1 Introduction
The Excel Binary File Format (.xlsb) Structure is a collection of records and structures that specify
workbook content, which can include unstructured or semi-structured tables of numbers, text, or
both numbers and text, formulas, external data connections, charts and images. Workbook content is
typically organized in a grid based layout, and often includes numeric data, structured data, and
formulas.
Sections 1.7 and 2 of this specification are normative. All other sections and examples in this
specification are informative.
1.1 Glossary
This document uses the following terms:
A1: A reference style in which each column (1) is identified sequentially from left-to-right with a
letter or series of letters in alphabetical order. Column headings are ordered A-Z, then AA-AZ,
BA-BZ... ZA-ZZ, AAA-AAZ, and so forth. Each row is numbered sequentially from the top down.
absolute path: A string that identifies the location of a file and that begins with a drive identifier
and root directory or network share and ends with the complete file name. Examples are C:\
Documents\Work\example.txt and \\netshare\Documents\Work\example.txt.
absolute reference: A reference to a fixed location on a sheet. An absolute reference always

refers to the same range, even if the formula that contains it is moved or copied to a new
location.
absolute URL: The full Internet address of a page or other World Wide Web resource. The
absolute URL includes a protocol, such as "http," a network location, and an optional path and
file name — for example, http://www.treyresearch.net/.
active cell: The cell that is currently selected in a worksheet.
active sheet: The sheet that is currently selected.
ActiveX control: A reusable software control, such as a check box or button, that uses ActiveX
technology and provides options to users or runs macros or scripts that automate a task. See
also ActiveX object.
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO): A data access interface that connects to, retrieves, manipulates,
and updates data in Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) database-compliant data sources.
ActiveX object: An object that is supplied by a component that supports automation.
add-in: Supplemental functionality that is provided by an external application or macro to extend

the capabilities of an application.
add-in function: A worksheet function that is provided by an add-in, instead of being built-in.
aggregation function: A function, such as sum or average, that appears in the total row of a
table and is used to summarize data.
ALL: See OLAP All member.
alternate startup directory: A secondary location that stores files to be opened by an application
when the application starts.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) character set: A character set defined by a
code page approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The term "ANSI" as
33 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
used to signify Windows code pages is a historical reference and a misnomer that persists in the
Windows community. The source of this misnomer stems from the fact that the Windows code
page 1252 was originally based on an ANSI draft, which became International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) Standard 8859-1 [ISO/IEC-8859-1]. In Windows, the ANSI character set
can be any of the following code pages: 1252, 1250, 1251, 1253, 1254, 1255, 1256, 1257,
1258, 874, 932, 936, 949, or 950. For example, "ANSI application" is usually a reference to a
non-Unicode or code-page-based application. Therefore, "ANSI character set" is often misused
to refer to one of the character sets defined by a Windows code page that can be used as an
active system code page; for example, character sets defined by code page 1252 or character
sets defined by code page 950. Windows is now based on Unicode, so the use of ANSI
character sets is strongly discouraged unless they are used to interoperate with legacy
applications or legacy data.
ARGB: A color space wherein each color is represented as a quad (A, R, G, B), where A represents
the alpha (transparency) component, R represents the red component, G represents the green
component, and B represents the blue component. The ARGB value is typically stored as a 32-
bit integer, wherein the alpha channel is stored in the highest 8 bits and the blue value is stored
in the lowest 8 bits.
ascending order: A sort order in which text strings are arranged in alphabetical order, numerical
values are arranged from smallest to largest, and dates and times are arranged from oldest to
newest.
ASCII: The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is an 8-bit character-
encoding scheme based on the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers,
communications equipment, and other devices that work with text. ASCII refers to a single 8-bit
ASCII character or an array of 8-bit ASCII characters with the high bit of each character set to
zero.
attribute: A characteristic of some object or entity, typically encoded as a name/value pair.
attribute drilldown: The process of examining the non-atomic constituent parts, such as
properties or data elements, that make up an object.
attribute hierarchy: A single-level hierarchy that uses only an attribute or a column from a
source, back-end relational database as its hierarchy. An attribute hierarchy typically has the

1.3 Structure Overview (Synopsis)
This document specifies workbook data contained in a ZIP package (section 2.1.1) conforming to
the Open Packaging Conventions as described in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016]. Individual files stored in the
ZIP package, called parts (section 2.1.2), contain information about the content of a workbook
including workbook data such as worksheet definitions. Some parts store information by using XML,
some parts store information by using binary records (section 2.1.4), and other parts contain
information stored as a binary stream of bytes. The binary record structure and content are specified
in this document. Each binary record contains its record type, information about the record size, and
zero or more type-specific fields depending on its record type, which is specified in Record
Enumeration (section 2.3). Type-specific fields contain information further specifying the workbook
data. Specifications of the fields for a given record type can be found in Records (section 2.4).
Unless otherwise specified, all data in files of the type specified by this document are stored in little-
endian format.
54 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
See File Structure (section 2.1) for a more detailed overview of specific file architecture and content.
1.4 Relationship to Protocols and Other Structures
The Excel Binary File Format is a package as described in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] containing a set of
related parts (section 2.1.2). It is dependent on the structures defined in the following references:
§ [MS-ODRAW] for the persistence format for shapes.
§ [MS-OFFCRYPTO] for the persistence format for document signing, information rights
management, document encryption and obfuscation.
§ [MS-OSHARED] for the persistence format for additional common structures.
§ [MS-OVBA] for the persistence format for a VBA project.
§ [MS-XLS] for command bar information and number formatting.
§ [MS-XLSX] for storing custom data, custom data properties, and drawing and control properties.
§ [MS-ODRAWXML] for images stored in the workbook.
§ [MS-DTYP] for specifying a relative security descriptor.
1.5 Applicability Statement
This document specifies a persistence format for workbook content and templates, which can include
unstructured or semi-structured tables of numbers, text, or both numbers and text, formulas, external
data connections, charts, and images. This persistence format is applicable for persistence of
documents with a grid based layout, including those with numeric data, structured data, and formulas.
This persistence format is applicable for use as a stand-alone document, and for containment within
other documents as an embedded object, as described in [MS-OLEDS].
This persistence format provides interoperability with applications that create or read documents
conforming to this structure.
1.6 Versioning and Localization
This document covers versioning issues in the following areas:
Structure Versions: There is only one version of this file format.
Localization: The following records and structures contain fields that specify locale-dependent
meaning:
§ BrtBeginHeaderFooter (section 2.4.89)
§ BrtFmt (section 2.4.675)
§ CodeName (section 2.5.21)
§ BrtFont (section 2.4.677)
The Security Considerations (section 4), Password Verifier Algorithm (section 2.2.9), Encryption
(section 2.2.11), and International Macro Sheet (section 2.1.7.31) also specify processes and data
that are locale-dependent. See each record, structure, and section description for more information.
55 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
1.7 Vendor-Extensible Fields
This persistence format can be extended by storing information in parts not specified in section 2.1.2.
Implementations are not required to preserve or remove additional parts when modifying an existing
document. See File Structure (section 2.1) for more information. Implementations can extend a part
specified in Section 2 by storing future records and alternate content blocks as specified in Future
Record (section 2.1.6). Implementations can extend the XML as described in [ISO/IEC29500-
3:2015]: Markup Compatibility and Extensibility.

related parts (section 2.1.2). Parts contain information about the contents of a workbook, including
workbook data and the structure of the package. Some parts contain information stored using binary
records (section 2.1.4), some parts contain information stored using XML, and other parts contain
information stored as a binary stream of bytes. Each binary record contains zero or more structured
fields that contain the workbook data.
2.1.1 Package
A file of the type specified by this document is a package that is a ZIP archive that conforms to the
Open Packaging Conventions as specified in [ISO/IEC29500-2:2012]: Open Packaging Conventions,
the further packaging restrictions as specified in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016]: Fundamentals, section 9,
and this specification.
A file of the type specified by this document MUST contain exactly one workbook (section 2.1.7.61)
part, and that part (section 2.1.2) MUST be the target of a relationship (section 2.1.3) in the package
relationship part. The workbook (section 2.1.7.61) part is the main or starting part in a file of the
type specified by this document.
2.1.2 Part
A part is a stream of bytes as specified in [ISO/IEC29500-2:2012]: Open Packaging Conventions,

section 8.2. Each part has an associated content type that specifies the nature and type of content
stored in the part. Some parts store information using binary records (section 2.1.4). Some parts
store information using XML.
The valid parts, content types, and required and optional relationships (section 2.1.3) between all
parts in a package (section 2.1.1) are specified in Part Enumeration (section 2.1.7). Each part that
contains binary records (section 2.1.4) MUST be written as a series of binary records as specified in
Part Enumeration.
This document uses Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) as specified in [RFC5234] to specify
the record (section 2.1.4) sequence for parts that contain binary records.
2.1.3 Relationship
A relationship specifies a connection between a source and a target resource as specified in

