in a later version, does not need to be there in the initial release.

Since being on this list I have only got the updates to this thread and nothing else.

Come on Telerik, can you give use more information then please wait, because in a minute I am expecting more people to move to another provider for this feature request (thats been on the cards for over 1 year now).

Yes I know my account says I have not paid for any controls, but it does not mean I have not recommended and had them purchased by the client I work for.

Regards

Richard...

also fully agree, i'm waiting already more than 1year;-)

i would be happy to receive really simple olap grid where i can have functionality that i describe in 17march2011 in this thread,

but i really would like to see the beta, because it will enable to take me decision where to go?

and i really need DATE, it is important to be able to take a decisions;

i think also that all those people is still waiting beacuse they like Telerik products and your service,
but with Olap grid it is not your according Telerik rules, i hope ...

Agreed, this blind faith type of answers are getting old very quickly. At this point we should be getting a schedule with clear dates and proposed milestones, so that businesses can start planing and taking decisions. Building the grid IS NOT rocket science and almost all competitors already have one...

wake up telerik...

Hi all,

I hope my previous statements were not vague in terms of our development plans and the fact that the Pivot Grid control is included and we are doing our best to ship it till the end of this year. The reasons for being uncertain about the timeframe are pretty trivial – ever-changing priorities and a lot of other clients’ requests which we have to implement in our suite. But I want to assure you that the Pivot Grid is already with the highest priority in our development plans and we are optimistic that it will be ready till the end of this year.

Once again I would like to thank all of you for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
Hristo

For others reference on this List...
There is now a Pivot Table in the Public Issue Tracking System

Issue ID 6027 - New Control: Pivot Grid
http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/silverlight/6027

I suggest you vote for this control and see if it gains support inside Telerik to make it a high priority.

I dont work for Telerik ... but instead of us whining on this forum that does not seem to get any where.. Voting on the PITS seems to be the official way of changing prirotiy according to the forum admins signature...

Hello Tamas,

There are no change in our plans - we are actively working on our Pivot control, and most probably we will be able to show you the early bits in a couple of months.

Yes - definitely glad to hear that you are indeed working on one and we'll be able to see something soon.

However, could you please advise the initial requirements you are working on for this Pivot Table.

My requirements are based on us providing an small dataset, such as 500 records and being able to analyze this information in a quick adhoc manner, and to be able to layout information in alternative ways.

I know others on this thread have talked about connecting the pivot table up to an OLAP server and a data cube. If this is what you are targeting, then its no use to me.

Thanks

Hello James,

There will be no problem to bind to such dataset and analyze the data in it using our Pivot offering.

Using OLAP will not be required.

PITS code 6027 is no longer listed.

Another release, still not Pivot Table.

When does it go into Beta please. When can we see more than just talk.

fully agree with James, please just tell your customers (and also us) if you will or not develop pivottable,
we love telerik, but we have to have a chance to plan our development as we take a decision to be dependend on your future development,

Im surprised so many people are still waiting for this grid, inst it obvious? At best this over a year long silence is a disrespect to us the clients waiting faithfully for this elusive control and endlessly asking for an ETA to release. But truth is, with silverlight being phased out, this grid had to arrive to market 2 years ago to be in any way valuable to telerik. I bet they are really investing most of their efforts in HTML5 now, so complex new silverlight controls like the olap grid, not sure AT ALL...

might help explain why they avoid any real discussion about this grid for over a year now...

Hi All,

I would like to assure you that PivotGrid component is currently in development and it will be available for both Silverlight and WPF. I know that most of you have been waiting for quite some time now but we want to build the best PivotGrid in terms of performance and feature set which takes time.

A preview should be available around March/April.

Hi Milan,

Can you give us any further information at this point about its capabilities?

Are you able to let us know what data sources it will support?

Thanks,

Adam
