Hi Jaroslaw,
Yes,Thats what code for Pivot Tables in Sheets would
not be the same as that in Kexi. I would go through Kexi's Code and then
surely try to give this challenge a shot once i am done with Pivot Tables
in Sheets :)
Cheers

Cool, that's normal - many ideas, food for thought :_)<br>
<br>
To add even more spice here - pivot tables for database apps (Kexi)<br>
are really appealing (but I think reuse of Sheets pivot tables would<br>
be rather limited because of different data models and requirements -<br>
spreadsheets usually have all the data in memory already). Another<br>
challenge :)<br>