[ISO/IEC29500-2:2012]: Open Packaging Conventions, section 8.3. Relationship identifiers are used
in binary and XML part (section 2.1.2) content to reference unique relationship elements in
relationship parts that in turn target other resources. There are several different types of
relationships:
§ A package relationship is a relationship where the target is a part and the source is the package
(section 2.1.1) as a whole.
§ A part-to-part relationship is a relationship where the target is a part (section 2.1.2) and the
source is a part in the package.
§ An explicit relationship is a relationship where a resource is referenced from the contents of a
source part by referencing the ID attribute value of a relationship element.
§ An implicit relationship is a relationship that is not explicit.
57 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
§ An internal relationship is a relationship where the target is a part in the package.
§ An external relationship is a relationship where the target is an external resource not in the
package.
2.1.4 Record
A record is the basic building block used to store information about features in a workbook. Each
binary record is a variable-length sequence of bytes. A binary record consists of three components: a
record type, a record size, and the record data that is specific to that record type.
The record type is an integer that specifies what type of information is specified by the record and how
the structure of the record data specific to this record is ordered and structured. Each valid record
type is listed in Record Enumeration (section 2.3). The record type MUST be either one or two bytes.
The record type MUST be two bytes if and only if the high bit in the low byte is equal to 1; otherwise,
the record type MUST be one byte. If the record type is two bytes, the value consists of seven low bits
of the high byte combined with the seven low bits of the low byte. This value MUST be greater than or
equal to 128 and less than 16384. For performance reasons, one-byte record types are reserved for
commonly used records. Record type values MUST be a value from Record Enumeration (section 2.3)
or the record MUST make use of the future record (section 2.1.6) architecture.
The record size specifies the count of bytes that specifies the total size of the record data. This value
MUST be one to four bytes. This value MUST be one byte if the high bit in the low byte is equal to 0;
otherwise, this value MUST be greater than one byte. If the count of bytes is greater than one byte,
the high bit in each successive byte specifies whether an additional byte is used. If the high bit of the
second byte is equal to 1, then this value MUST use an additional third byte. If the high bit of the third
byte is equal to 1, then this value MUST use an additional fourth byte. The high bit of the fourth byte
MUST be ignored. The value consists of the seven low bits of each byte combined. The low, least
significant bits are contained within the first byte, and each successive byte contains higher order bits
than the previous byte.
The record data component contains fields that correspond to a particular record type and comprise
the remainder of the record. The order and structure of the fields for a given record type listed in
Record Enumeration (section 2.3) are specified in the corresponding section for that record type in
Records (section 2.4). The total size of the record data component MUST be equal to the record size.
Fields in the record data component can contain simple values, arrays of values, structures of several
fields, arrays of fields, and arrays of structures.
For example, the following record type and record size specify a BrtCommentText (section 2.4.336)
record with a size of 200 bytes:
11111101 00000100 11001000 00000001 [Record Fields]
The first byte is 11111101, specifying a low value of 125 and that the record type requires a second
byte. The second byte is 00000100, specifying a high value of 4 * 128, which equals 512. The record
type value is 125 + 512, or 637, which corresponds to a BrtCommentText (section 2.4.336) record
type. The next byte is 11001000, specifying a low value of 72 and that the record size requires a
second byte. The second byte is 00000001, specifying a higher value of 1 * 128 and that the record
size does not require an additional byte. The record size is 72 + 128, or 200, which specifies the total
size, in bytes, of the record data component. The fields in the record data component are specified by
BrtCommentText (section 2.4.336).
2.1.5 Collection of Records
A collection of records (section 2.1.4) is a series of related records that are treated as a single set.
Records in a collection do not have to share the same record type. A collection of records can further
contain other collections of records. The beginning of a collection of records is sometimes indicated by
a different type of record, as specified in the record sequence ABNF where the rule that contains that
58 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
record is specified. Similarly the end of a collection of records is sometimes indicated by a different
type of record, as specified by the record sequence ABNF where the rule that contains that record is
specified. Each record or collection within the collection can be referred to by index, and the index
count starts over for each collection.
In this document, record A precedes record B when record A is the last record of that type to appear
before record B, in the part (section 2.1.2) that contains those records.
In this document, record B follows record A when record A is the last record of that type to appear
before record B, in the part that contains those records.
2.1.6 Future Record
The future record (section 2.1.6) architecture enables the file format to be extended with new or
alternate content while maintaining compatibility with applications that do not support the new
content. The future record architecture consists of a future record mechanism and an alternate
content mechanism. The future record mechanism enables an application that does not support
certain future records to open and save the file while ignoring but preserving those future records in
the file, and correctly modifying cell references and formulas associated with the records. The
alternate content mechanism enables an application to introduce extensions that target particular
implementations.
2.1.6.1 Future Record Mechanism
Future records are specified as a collection of records (section 2.1.4) that exists between a set of
BrtFRTBegin (section 2.4.678) and BrtFRTEnd (section 2.4.679) record pairs. An application uses
the productVersion.product and productVersion.version fields of the BrtFRTBegin record to
determine whether that application supports the collection of future records following that BrtFRTEnd
record.
An application supports the collection of future records following a given BrtFRTBegin record if the
productVersion.product field matches the application’s product value, and the
productVersion.version field is less than or equal to the application’s version value. Otherwise the
application does not support the collection of future records following this BrtFRTBegin record, and
can ignore but preserve those future records in the file, including the BrtFRTBegin and BrtFRTEnd
records.
Every record in the collection of future records between a set of BrtFRTBegin and BrtFRTEnd
records—except BrtFRTBegin, BrtFRTEnd, BrtACBegin (section 2.4.2), and BrtACEnd (section
2.4.3) records—is a future record and MUST start with an FRTHeader (section 2.5.60) structure that
specifies future record attributes unless the record is less than 4 bytes, in which case an FRTBlank
(section 2.5.54) is inferred as the FRTHeader structure for that future record, and the bytes in the
future record specify record data. Future record data that occurs after the FRTHeader is application
specific.
For example, consider an application that implements the basic concepts of a spreadsheet as specified
by the structures and records in this document and that implements other features and concepts not
specified in this document. That application can use the future record mechanism to persist data
associated with those other features and concepts as extensions to the structures and records
specified in this document.
2.1.6.2 Alternate Content Mechanism
Alternate content is specified as a collection of records (section 2.1.4) that exists between a set of
BrtACBegin (section 2.4.2) and BrtACEnd (section 2.4.3) record pairs. The RgACVer field of a
BrtACBegin record specifies an array of ACProductVersion (section 2.5.1) structures that specify a
list of application product and version values and whether a version value is extended for all future
59 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
versions. An application uses the RgACVer.ACProductVersion.fileProduct,
RgACVer.ACProductVersion.fileVersion and RgACVer.ACProductVersion.fileExtension fields of
the BrtACBegin record to determine whether the application is the intended target of the collection of
records following that BrtACBegin record.
An application is the target of the collection of records following a given BrtACBegin if for at least one
element of the RgACVer array the ACProductVersion.fileProduct field matches the application’s
product value, and the ACProductVersion.fileVersion field is equal to the application’s version value
and the ACProductVersion.fileExtension field is 0, or the ACProductVersion.fileVersion field is
less than or equal to the application’s version value and the ACProductVersion.fileExtension field is
1. Otherwise the application is not the target of the collection of records following this BrtACBegin
record, and MUST ignore on load and discard these records when saving the file, including the
associated BrtACBegin and BrtACEnd records.
Multiple blocks of alternate content for different implementations can be specified with consecutive
BrtACBegin and BrtACEnd record pairs and their collections of records. Alternate content records are
permitted in any record sequence within any part that contains Binary Interchange File Format
(BIFF) records.
For example, consider an application that implements the basic concepts of a spreadsheet as specified
by the structures and records in this document and enhances some of those concepts with additional
features and concepts that one or more other applications support. That application can persist the
basic concepts using records and structures specified by this document, and can persist the enhanced
set of properties associated with those concepts and features as alternate content blocks, where each
content block targets an application that supports those records. Instead of being required to maintain
and preserve each of the alternate content blocks, in this case the application only loads the records it
supports and discards all alternate content blocks it does not support. On save the application might
or might not write an entirely new or different set of alternate content blocks.
2.1.7 Part Enumeration
This section specifies the parts (section 2.1.2) of the Excel Binary File Format (.xlsb) package. Refer to
File Structure (section 2.1) and Relationship (section 2.1.3) for information about packages, parts,
implicit relationships, explicit relationships, and the package relationship part.
If a part is in Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF) format, the record sequence is specified
using ABNF grammar. The first rule in each rule list comprises the entire record sequence for that
part. Subsequent rules are fragments of the first rule.

2.2 Conceptual Overview
This section specifies how higher-level features of the file format are represented by combinations of
records.
2.2.1 Cell Table
Text, formulas, and numerical data within worksheets are primarily stored in the cells that make up
worksheets (section 2.1.7.62) and macro sheets (section 2.1.7.32). Cells are the fundamental building
blocks that contain data, formulas (section 2.2.2), and formatting to form the worksheets. The data
structure associated with the grid of cells is called the cell table.
The cell table is stored in the sequence of records that conform to the CELLTABLE rule in the
Common Productions (section 2.1.8) part ABNF. The cells are contained between
BrtBeginSheetData (section 2.4.198) and BrtEndSheetData (section 2.4.546) records. They are
stored in a row-major order, with a BrtRowHdr (section 2.4.747) record saved for every non-empty
row, where a non-empty row is a row that contains data, formatting, metadata, or phonetic
information.
102 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Every row is divided into 16 column (1) blocks, and each column (1) block spans 1024 columns (1).
Each BrtRowHdr (section 2.4.747) record contains an array of BrtColSpan (section 2.5.8) structures
that specifies the column (1) blocks in that row that have non-empty cells, where a non-empty cell is
a cell that contains data, individual cell formatting, metadata, or phonetic information. Formatting
information for a cell can be derived from individual cell formatting, row formatting, column (1)
formatting, or the default cell format as specified by the Normal Style (section 2.2.6.1.2.2). The order
of precedence for formatting is individual cell formatting with the highest precedence, followed by row
formatting, and then column (1) formatting, and lastly the default cell format.
Cells are specified by BrtCellBlank (section 2.4.314), BrtCellRk (section 2.4.322), BrtCellError
(section 2.4.316), BrtCellBool (section 2.4.315), BrtCellReal (section 2.4.321), BrtCellSt (section
2.4.325), BrtCellIsst (section 2.4.319), BrtFmlaString (section 2.4.674), BrtFmlaNum (section
2.4.673), BrtFmlaBool (section 2.4.671), BrtFmlaError (section 2.4.672), or BrtCellRString
(section 2.4.323) records. Each of these records contains a Cell (section 2.5.9) structure that specifies
which column (1) the cell belongs to.
The sequence of records that conform to the CELLTABLE rule (defined in section 2.1.8) begin with the
BrtBeginSheetData (section 2.4.198) record, followed by the first BrtRowHdr (section 2.4.747)
representing the first non-empty row. The BrtRowHdr is followed by records representing every non-
empty cell in that row in column (1)-major order, including any of the records in the CELL rule
(defined in section 2.1.8). This series of records is repeated for every non-empty row and non-empty
cell, and ends with the BrtEndSheetData (section 2.4.546) record.
A cell in the cell table is referred to by its row and column (1) indexes, which are zero-based. The
maximum row index is 1048575; the maximum column (1) index is 16383. The bounding box of the
actual non-empty cells is stored in the BrtWsDim (section 2.4.843) record. Information pertaining to
each column (1) is specified in the COLINFOS collection (section 2.1.8).
2.2.1.1 Retrieval of Last-Calculated Cell Values Without Loading Cell Table
The only way to retrieve formulas, formats and other cell data is to read the cell table normally as
defined previously. However, in certain situations (for example when resolving external references to
values) it is beneficial to retrieve only the last calculated value from a cell, without actually loading the
cell table. For this reason, a binary index exists within the file that specifies data used to improve the
performance of a random read access to the cell table (section 2.2.1) data in a worksheet (section
2.1.7.62) part or macro sheet (section 2.1.7.32) part. To find a position of a particular cell within a
file, an application can perform the following steps:
1. Open the worksheet binary index (section 2.1.7.63) part or the macro sheet binary index
part (section 2.1.7.33) that corresponds to the sheet to which the cell belongs.
2. Read BrtIndexBlock (section 2.4.683) records to find one such that the zero-based cell row is
greater than or equal to rwMic and less than rwMac.
3. If no such BrtIndexBlock record exists, then the row has no data or formatting.
4. Read a BrtIndexRowBlock (section 2.4.686) record that immediately follows this

BrtIndexBlock record, and compute the data offset according to the description of the
BrtIndexRowBlock record.
5. Open the corresponding Worksheet part (section 2.1.7.62) or macro sheet part (section
2.1.7.32).
6. Read cell table (section 2.2.1) data starting from the previously computed position to find the cell
record for the target cell.
7. If the end of the row in the cell table (section 2.2.1) or a record whose column (1) is greater
than the column (1) of the target cell is reached, then the cell is blank and has no formatting.

