# Data Binding

The Kendo UI for Angular PivotGrid supports data binding to an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube that is accessible through HTTP, and binding to local data.

## OLAP Service

The PivotGrid enables you to data-bind it to an OLAP service through a dedicated built-in OLAP-binding directive.

Kendo UI for Angular provides an OLAP service dll that you can use for testing. It is hosted at `https://demos.telerik.com/service/v2/olap/msmdpump.dll`. To see the responses, you must query the service, as it cannot be opened directly in the browser. For more information on binding the PivotGrid to data over an OLAP cube, refer to the following articles:

<Row>
  <Column count={[24,24,12]} style={{marginBottom: "1rem"}}>
    <Component className="tile" href="/pivotgrid/data-binding/olap-fundamentals">
      <ComponentTitle>OLAP Cube Fundamentals</ComponentTitle>
      <ComponentDescription style={{padding: "0 10px 10px 10px"}}>Learn the fundamentals of OLAP cubes and how they work with the PivotGrid.</ComponentDescription>
    </Component>
  </Column>
  <Column count={[24,24,12]} style={{marginBottom: "1rem"}}>
    <Component className="tile" href="/pivotgrid/data-binding/olap-cube-setup">
      <ComponentTitle>OLAP Cube Setup</ComponentTitle>
      <ComponentDescription style={{padding: "0 10px 10px 10px"}}>Configure and set up OLAP cube connections for the PivotGrid component.</ComponentDescription>
    </Component>
  </Column>
</Row>

## Local Data

The PivotGrid enables you to bind it to local data using a built-in data-binding directive. Further details and a runnable example are available in the [`Local Data Binding`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/pivotgrid/data-binding/local-directive) documentation article.
