Find Children PivotTables of Parent Table & Parse Pivot Cached Records While Loading

What is new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Cells for Java 16.1.0 has been released. This release includes many new features and enhancements along with some critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the APIs. Sometimes, one pivot table uses other pivot table as a data source, so it is called a child pivot table or nested pivot table. Users can find the children pivot tables of a parent pivot table using the PivotTable.getChildren() method. The code sample on blog announcement page finds the children pivot tables of the pivot table using the PivotTable.getChildren() method and then refreshes them one by one. When users create a Pivot Table, Microsoft Excel takes a copy of the source data and stores it in the Pivot Cache. The Pivot Cache is held inside the memory of Microsoft Excel. When users load an Excel file inside the Workbook object, users can decide whether it also want to load the records of Pivot Cache or not, using the LoadOptions.ParsingPivotCachedRecords property. The default value of this property is false. If Pivot Cache is quite big, it can increase the performance. When Microsoft Excel file is exported to HTML using Microsoft Excel or Aspose.Cells APIs, it also exports various types of Document, Workbook and Worksheet properties. Microsoft Excel file may contain many unnecessary unused styles. When users export the Excel file to HTML file format, these unused styles are also exported. This could increase the size of HTML. Users can exclude the unused styles during the conversion of Excel file to HTML using the HtmlSaveOptions.ExcludeUnusedStyles property. Early versions of Aspose.Cells were not able to handle automatic units of chart axis properly when chart is rendered to image or pdf. Now, Aspose.Cells supports the handling of automatic units of chart axis. There is no code change. Just convert chart into image or pdf and it will render chart axis just like Microsoft Excel renders it. Earlier, Aspose.Cells would create PdfBookmarkEntry for normal sheet. But now Aspose.Cells can also create PdfBookmarkEntry for chart sheet. Since, chart sheet does not have any other cell except cell A1, so it will create PdfBookmarkEntry for cell A1 only. Below are some important new features, enhancement and bug fixes part of this release.