2.2.2 Formulas
A formula is sequence of values, cell references, names, functions, or operators in a cell that
together produce a new value. Formulas are stored in a tokenized representation known as a parsed
expression. In this section, formula is a synonym for parsed expression. A parsed expression is
converted into a textual formula at runtime for display and user editing. Cell formulas are specified by
the BrtFmlaBool (section 2.4.671), BrtFmlaError (section 2.4.672), BrtFmlaNum (section 2.4.673)
and BrtFmlaString (section 2.4.674) records. Array formulas are specified by the BrtArrFmla
(section 2.4.6) record. Shared formulas are specified by the BrtShrFmla (section 2.4.771) record.
Formulas that are part of a revision as specified in the Shared Workbooks (section 2.2.12) overview
are specified by the rgce.rgce field or the rgceOld.rgce field of the BrtRRDefName (section
2.4.751) record, or by the sequence of records that conform to the CELL rule (defined in section
2.1.7.44) in the BrtRRChgCell (section 2.4.749) collection.
A parsed expression contains a sequence of parse tokens, each of which is either an operand token
(section 2.2.2.2), an operator token (section 2.2.2.1), a control token (section 2.2.2.3), a display
token (section 2.2.2.4), or a mem token (section 2.2.2.5). All tokens are stored as Parse Things
(section 2.5.97.16).
With the exception of control tokens, display tokens and mem tokens that are described in subsequent
sections, parsed expressions are stored in an Rgce (section 2.5.97.88) structure using Reverse-Polish
notation. Reverse-Polish notation is a logical system for the specification of mathematical formulas in
which operands are followed by operators. Inside an Rgce, the operands and operators are
represented by an array of Ptg (section 2.5.97.16) structures of variable lengths. The first one or two
bytes of a Ptg structure contain the token type that determines which specific Ptg type the Ptg is, as
specified in the Ptg structure. The remainder of the structure varies according to the token type.
Evaluation of a formula specified in Reverse-Polish notation is usually based around an evaluation

stack. The expression is parsed from beginning to end, and operands are pushed onto the stack as
they are encountered. When operators are encountered, the required number of operands is popped
from the stack and the result of the operation is pushed back onto the stack. Evaluation begins with
an empty stack, and when the evaluation is finished, there will be exactly one value left on the stack.
The value is the result of the evaluation. Subsequent subsections refer to a stack as described by this
model.
2.2.2.1 Operator Tokens
Unary Operator Tokens
Unary operator tokens specify operations that are performed on the previous element in the grammar
specified by Rgce (section 2.5.97.88). For example, PtgPercent (section 2.5.97.65) divides the last
expression on the stack by 100.
Binary Operator Tokens
Binary operator tokens specify operations that are performed on the previous two elements in the
grammar specified by Rgce (section 2.5.97.88). For example, PtgIsect (section 2.5.97.50) intersects
the topmost two expressions on the stack.
2.2.2.2 Operand Tokens
Operand tokens represent values and references that are used by operators and functions. Operands
fall into one of two classes, reference class (section 2.2.2.2.2) or value class (section 2.2.2.2.1),
depending on what result type the formula expects from the operand.
2.2.2.2.1 Value Class
104 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
The value class operand is the most common type of operand, and represents a single value or array
of values. When Ptgs (section 2.5.97.16) with reference contents are used by an operator that
requires value class operands, the Ptgs can be stored as value class operands rather than reference
class (section 2.2.2.2.2) operands. For example, in a formula where the contents of A1 is added to the
integer value 1, the value of cell A1 is pushed onto the stack as a value class operand PtgRef
(section 2.5.97.68) because the subsequent PtgAdd (section 2.5.97.17) operator requires value class
operands. Arrays are stored in a similar fashion. For example, when adding the array of values
{1,2,3,4,5,6}, the values are stored in a PtgArray (section 2.5.97.23) operand.
2.2.2.2.2 Reference Class
When operands are stored as reference class operands, any references contained in the operand are
not de-referenced and do not return the underlying value or values. They are pushed onto the stack in
reference form.
2.2.2.3 Control Tokens
Control tokens do not perform operations or push values onto the stack. Conditional control tokens
PtgAttrIf (section 2.5.97.27), PtgAttrChoose (section 2.5.97.25), PtgAttrIfError (section
2.5.97.28), and PtgAttrGoTo (section 2.5.97.26) are used at runtime to prescribe short-circuit
evaluation inside conditional functions and can be ignored when converting parsed expressions into
textual formulas.
2.2.2.4 Display Tokens
Display tokens, such as control tokens, do not perform operations or push values onto the stack.
Display tokens PtgParen (section 2.5.97.64) and PtgAttrSpace (section 2.5.97.30) are used at
runtime to represent parentheses and space characters in a formula when parsed expressions are
converted into textual formulas. Display tokens do not affect the order of operations of the formula.
2.2.2.5 Mem Tokens
Mem tokens have two purposes: they cache the results of reference class (section 2.2.2.2.2)
expressions and they can return the results of reference class expressions as value class (section
2.2.2.2.1) expressions. Mem tokens act on binary-reference-expressions (section 2.5.97.88) that
follow them in a mem-area-expression (section 2.5.97.88).
2.2.2.6 Formula Elements
Some Ptgs (section 2.5.97.16) require extra data that is not stored in the Rgce (section 2.5.97.88).
When an Rgce contains one or more of these Ptgs, the containing formula structure includes an
RgbExtra (section 2.5.97.87) containing the data for those Ptgs. The size of these components is
specified by the RgbExtra structures. The Ptgs do not contain an offset into the RgbExtra for their
data. The Ptgs that require a corresponding structure in RgbExtra are specified in RgbExtra.
2.2.3 Charts
2.2.3.1 Chart Part
A chart part is specified in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 14.2.1. The content associated with this
part is specified in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 21.2.
105 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.3.2 Pivot Chart
A pivot chart is a specific type of chart part (section 2.2.3.1) that uses a PivotTable (section 2.2.5)
as its data source.
2.2.4 Metadata
Metadata is additional data associated with a particular cell or its content.
All metadata information is located in the metadata part (section 2.1.7.34), within the
BrtBeginMetadata (section 2.4.111) and BrtEndMetadata (section 2.4.460) records.
106 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Figure 1: Metadata
The following sections define terms used in the previous figure.
2.2.4.1 Metadata Types
The architecture of metadata allows for multiple types of metadata.
Each type of metadata has a metadata store (section 2.2.4.4) inside the metadata part (section
2.1.7.34), a unique name, and a set of predefined properties. Those properties describe whether the
107 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
metadata propagates with the cell or its content during runtime operations (for example, insert, shift,
copy/paste, merge, or unmerge operations), as well as whether the metadata is cell metadata (section
2.2.4.2) or value metadata (section 2.2.4.3).
A metadata type is represented by a BrtMdtinfo (section 2.4.698) record. All metadata types are
located within the BrtBeginEsmdtinfo (section 2.4.74) and BrtEndEsmdtinfo (section 2.4.423)
records inside the metadata part (section 2.1.7.34).
2.2.4.2 Cell Metadata
Cell metadata is metadata associated with a cell itself. Cell metadata is associated with a cell through
a BrtCellMeta (section 2.4.320) record referencing a cell metadata block (section 2.2.4.5) within the
metadata part (section 2.1.7.34).
2.2.4.3 Value Metadata
Value metadata is metadata associated with the value of a particular cell. Value metadata is
associated with a cell through a BrtValueMeta (section 2.4.830) record, or with an External Cell
(section 2.2.7.4.1.2.1) through a BrtExternValueMeta (section 2.4.662) record. Either record
references a metadata block (section 2.2.4.5) containing value metadata within the metadata part
(section 2.1.7.34).
2.2.4.4 Metadata Stores
Actual metadata values are stored in metadata record stores. There are two types of metadata records
stores: MDX metadata store for holding MDX metadata (section 2.2.4.8), and future metadata store
for holding non-MDX metadata known as future metadata (section 2.2.4.9).
2.2.4.5 Metadata Block
Cells are associated with actual metadata values using a metadata mapping table, known as a
metadata block. A metadata block contains a collection of indexes into a metadata store (section
2.2.4.4), along with the corresponding metadata types (section 2.2.4.1).
2.2.4.6 Metadata Block Stores
Metadata blocks (section 2.2.4.5) are stored within collections called metadata block stores inside the
metadata part (section 2.1.7.34). There can be two of these metadata block collections: one for cell
metadata (section 2.2.4.2) and another for value metadata (section 2.2.4.3).
The collection of records that specifies the metadata for a metadata block store starts with a
BrtBeginEsmdb (section 2.4.73) record and ends with a BrtEndEsmdb (section 2.4.422) record.
Within each collection is a set of BrtMdb (section 2.4.697) records that each specifies a metadata
block.
2.2.4.7 Metadata String Store
Metadata-related text strings are assembled in a single metadata string store. The stored strings are
unique, and each string can be indexed by one or more metadata records. The metadata string store
is a performance optimization for reading and writing repetitive information only once. For example, a
metadata string can be a connection name to an OLAP cube that is used in several cube functions
in the workbook.
A metadata string is represented by a BrtStr (section 2.4.783) record. All metadata strings are
located within the BrtBeginEsstr (section 2.4.76) and BrtEndEsstr section 2.4.425) records inside
the metadata part.
108 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.4.8 MDX Metadata
MDX is the only defined metadata type. MDX metadata is used to maintain cached state for cube
functions.
The metadata type (section 2.2.4.1) of MDX metadata MUST have the following properties:
§ The grbit field of the BrtMdtinfo (section 2.4.698) record MUST have the following values:
MdtFlags properties Value
fGhostRw 0
fGhostCol 0
fEdit 0
fDelete 0
fCopy 1
fPasteAll 1
fPasteFmlas 0
fPasteValues 1

fCellMeta 0
109 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
§ The metadataID field of the BrtMdtinfo (section 2.4.698) record MUST be 120000.
§ The stName field of the BrtMdtinfo record MUST be "XLMDX".
MDX metadata records are stored in the MDX metadata store (section 2.2.4.4). An MDX metadata
record references the connection name and the cube function used to calculate the cell value.
An MDX metadata record also contains one additional record that further describes the MDX metadata
record. That additional record depends on the type of cube function used, and MUST be an MDX tuple
metadata (section 2.2.4.8.1) record, an MDX set metadata (section 2.2.4.8.2) record, an MDX
member property metadata (section 2.2.4.8.3) record, or an MDX KPI metadata (section 2.2.4.8.4)
record.
An MDX metadata record is specified by a BrtBeginMdx (section 2.4.105) record and ends with a
BrtEndMdx (section 2.4.454) record. All MDX metadata records are stored in the MDX metadata store
(section 2.2.4.4) specified by the BrtBeginEsmdx (section 2.4.75) record and ends with a
BrtEndEsmdx (section 2.4.424) record.
2.2.4.8.1 MDX Tuple Metadata
An MDX tuple is the intersection between two or more members from different dimensions.
MDX tuple metadata is used by cube functions returning a member or a value.
MDX tuple metadata is represented within an MDX metadata (section 2.2.4.8) record as an ordered
collection of members.
An MDX tuple is specified by a BrtBeginMdxTuple (section 2.4.109) record and ends with a
BrtEndMdxTuple (section 2.4.458) record. Members are specified by BrtMdxMbrIstr (section
2.4.699) records.
2.2.4.8.2 MDX Set Metadata
An MDX set is an ordered collection of members within the same dimension.
MDX set metadata is used by cube functions returning a set or the number of items in a set.
An MDX set is specified by a BrtBeginMdxSet (section 2.4.108) record and ends with BrtEndMdxSet
(section 2.4.457) record within an MDX metadata store (section 2.2.4.4) . Members are specified by
BrtMdxMbrIstr (section 2.4.699) records.
2.2.4.8.3 MDX Member Property Metadata
An MDX member property represents the property value of a member.
MDX member property metadata references a member name and a property name.
An MDX member property is specified by a BrtBeginMdxMbrProp (section 2.4.107) record and a

BrtEndMdxMbrProp (section 2.4.456) record within an MDX metadata store (section 2.2.4.4).
2.2.4.8.4 MDX KPI Metadata
An MDX key performance indicator (KPI) represents the KPI property value of a KPI member.
MDX KPI metadata references a KPI name, a KPI property, and a member name.
An MDX KPI is specified by a BrtBeginMdxKPI (section 2.4.106) record and a BrtEndMdxKPI

(section 2.4.455) record within an MDX metadata store (section 2.2.4.4).
110 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.4.9 Future Metadata
Future metadata is non-MDX metadata.
Each metadata type (section 2.2.4.1) of future metadata, inside the metadata part (section 2.1.7.34) ,
has its own metadata store (section 2.2.4.4) that is uniquely identified by its name and that contains
future metadata records.
Each future metadata can be indexed by either a cell metadata (section 2.2.4.2) or a metadata block
(section 2.2.4.5) for value metadata (section 2.2.4.3).
A future metadata is specified by a BrtBeginFmd (section 2.4.85) record and ends with a
BrtEndFmd (section 2.4.434) record within a metadata store (section 2.2.4.4).
2.2.5 PivotTables
A PivotTable is a mechanism for summarizing source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) to get an overview of the
distribution of that data. In a PivotTable, applicable columns (1) of the source data become fields
that can be used to summarize data. In the case of using OLAP source data, OLAP hierarchies and
some other OLAP entities become fields in the PivotTable.
A PivotTable has two major parts, a PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) and a PivotTable view (section
2.2.5.3). There can be multiple PivotTable views based on a single PivotCache.
OLAP PivotTables have one PivotTable view based on a PivotCache, see section 2.2.5.3.1 for details.
See section 2.2.5.2.1 for the specification of an OLAP PivotCache. See section 2.2.5.3 for the
specification of an OLAP PivotTable view.
The values produced by a PivotTable are placed in cells of a sheet and these cells make up a
PivotTable report.
The PivotTable structures are not needed to obtain values from a PivotTable report because those
values are available in the sheet cells. The structures are needed for the following purposes:
§ To show extra information related to a PivotTable in an application, such as sort and filter
information.
§ To recalculate a PivotTable view, incorporating changes made to it such as sort and filter, and
update the corresponding PivotTable report accordingly.
§ To refresh a PivotCache, incorporating changes made to the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1), and
then recalculate any PivotTable views associated with the PivotCache and update the
corresponding PivotTable reports accordingly.
In addition to being used by PivotTable views, a PivotCache is used by cube functions for caching
data. For details, see section 2.2.5.2 and section 2.2.5.2.11.
2.2.5.1 Data Functionality Level
A data functionality level is a number that represents a set of features and runtime behaviors in areas
related to data manipulation and display, which includes PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), query
tables and External Connections (section 2.2.8).
The data functionality level that a PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) is created with is specified by the
bVerCacheCreated field of the BrtBeginPivotCacheDef (section 2.4.167) record. The data
functionality level that a PivotTable view is created with is specified by the bVerSxMacro field of the
BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record.
111 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
The following table specifies various restrictions based on the value of the bVerCacheCreated field of
the BrtBeginPivotCacheDef record.
Restriction for data Restriction for data

Restriction functionality level <3 functionality level >=3
Maximum number of cache fields (section 1024 16384

2.2.5.2.2)

formula specified by the
pcdCalcMemCommon.stMdx field in the
BrtBeginPCDCalcMem (section 2.4.125)
record
The bVerSxMacro field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record MUST be greater than or
equal to 3 if and only if the bVerCacheCreated field of the BrtBeginPivotCacheDef (section
2.4.167) record is greater than or equal to 3.
2.2.5.2 PivotCache
The PivotCache contains cached information about source data (section 2.2.5.2.1). The cached
information is used by PivotTable Views (section 2.2.5.3) to generate PivotTable (section 2.2.5)
reports, or it is used by cube functions to display OLAP data sets and values. The same PivotCache
MUST NOT be used by both a PivotTable view and a cube function. The information contained in a
PivotCache includes organization, data types and the values of the source data.
The PivotCache is divided into two parts. The first part consists of the optional cache record (section
2.2.5.2.10) structures, as specified by the PivotCache record (section 2.1.7.39) part. The cache
record structures represent a snapshot of the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) and enable a PivotTable
view (section 2.2.5.3) that uses a PivotCache to be recalculated without retrieving the source data.
The cache record structures do not exist for OLAP source data.
The second part of a PivotCache is the set of structures that describe metadata about the source
data (section 2.2.5.2.1), such as where it comes from, the data entities it has, and the unique values
of those entities, as specified by the PivotCache definition (section 2.1.7.38) part.
See section 2.2.5.2.1 for the specification of an OLAP PivotCache.
2.2.5.2.1 Source Data
A PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) can be based on four different types of source data. The type of
source data is specified by the iSrcType field of the BrtBeginPCDSource (section 2.4.165) record.
When the source data type is a range, which occurs when iSrcType is equal to 0x00000000, the
source data is read from a range specified by the BrtBeginPCDSRange (section 2.4.166) record. If
the range specified by the BrtBeginPCDSRange record is a table then the PivotCache (section
2.2.5.2) has one cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) for each column (1) of the table, using the column
(1) header captions for cache field names, and the data region of the table as source data values,
specified by cache records (section 2.2.5.2.10). If the range specified by the BrtBeginPCDSRange
record is not a table then the PivotCache has one cache field for each column (1) of the range, using
112 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
the values in the first row of the range for cache field names, and all other rows are used as source
data values, specified by cache records.
When the source data type is a scenario, which occurs when iSrcType is equal to 0x00000003, no
new source data is available for the PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) and the PivotCache cannot be
refreshed. A snapshot of the source data might be available in the cache records.
When the source data type is multiple consolidation ranges (section 2.2.5.2.1.1), which occurs when
iSrcType is equal to 0x00000002, the source data is read from one or more ranges. For more details,
see section 2.2.5.2.1.1.
When the source data type is external, which occurs when iSrcType is equal to 0x00000001, the
source data is read from an external data source. The dwConnID field of the BrtBeginPCDSource
record specifies the associated external connection that is used to obtain data from the external data
source. An external data source can either be an OLAP or non-OLAP data source.
An OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) is specified to be a PivotCache has an associated external

connection that is an OLAP connection (section 2.2.8.3.1). For an OLAP PivotCache, the source data
is handled by the data provider specified by the associated OLAP connection. See OLAP Data Model
(section 2.2.5.4) for more information. An OLAP PivotCache MUST NOT have cache records (section
2.2.5.2.10).
For a non-OLAP PivotCache the source data is a rectangular set of data and the PivotCache has one
cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) for each column (1) of data, using the source field names for cache field
names, and the rows of the source data as data values, specified by cache records.
When a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) is on the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1) of the PivotTable view
(section 2.2.5.3), it is a server-based page field if the fServerBased field of the BrtBeginSXVD
(section 2.4.270) record is equal to 1 and the fServerBased field of the associated
BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record is equal to 1. A server-based page field is a pivot field on
the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1) that causes the query that is used to retrieve source data for
populating the PivotCache to be parameterized. The query is parameterized according to the page
filter criteria, as specified in section 2.2.5.3.7.1. This feature can only be used for a PivotCache with
ODBC external source data.
2.2.5.2.1.1 Multiple Consolidation Ranges
A multiple consolidation ranges PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) is used for summarizing multiple
ranges containing source data in cross-tab format. Each range is specified by the rfx field or the
irstName field of the BrtBeginPCDSCSet (section 2.4.153) record. The sequence of records that
conform to the PCDSCONSOL rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) specify information that only exists
for a multiple consolidation ranges PivotCache.
An example of a range in cross-tab format is illustrated in the following figure. The first column (1) of
the range contains names of sales people (George and Allan). The first row in the range contains
product groups (Cars and Bikes) and the rest of the cells in the range contain numeric values
representing how many products in a certain product group that each sales person sold.
Figure 2: Example of a range in cross-tab format
A multiple consolidation ranges PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) is used to summarize multiple cross-tab
ranges as illustrated in the next figure which shows eight cross-tab ranges.
113 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Figure 3: Example of eight ranges in cross-tab format
The values in the first column (1) of each range are used to create a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2)
with the default name "Row" (or corresponding localized name); each cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3)
of this cache field corresponds to one of the values in the first column (1) of the ranges, eliminating
duplicates. This cache field is the first cache field in the BrtBeginPCDFields (section 2.4.136)
collection.
The values in the first row of each range are used to create a cache field with the default name
"Column" (or corresponding localized name); each cache item of this cache field corresponds to one of
the values in the first row of the ranges, eliminating duplicates. This cache field is the second cache
field in the BrtBeginPCDFields collection.
The values in all other cells of each range are used to create a cache field with the default name
"Value" (or corresponding localized name); each cache item of this cache field corresponds to one of
the values in the ranges that are not in the first column (1) or first row, eliminating duplicates. This
cache field is the third cache field in the BrtBeginPCDFields collection.
Up to four additional cache fields can optionally exist with the default names "Page1", "Page2",
"Page3" and "Page4" (or corresponding localized names). The number of optional cache fields created
114 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
is user defined and is equal to the cPages field of the BrtBeginPCDSCPages (section 2.4.151)
record. Each optional cache field corresponds to a BrtBeginPCDSCPage (section 2.4.150) record.
The first through fourth BrtBeginPCDSCPage record in the BrtBeginPCDSCPages collection

corresponds to the fourth through seventh cache field in the BrtBeginPCDFields (section 2.4.136)
collection and each cache item of this cache field corresponds to the BrtBeginPCDSCPItem (section
2.4.152) record in that BrtBeginPCDSCPage collection with the same index.
The rgiItem field of the BrtBeginPCDSCSet (section 2.4.153) record is an array of indexes that
specifies BrtBeginPCDSCPItem (section 2.4.152) records in the PCDSCPAGE rule (defined in
section 2.1.7.38). Each BrtBeginPCDSCPItem record specifies the value of a cache item associated
with a range.
The first element in the rgiItem array corresponds to the first BrtBeginPCDSCPage collection in the
BrtBeginPCDSCPages collection following the BrtBeginPCDSConsol (section 2.4.149) collection
that precedes this record.
The second element in the rgiItem array corresponds to the second BrtBeginPCDSCPage collection
in the BrtBeginPCDSCPages collection following the BrtBeginPCDSConsol collection that precedes
this record.
The third element in the rgiItem array corresponds to the third BrtBeginPCDSCPage collection in
the BrtBeginPCDSCPages collection following the BrtBeginPCDSConsol collection that precedes
this record.
The fourth element in the rgiItem array corresponds to the fourth BrtBeginPCDSCPage collection in
the BrtBeginPCDSCPages collection following the BrtBeginPCDSConsol collection that precedes
this record.
Each cache record (section 2.2.5.2.10) for a multiple consolidation ranges PivotCache (section
2.2.5.2) corresponds to the intersection of a value in the first row of one of the ranges, a value in the
first column (1) of one of the ranges and the set of BrtBeginPCDSCPItem records associated with
that range.
The preceding example with the eight ranges and with two of the optional BrtBeginPCDSCPage
records specified ("Page1" and "Page2"), corresponds to cache records as illustrated in the following
table.

Figure 4: Representation of cache records based on eight consolidation ranges
The following figure illustrates a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report with multiple consolidation ranges
and two pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) on the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1). The PivotTable report
is based on the previous figure that illustrates eight ranges in cross-tab format and is summarizing the
values from all the ranges because no manual filter (section 2.2.5.3.5) has been applied to any of the
pivot fields on the page axis ("Page1" and "Page2" are both set to summarize all values).

2.2.5.2.2 Cache Fields
A cache field represents an entity by which data can be summarized. An example of such an entity is
country/region. Having a country/region cache field enables users to summarize data by
country/region.
Consider a PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) based on the following source data (section 2.2.5.2.1):
Country/Region Product Date Sales
USA Bicycle 6/5/2007 500
USA Car 8/3/2007 20000
Canada Bicycle 9/2/2007 300
Canada Car 10/5/2007 35000
In this example, four cache fields exist in the PivotCache. Each cache field corresponds to one of the
columns (1) in the source data: Country/Region, Product, Date and Sales.
The sequence of records that conform to the PCDFIELD rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) specifies a
cache field. A cache field is contained in a PivotCache.
The sequence of records that conform to the PCDFIELDS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) specifies
all cache fields of the PivotCache.
A cache field index is a zero-based index of a PCDFIELD rule in the sequence of records specified by
the PCDFIELDS rule.
A cache field typically corresponds to a source data column (1) or to a level of an OLAP hierarchy.
However, grouping (section 2.2.5.2.4) cache fields and cache fields representing calculated fields
(section 2.2.5.2.5) do not correspond to source data entities. Such cache fields are fully specified by
information in the PivotCache.
The fSrcField field of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record specifies whether the cache
field corresponds to a source data entity. A non-OLAP PivotCache MUST have one or more cache
fields corresponding to source data columns (1). An OLAP PivotCache MUST NOT have cache fields
that do not correspond to source data entities.
All cache fields that do not correspond to source data entities MUST be located after cache fields that
do correspond to source data entities in the sequence of records that conform to the PCDFIELDS rule.
117 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
In a non-OLAP PivotCache, a cache field corresponds to one column (1) in the source data and
contains information about that column (1). The cache field name is specified by the stFldName field
of the BrtBeginPCDField record. The cache field name of a cache field corresponding to a source
data column (1) is derived from the name of the column (1) in the source data and is used to
associate the cache field with the source data column (1).
A cache field name MUST be valid as specified by the stFldName field of the BrtBeginPCDField
record.
Except for grouping (section 2.2.5.2.4) cache fields in non-OLAP PivotCaches, all cache field names
MUST be unique, when using a case-insensitive comparison, within the PivotCache.
In an OLAP PivotCache, each cache field is associated with a cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7).
Each cache hierarchy has an associated sequence of records that conform to the PCDHFIELDSUSAGE
rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) which specify the cache field indexes of the cache fields that are
associated with that cache hierarchy. The cache hierarchy to which cache fields are associated is
specified by the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy (section 2.4.145) record preceding the sequence of records
that conform to the PCDHFIELDSUSAGE rule.
If a cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) is not a measure (section 2.2.5.2.7.1) or a named set (section
2.2.5.2.7.3) there can be more than one cache field associated with it. Each cache field corresponds to
an OLAP level or to a member property of the associated OLAP hierarchy in the source data (section
2.2.5.2.1). The fOlapMemPropField of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record specifies
whether a cache field is a member property.
2.2.5.2.2.1 Member Properties
A member property is the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) representation of an OLAP member property.
Member properties can have properties that are associated with the PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) and
a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3).
A member property is associated with one OLAP member property of the OLAP hierarchy specified
by the associated cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) of the member property.
A member property can be associated with a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) and a pivot field (section
2.2.5.3.2). The fOlapMemPropField field of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record of a
cache field specifies whether a cache field is a member property cache field. The associated pivot field
of a member property cache field is a member property pivot field.
A member property with an associated member property cache field and member property pivot field
is associated with the cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) and pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) of
the associated member property cache field and member property pivot field.
If a member property is associated with a member property cache field, the association of the
member property and an OLAP member property is specified by the stFldName field of the
BrtBeginPCDField record of the member property cache field, which specifies the MDX unique
name of the OLAP member property.
An association between a member property and a cache field or pivot field is not required. If the value
of the isxvd field of the BrtBeginSXTDMP (section 2.4.259) record for a member property is -1, then
the member property is not associated with any cache field or pivot field. Such a member property is
not displayed on the row axis or column (1) axis. A member property that is not associated with any
cache field is associated with the pivot hierarchy that contains the member property, and with the
cache hierarchy associated with the pivot hierarchy. If a member property is not associated with a
cache field, the association between the member property and an OLAP member property is specified
by the irstProperty field of the BrtBeginSXTDMP record specifying the unique name of the OLAP
member property.
118 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
If the value of the bVerSxMacro field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record of the
PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) containing the member property is less than 3, BrtSXTDMPOrder
(section 2.4.804) records MUST NOT be present in the PivotTable view. If the value of the
bVerSxMacro field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record of the PivotTable view
containing the member property is greater than or equal to 3, BrtBeginSXTDMP records MUST NOT
be present in the PivotTable view. The isxvd field of a BrtSXTDMPOrder record MUST refer to the
member property pivot field associated with the pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) that contains the
BrtSXTDMPOrder record.
A member property pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) can be shown only in the row area or column (1)
area of a PivotTable view. A member property pivot field can only be shown after the last visible
OLAP level of the corresponding pivot hierarchy. The order of member property pivot fields shown in
the PivotTable view is the same as the order of member properties in the BrtBeginSXTDMP (section
2.4.259) collection of the corresponding pivot hierarchy, as specified by the SXTDMPS rule in the
PivotTable (section 2.1.7.40) part ABNF.
2.2.5.2.3 Cache Items
Cache items represent specific instances of the entities represented by cache fields (section
2.2.5.2.2). For example, an instance of a Country/Region cache field might be the USA cache item.
Having a USA cache item in the Country/Region cache field enables the associated PivotTable view
(section 2.2.5.3) to display data by USA.
Each cache item specifies a value and a type. In some cases, a cache item can have additional
information associated with it as well.
A cache item is contained in a cache field. A cache field can have zero cache items if the cache field is
not in use in the PivotTable view.
A cache item index can be used to reference a cache item within the cache field. Referencing a cache
item by index requires an implicit or explicit reference to that cache field because a cache item
collection is associated with a specific cache field. A cache field can be referenced by a cache field
index, as specified in section 2.2.5.2.2.
If the records that specify the cache field include a sequence of records that conform to the
PCDFATBL rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38), then the records that conform to the PCDFATBL rule
specify the raw cache items of the cache field.
If the records that specify the cache field include a sequence of records that conform to the
PCDFGITEMS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38), then the records that conform to the PCDFGITEMS
rule specify the grouping (section 2.2.5.2.4) cache items of the cache field. These are used for some
grouping cache fields in non-OLAP PivotCaches (section 2.2.5.2).
If there are no grouping cache items but there are raw cache items, the cache item index is a zero-
based index into the raw cache items.
If there are grouping cache items, then the cache item index is a zero-based index into the grouping
cache items.
For raw cache items (records in PCDFATBL), each raw cache item is specified by one of the following:
§ A record that conforms to the PCDI rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38), excluding the records
specified by the sequence of records that conform to the PCDIRUN rule (defined in section
2.1.7.38).
§ A record that conforms to the PCDIA rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38). These raw cache
items have additional information.
§ An entry in the rgPCDINumber, rgPCDIString, rgPCDIError or rgPCDIDatetime fields of

the BrtBeginPCDIRun (section 2.4.146) record.
119 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
There can be multiple entries of source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) that have the same combination of
value and type for a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2). Each raw cache item within a cache field MUST
have a unique combination of value and type.
For grouping cache items (records in PCDFGITEMS (section 2.1.7.38), each grouping cache item is
specified by one of the following:
§ A PCDI rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38), excluding the records specified by the PCDIRUN
rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38).
§ An entry in the rgPCDINumber, rgPCDIString, rgPCDIError or rgPCDIDatetime fields of

the BrtBeginPCDIRun record.
A BrtBeginPCDIRun record specifies multiple sequential cache items of the same type and is used to
reduce file size.
A grouping (section 2.2.5.2.4) cache field MUST have grouping cache items.
A grouping cache field with the fSrcField field of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record of
the cache field equal to 1 MUST have raw cache items.
A cache field that is not a grouping cache field MUST NOT have grouping cache items.
If there are one or more references by index to cache items of a particular cache field, that cache field
MUST have cache items.
For an OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) , a measure (section 2.2.5.2.7.1) cache field associated
with a cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) MUST NOT have cache items.
For an OLAP PivotCache, a cache item with a string value specifies the unique name of an OLAP
member, unless the cache field is a member property cache field.
Raw cache items can contain unused cache items, each specified by a sequence of records that
conform to the PCDIA rule. Unused cache items are values that did not exist in the source data
(section 2.2.5.2.1) when the PivotCache was last refreshed, but existed when the PivotCache was
refreshed previously. The PivotCache can retain such unused cache items to preserve information
associated with them to reapply that information if the value corresponding to the cache item is added
back to the source data. The fGhost field of the PCDIAddlInfo (section 2.5.99) structure specifies
whether a cache item is unused.
The following example shows cache items and their association with source data.
Consider a PivotCache based on the following source data table:
Country/Region Product Date Sales
USA Bicycle 6/5/2007 500
USA Car 8/3/2007 20000
Canada Bicycle 9/2/2007 500
Canada Car 10/5/2007 35000
Four cache fields exist, and each one corresponds to one of the columns (1): Country/Region,
Product, Date, and Sales. Each of the four cache fields can have cache items corresponding to the
unique values in the source data columns (1) as illustrated in the following tables.

2.2.5.2.4 Grouping
Grouping is used to combine a set of cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) into a group. There are three
different types of grouping: numeric grouping, date grouping, and discrete grouping. Numeric
grouping combines numeric cache items into ranges of values. Date grouping combines date cache
items into date ranges. Discrete grouping combines specifically selected cache items into groups.
The cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) that contains the cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) that are to be
grouped is called the base cache field. The resultant cache field that contains the groups of cache
items is called the parent grouping cache field. Each group of cache items in the base cache field is
associated with a single cache item in the parent grouping cache field. Often cache items in parent
grouping cache fields can be further grouped, creating a hierarchy of parent grouping cache fields. The
base cache field is at the lowest level of the hierarchy.
Grouping is specified by a sequence of records that conform to the PCDFGROUP rule (defined in
section 2.1.7.38).
Numeric grouping and date grouping are specified by records in the PivotCache Definition part
(section 2.1.7.38) that conform to the PCDFGRANGE rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38).
121 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Discrete grouping is specified by records in the PivotCache Definition part that conform to the
PCDFGDISCRETE rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38).
A numeric grouping or date grouping cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) is specified by the presence of a
BrtBeginPCDFGRange (section 2.4.133) record following the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135)
record associated with that cache field. For a numeric grouping cache field, the iByType field of the
associated BrtBeginPCDFGRange record is equal to 0. For a date grouping cache field, the iByType
field of the BrtBeginPCDFGRange record is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 7.
A discrete grouping cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) is specified by the presence of a

BrtBeginPCDFGDiscrete (section 2.4.131) record following the BrtBeginPCDField record
associated with the cache field.
The ifdbBase field of the BrtBeginPCDFGroup (section 2.4.134) record that follows the
BrtBeginPCDField record specifies a cache field index to the base cache field for a grouping cache
field.
The ifdbParent field of the BrtBeginPCDFGroup record that follows the BrtBeginPCDField record
specifies a cache field index to the parent grouping cache field of a grouping cache field or of a base
cache field.
For numeric grouping, there is only one cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with the grouping
and it serves as both the grouping cache field and the base cache field. Therefore, for a numeric
grouping cache field, the ifdbBase field of the BrtBeginPCDFGroup record that follows the
BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record MUST specify a cache field index to that same
BrtBeginPCDField record. For numeric grouping, the ifdbParent field of the BrtBeginPCDFGroup
record MUST be -1.
For date grouping, there can be up to seven levels of grouping hierarchy. The grouping level for a
cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) is specified by the iByType field of the BrtBeginPCDFGRange record.
The cache field with the lowest iByType value is at the lowest level of the hierarchy, the cache field
with the next lowest iByType value is at the next lowest level of the hierarchy, and so on. See the
specification of the BrtBeginPCDFGRange record for the list of levels of date grouping hierarchy.
Each cache field in the hierarchy MUST have an BrtBeginPCDFGRange record with a unique iByType
value.
The cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) corresponding to the lowest level of the date grouping hierarchy
serves as both a grouping cache field and the base cache field. Therefore, in the cache field
corresponding to the lowest level of the date grouping hierarchy, the ifdbBase field of the
BrtBeginPCDFGroup (section 2.4.134) record that follows the BrtBeginPCDField record MUST
specify a cache field index to that same BrtBeginPCDField record.
The cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) of a grouping cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2), each corresponding
to a single group, are specified by the sequence of records that conform to the PCDFGITEMS rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.38).
For discrete grouping, the mapping between each group in a grouping cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2)
and the cache items cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) of the base cache field that are in each group, is
specified by the PCDFGDISCRETE rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) in the following way: there MUST
be one BrtPCDIIndex (section 2.4.724) record corresponding to every cache item in the cache items
collection of the base cache field. Each BrtPCDIIndex record specifies a cache item in the
PCDFGITEMS rule that is the parent grouping cache item of the cache item in the cache items
collection for the base cache field with the same index as that BrtPCDIIndex record in the
PCDFGDISCRETE rule.
The following paragraphs explain the three different types of grouping and provide examples of them.
Numeric grouping combines numeric cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) into ranges. For example,
consider the following PivotTable report where the number of people (represented by "Count of
Name") of a certain age are listed.
122 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Figure 6: PivotTable report with ages
Analysis of specific ages might not be particularly meaningful. Instead, looking at age groups can be
more interesting. The following PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report shows numeric grouping applied to
the "Age" cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2). In this example, the numeric grouping is set to start at 0,
end at 100 and have groups of 20 years.
Figure 7: PivotTable report with age groups
Date grouping is similar to numeric grouping and is used to group cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) into
date ranges.
One to seven grouping cache fields (section 2.2.5.2.2) can exist when date grouping is applied to a
cache field, each corresponding to a different level of detail of date and time information. The cache
field to which the date grouping is originally applied is included in the set of grouping cache fields and
is considered the base cache field of the grouping cache fields. For date grouping, the base cache field
represents the lowest level of the date grouping hierarchy. The following levels of detail of date
information are available, each corresponding to one cache field:
§ Years
§ Quarters
§ Months
§ Days
123 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
§ Hours
§ Minutes
§ Seconds
For example, consider the following PivotTable report where the number of sales is listed for each
individual date.
Figure 8: PivotTable report with dates
124 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
This information could be too granular for some analytical purposes. With date grouping, a more
useful higher level summary can be created. The following PivotTable report shows the result of
applying date grouping to the "Date" cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) and including two levels of
grouping ("Years" and "Quarters"). In this example, the "Quarters" cache field represents the lowest
hierarchical level of date information included and is therefore the base cache field for this date
grouping. The "Years" cache field is a grouping cache field with the "Quarters" cache field as its base
cache field. The items "<1/1/2007" in the two cache fields represent dates before 1/1/2007, the start
date specified by the xnumStart field of the BrtBeginPCDFGRange record. The items
">12/13/2008" in the two cache fields represent dates after 12/13/2008, the end date specified by
the xnumEnd field of the BrtBeginPCDFGRange record.
Figure 9: PivotTable report with date groups
Discrete grouping combines specifically selected cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) into groups. When
discrete grouping is applied to a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2), a separate grouping cache field is
created and the cache field that the grouping is applied to is the base cache field for that grouping
cache field. Multiple grouping cache fields can exist for one base cache field, forming a hierarchy of
grouping cache fields. A grouping cache field higher in the hierarchy is considered a parent grouping
cache field of the grouping cache field or base cache field immediately following it in the hierarchy. For
a grouping cache field, each cache item in the cache items collection represents one group.
For example, consider the following PivotTable report listing sales by states in the United States.
125 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Figure 10: PivotTable report with state names
Discrete grouping can be used to group sets of states, for example, into geographical areas. The
following PivotTable report shows the result of applying six groups ("Group1" through "Group6") to the
cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) representing states. The cache field representing states is considered
the base cache field for the discrete grouping in this example. Each group in the example, represented
by a cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3) in the grouping cache field, combines states in the same
geographical area.

2.2.5.2.5 Calculated Fields
Calculated fields allow users to add calculations to a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report. For example, if
a PivotTable report contains values for sales and cost by products but no profit values, a calculated
field with the formula "=sales-cost" can be added so that profit values are calculated and can be
analyzed in the PivotTable report.
A calculated field is a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) that does not correspond to a column (1) in the
source data (section 2.2.5.2.1). The values for a calculated field are calculated based on the formula
specified for the calculated field. A calculated field is specified by the fLoadFmla field of the
BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record being equal to 1. The formula is specified by the fldFmla
field of the BrtBeginPCDField record.
The sequence of records that conforms to the PNAMES rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) specifies any
cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) referenced by the formula.
For calculated fields, the fSrcField record of the BrtBeginPCDField record MUST be 0.
A pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) associated with a calculated field MUST NOT appear on the row axis,
column (1) axis or page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1) of a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3).
An OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) MUST NOT have calculated fields.
2.2.5.2.6 Calculated Items
Calculated items allow users to add cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) to a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2)
that do not exist in a column (1) in the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1). For example, consider a
PivotTable report displaying sales for all four quarters of 2007. If there are no source data rows for
sales in 2008, a calculated item can be used to add an additional cache item as a calculated item that
calculates the projected sales for the first quarter of the year 2008 as being 25% higher than the sales
for the fourth quarter of 2007. The following figure illustrates a PivotTable report with such a
calculated item ("2008 Q1 projected").
Figure 12: PivotTable report with calculated item
A calculated item is a cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3) that does not correspond to values in the source
data (section 2.2.5.2.1). The values for a calculated item are calculated based on the formula
specified for the calculated item. The fFmla field of the PCDIAddlInfo (section 2.5.99) record
specifies if a cache item specified by the PCDIA rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) is a calculated item.
The sequence of records that conforms to the PCDCALCITEMS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38)
specifies the calculations for all calculated items of a PivotCache. Each PCDCALCITEM rule (defined
in section 2.1.7.38) in the sequence of records that conforms to the PCDCALCITEMS rule specifies
one calculation for a specific calculated item. Each calculated item can have multiple calculations
associated with it and in that case, there are multiple elements in the PCDCALCITEMS rule
128 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
corresponding to the same calculated item. The calculated item that a calculation is associated with is
specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the PIVOTRULE rule (defined in section 2.1.8)
in the PCDCALCITEM rule. The PIVOTRULE rule can also specify additional scoping information; for
example, if one calculation for a calculated item named "2008 Q1 projected" only applies to the "Cars"
product group, the PIVOTRULE rule (defined in section 2.1.8) will specify the cache field (section
2.2.5.2.2) corresponding to "product group" and the cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3) corresponding to
"Cars".
The fmla field of the BrtBeginPCDCalcItem (section 2.4.123) record specifies the formula that is
used for a calculation.
Any cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) and associated cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3), or pivot fields
(section 2.2.5.3.2) and associated pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) , that are referenced by the formula
of a calculation are specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the PNAMES rule (defined
in section 2.1.7.38) in each PCDCALCITEM rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38).
An OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) MUST NOT have calculated items (section 2.2.5.2.6).
2.2.5.2.7 Cache Hierarchies
A cache hierarchy corresponds to one of the following entities in the OLAP source data (section
2.2.5.2.1) associated with an OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2):
§ OLAP hierarchy
§ OLAP measure
§ OLAP named set
§ OLAP key performance indicator (KPI)
Cache hierarchies are only present in OLAP PivotCaches and MUST NOT exist in a non-OLAP
PivotCache.
The sequence of records that conforms to the PCDHIERARCHY rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38)
specifies a cache hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP hierarchy, an OLAP measure or an OLAP
named set, as specified in the following table.
fMeasure field of
BrtBeginPCDHierarchy fSet field of BrtBeginPCDHierarchy Meaning
0 0 OLAP hierarchy
0 1 OLAP named set
1 0 OLAP measure
The sequence of records that conforms to the PCDKPI rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) specifies a
cache hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP KPI.
The association between a cache hierarchy and the corresponding OLAP entity in the OLAP source data
(section 2.2.5.2.1) is specified by the stUnique field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy (section
2.4.145) record or by the stUnique field of the BrtBeginPCDKPI (section 2.4.147) record.
For a cache hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP hierarchy, OLAP measure or OLAP named set, the
cache hierarchy index is the zero-based index of a BrtBeginPCDHierarchy record in the
BrtBeginPCDHierarchies (section 2.4.144) collection.
For a cache hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP KPI, the cache hierarchy index is the n-based index
of a BrtBeginPCDKPI record in the BrtBeginPCDKPIs (section 2.4.148) collection, where n is the
number of BrtBeginPCDHierarchy records in the BrtBeginPCDHierarchies collection, as specified
in section 2.1.7.38.
129 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
A cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) can be associated with a cache hierarchy as specified by the ihdb
field of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record of the cache field.
A cache hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP hierarchy represents one or more OLAP levels related
via hierarchical relationships. For example, an OLAP hierarchy consisting of country/region, province,
and city can be used to summarize national/regional, area, and municipal sales data. For a cache
hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP hierarchy, and is not a single field page hierarchy, each cache
field (section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with the cache hierarchy corresponds to an OLAP level of the OLAP
hierarchy or is a member property cache field.
A single field page hierarchy is a cache hierarchy that corresponds to an OLAP hierarchy in a
PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) that has a bVerCacheCreated field of the BrtBeginPivotCacheDef
(section 2.4.167) less than 3 and has a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) that has the associated pivot
hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) on the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1). For a single field page hierarchy a
single cache field is associated with the cache hierarchy.
2.2.5.2.7.1 Measures
A measure cache hierarchy is a cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) that is associated with an OLAP
measure. The fMeasure field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy (section 2.4.145) record specifies if a
cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) is a measure cache hierarchy. An OLAP measure MUST NOT have
more than one cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with it. A pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4)
corresponding to a measure cache hierarchy MUST NOT be located on the row axis, column (1) axis
or page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1).
If a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) associated with a pivot hierarchy corresponding to a measure cache
hierarchy appears on the data axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.5) more than once, data items (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.1) that specify that pivot field after the first data item that specifies that pivot field MUST
contain a BrtSXDI14 (section 2.4.801) record with an isxvd field greater than or equal to 0.
2.2.5.2.7.2 KPIs
A key performance indicator (KPI) cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) is a cache hierarchy that is
associated with an OLAP KPI. A KPI cache hierarchy includes the four main components of an OLAP
KPI; value, goal, status and trend. KPI cache hierarchies are specified by the BrtBeginPCDKPI
(section 2.4.147) record as specified by the sequence of records that conform to the PCDKPI rule in
section 2.1.7.38.
2.2.5.2.7.3 Named Sets
A named set cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) is a cache hierarchy that is associated with an OLAP
named set. The fSet field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy (section 2.4.145) record specifies if a
cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) is a named set cache hierarchy. An OLAP named set MUST NOT
have more than one cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with it. A pivot hierarchy (section
2.2.5.3.4) corresponding to a named set cache hierarchy MUST NOT be located on the data axis
(section 2.2.5.3.7.5) or page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1).
2.2.5.2.8 OLAP Grouping
Grouping in an OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) is the associating of multiple OLAP members
that belong to the same OLAP level of an OLAP hierarchy and have the same OLAP member parent.
When OLAP members in a particular OLAP level are grouped, a parent grouping OLAP level exists.
Each group is represented in the parent grouping OLAP level by one parent grouping OLAP member,
and one or more child OLAP members in the OLAP level that the grouping is applied to.
The sequence of records that conforms to the PCDHGLEVELS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38)
specifies grouping for the associated cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7), which MUST be associated
with an OLAP hierarchy. Each sequence of records that conforms to the PCDHGLEVEL rule (defined in
130 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
section 2.1.7.38) specifies a grouping for one OLAP level with the same zero-based ordinal as the
zero-based index of the PCDHGLEVEL rule in the PCDHGLEVELS rule.
The set of groups for one OLAP level is specified by a sequence of records that conforms to the
PCDHGLGROUPS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) in the PCDHGLEVEL rule (defined in section
2.1.7.38). Each individual group is specified by a sequence of records that conforms to the
PCDHGLGROUP rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) in the PCDHGLGROUPS rule. The set of OLAP
members for a group is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the
PCDHGLGMEMBERS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) within a PCDHGLGROUP rule. Membership in
the group is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the PCDHGLGMEMBER rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.38) within the PCDHGLGMEMBERS rule.
2.2.5.2.9 OLAP Calculated Members
A calculated member is specified by the sequence of records that conform to the PCDCALCMEM rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.38) and is used to create an OLAP calculated member or an OLAP named
set with an associated user-specified MDX expression for a custom calculation.
The pcdCalcMemCommon.stMdx field in the BrtBeginPCDCalcMem record specifies the user-

specified MDX expression.
The pcdCalcMemCommon.fSet field in the BrtBeginPCDCalcMem record specifies whether the

associated calculated member creates an OLAP named set or an OLAP calculated member.
If the user-specified MDX expression associated with a calculated member defines an OLAP measure,
then this calculated member will be associated with a measure cache hierarchy as specified in section
2.2.5.2.7.1.
If the user-specified MDX expression associated with a calculated member specifies an OLAP
member in an OLAP hierarchy other than the OLAP measure hierarchy, then this calculated member
can only be associated with a cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3).
If a calculated member specifies an OLAP named set, then this calculated member is associated with a
named set cache hierarchy as specified in section 2.2.5.2.7.3.
If a collection of a OLAP calculated member is associated with an external connection that is not
associated with a PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2), this collection is specified by the sequence of records
that conform to the PCDCALCMEMSEXT rule (defined in section 2.1.8).
The extended properties of a calculated member are specified by the sequence of records that
conform to the FRTPCDCALCMEM rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38). This sequence of records is
present in the file if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:
1. The named set is defined by an OLAP named set array.
2. The named set has a display folder specified.
3. The MDX expression is longer than 32765 characters.
4. Each member from a different level of the same cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) of this named
set (section 2.2.5.2.7.3) is displayed in a separate pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2).
5. This named set is automatically ordered and has duplicate tuples removed.
2.2.5.2.10 Cache Records
Cache records represent a snapshot of the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) of a PivotCache (section
2.2.5.2) and allow for PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3) using a PivotCache to be recalculated
without retrieving the source data.
131 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Cache records are specified by the PivotCache Records (section 2.1.7.39) part, which contains
sequences of records that conform to the PIVOTCACHERECORD rule (defined in section 2.1.7.39).
Each PIVOTCACHERECORD rule specifies one cache record (section 2.2.5.2.10) and corresponds to
one row in the source data. The PIVOTCACHERECORD rules each specify a sequence of values.
Each of these values MUST correspond to a different cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) as defined by the
PivotCache Definition (section 2.1.7.38) part ABNF. The order of the values, corresponding to
different cache fields, in each PIVOTCACHERECORD rule MUST be the same as the order of the
cache fields in the collection of cache fields specified by the BrtBeginPCDFields (section 2.4.136)
collection. The number of values, corresponding to different cache fields, in each
PIVOTCACHERECORD rule MUST be equal to the number of BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135)
records, for which the fSrcField field is equal to 1, in the BrtBeginPCDFields collection.
If a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) associated with a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) exists in the
PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), the cache field MUST have associated cache items; if not, associated
cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) are optional.
For cache fields that have cache items, the cache items of the cache fields are referenced by an index.
For sequences of records that conform to the PIVOTCACHERECORDDT (defined in section 2.1.7.39),
the index is specified by the BrtPCDIIndex (section 2.4.724) record. For BrtPCRRecord (section
2.4.729) records, the index is stored in the rgb field of the BrtPCRRecord record.
For cache fields (section 2.2.5.2.2) that do not have cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3), the sequence of
records that conform to a PCDIDT (defined in section 2.1.7.39) in a PIVOTCACHERECORD (defined
in section 2.1.7.39) specify individual values of the corresponding source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) row.
For BrtPCRRecord (section 2.4.729) records, the values of the corresponding source data row are
stored in the rgb field of the BrtPCRRecord record.
An OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) MUST NOT have cache records (section 2.2.5.2.10). Cache
records are optional for a non-OLAP PivotCache.
2.2.5.2.11 Tuple Cache
An OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) can contain cached data called a tuple cache which is used by
cube functions for recalculation without accessing the data provider specified by the associated OLAP
connection (section 2.2.8.3.1).
A tuple cache is specified by a sequence of records that conforms to the PCDSDTUPLECACHE rule
If the OLAP PivotCache contains a tuple cache, the fSheetData field in the BrtBeginPivotCacheDef
(section 2.4.167) record MUST be equal to 1.
A tuple cache can contain a cache of cube values specified by a sequence of records that conforms to
the PCDSDTCENTRIES rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38), a cache of cube members(specified by a
sequence of records that conforms to the PCDSDTCQUERIES rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38), a
cache of cube sets specified by a sequence of records that conforms to the PCDSDTCSETS rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.38), and a cache of cube value server formats (specified by a sequence of
records that conforms to the PCDSFCIENTRIES rule).
The sequence of records that conform to the PCDSDTCEMEMBER rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38)
specifies a tuple cache entry. A tuple cache entry specifies an OLAP member or a reference to a tuple
cache set. See section 2.4.155 for details.
A cache of cube values is a collection of values specified by the BrtPCDIMissing (section 2.4.725),
BrtPCDINumber (section 2.4.726), BrtPCDIError (section 2.4.723), or BrtPCDIString (section
2.4.727) records. Each of these values is optionally followed by a collection of tuple cache entries
specified by a sequence of records that conforms to the PCDSDTCEMEMBERS rule (defined in section
2.1.7.38), which specify the OLAP members or tuple cache sets corresponding to the value.
132 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
A cache of cube members is specified by a sequence of records that conforms to the
PCDSDTCQUERIES rule. Each of the cube members has an MDX expression, specified by the
BrtBeginPCDSDTCQuery (section 2.4.160) record. Each of the BrtBeginPCDSDTCQuery records is
optionally followed by a collection of tuple cache entries specified by a sequence of records that
conforms to the PCDSDTCEMEMBERS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) corresponding to the MDX
expression.
A cache of cube sets is a collection of tuple cache sets specified by a sequence of records that
conforms to the PCDSDTCSETS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38). Each tuple cache set optionally has
a collection of tuple cache entries specified by a sequence of records that conform to the
PCDSDTCEMEMBERS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.38) corresponding to the MDX expression
specified in the BrtBeginPCDSDTCSet (section 2.4.161) record.
A cache of cube value server formats is a collection of number formats specified by the
BrtPCDSFCIEntry (section 2.4.728) record.
2.2.5.3 PivotTable View
A PivotTable view is a set of structures that specify layout, filtering, sorting, and other properties.
These properties are used to produce a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report based on data from the
PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2).
A PivotTable view is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the PIVOTTABLE rule
An OLAP PivotTable view has an associated PivotCache (see section 2.2.5.3.1) that is an OLAP
Functionality specified by a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) view includes:
§ The arrangement of pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) on the row axis, column (1) axis, or both to
produce a PivotTable report.
§ Using data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) on the data axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.5) to show
summarized result values in the PivotTable report.
§ Filtering data in the PivotTable report by performing manual filtering (section 2.2.5.3.5), filtering
by criteria (section 2.2.5.3.6), or filtering in the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1).
§ Determining the PivotTable layout (section 2.2.5.3.8).
§ Formatting the entire PivotTable report with a tables style (section 2.2.6.3). See section 2.4.819
for details.
§ Formatting an area of the PivotTable report in a way that logically tracks changes in the
PivotTable report. Formatting settings are associated with logical parts of the PivotTable view,
and not with fixed ranges on the sheet. See the sequence of records conforming to the
SXFORMAT rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) for details.
§ Conditional formatting an area of the PivotTable report in a way that logically tracks changes
in the PivotTable report and performs calculations based on the fact that the area is in a
PivotTable report. See the sequence of records conforming to the SXCONDFMT rule (defined in
section 2.1.7.40) for details.
§ Sorting pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) within the PivotTable
report. For details, see section 2.2.5.3.2.1.
Non-OLAP PivotTable views enable the creation of different PivotTable reports associated with the
same PivotCache. This enables the creation of different visual representations without duplicating the
PivotCache.
133 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.5.3.1 Relationship to PivotCache
A PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) is associated with a PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) through the
idSx field of a BrtBeginPivotCacheID (section 2.4.168) record that matches the idCache field of
the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record that corresponds to this PivotTable view.
A PivotTable view MUST have one and only one associated PivotCache. An OLAP PivotCache MUST
NOT be associated with more than one PivotTable view. A non-OLAP PivotCache can be associated
with more than one PivotTable view.
2.2.5.3.2 Pivot Fields
A pivot field corresponds to a cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2). A pivot field specifies display information
of the data in the PivotTable view.
A pivot field is specified by the sequence of records that conform to the SXVD rule (defined in section
2.1.7.40). A pivot field is contained in the PivotTable view. A PivotTable view contains a collection of
pivot fields which is specified by the SXVDS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40).
A pivot field index, which identifies a pivot field, is specified to be the zero-based index of a sequence
of records that conform to the SXVD rule in the sequence of records that conforms to the SXVDS
rule.
Each pivot field is associated with the cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) with a cache field index equal to
the pivot field index of the pivot field. For more details, see section 2.2.5.2.2. The number of pivot
fields in the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) MUST equal the number of cache fields in the associated
The principal way that the structure of a PivotTable view is used to create a PivotTable report is that
pivot fields can be part of PivotTable axes (section 2.2.5.3.7). Also, a data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1)
can refer to a pivot field.
A pivot field can have pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3). A pivot field can describe various information
such as pivot field sorting (section 2.2.5.3.2.1) and subtotaling (section 2.2.5.3.7.4.2) settings.
The following figure illustrates a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report with four pivot fields displaying
Sales by Product, Country/Region, and Date.
Figure 13: PivotTable report with four pivot fields
2.2.5.3.2.1 Pivot Field Sorting
Pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) appear in the PivotTable view
(section 2.2.5.3) in a specific order. This sort order (2) is only applicable to pivot fields in the row
axis or column (1) axis and can be based on the following entities:
134 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
§ The values of the pivot items associated with the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2).
§ The values of the data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) that correspond to the pivot items associated
with the pivot field
§ The values of the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) associated with
an OLAP member property. See member properties for more details.
§ The ordering of the pivot items associated with the pivot field as determined by the source data
(section 2.2.5.2.1) provider.
§ The ordering of instances of the sequence of the records that conform to the SXVI rule (as
defined in section 2.1.7.40) for the pivot field within the file.
The sort order (2) of a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) is specified by the fAutoSort field of the
BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record. If fAutoSort is equal to 1, then the sort is performed every
time the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) is recalculated.
If the fAutoSort field of the BrtBeginSXVD record is equal to 1, the sort order (2) is specified by the
value of the fAscendSort field of the BrtBeginSXVD record which determines whether the sort is
ascending or descending.
The existence of a BrtBeginAutoSortScope (section 2.4.9) record following the BrtBeginSXVD

record specifies the scope of the sort, as specified in the following table.
BrtBeginAutoSortScope
existence Meaning
Does not exist Sorting is based on the values of the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of the
pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2).
Exists Sorting is either based on the values in the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4)
or on the values of member properties associated with the pivot field as
specified by the sequence of records that conform to the PIVOTRULE rule (as
defined in section 2.1.8) in the sequence of records that conform to the
AUTOSORTSCOPE rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.40).
If the fAutoSort field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record is equal to 0, the sort order (2)
is determined by the order of instances of the sequence of the records that conform to the SXVI rule
for this pivot field.
For OLAP PivotTables, if the fTensorSort field of the BrtBeginSXVD record is equal to 1, the sort
order (2) is determined by the OLAP source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) provider.
2.2.5.3.3 Pivot Items
Pivot items represent specific instances of the entities represented by pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2).
Each pivot item specifies its display properties. For example it can contain the user defined caption for
the pivot item or information about whether the pivot item is hidden or not.
A pivot item is specified by the sequence of records that conform to the SXVI rule (as defined in
section 2.1.7.40). A pivot item is contained in a pivot field. The collection specified by the sequence of
records that conform to the SXVIS rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies the pivot items of a
pivot field.
A pivot item can be referenced by a pivot item index. A pivot item index is specified to be the zero-
based index of an SXVI rule in the collection specified by the SXVIS rule.
A pivot item can be associated with a cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3). The iCache field of the
BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record of the pivot item specifies the cache item index of the
135 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
associated cache item in the associated cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2). If the itmtype field of this
BrtBeginSXVI record is not PITDATA (section 2.5.104), then this pivot item MUST NOT have an
associated cache item. Two pivot items MUST NOT be associated with the same cache item. Note that
although a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) index references a pivot field that corresponds to the cache
field with the same cache field index, a pivot item index might not reference a pivot item that
corresponds to a cache item with the same cache item index.
The number of pivot items, where the itmtype field of the BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record of
the pivot item is PITDATA (section 2.5.104), MUST equal zero or the number of cache items in the
cache field of the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2).
2.2.5.3.4 Pivot Hierarchies
A pivot hierarchy corresponds to a cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7).
A pivot hierarchy is specified by the sequence of records that conform to the SXTH rule (defined in
section 2.1.7.40). A pivot hierarchy is contained in a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3).
Pivot hierarchies MUST NOT exist in a non-OLAP PivotTable view.
A PivotTable view has a collection of pivot hierarchies as specified by the sequence of records that
conform to the SXTHS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40).
A pivot hierarchy can be referenced by a pivot hierarchy index which is a zero-based index of an
SXTH rule in the collection specified by the SXTHS rule.
Each pivot hierarchy is associated with a cache hierarchy with a cache hierarchy index, as specified in
section 2.2.5.2.7, equal to the pivot hierarchy index of the pivot hierarchy.
A pivot hierarchy can have pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) associated with it. The pivot fields associated
with a pivot hierarchy do not need to exist if they have not been used by the application.
The association between a pivot hierarchy and pivot fields can be determined by the following: A pivot
hierarchy has an associated cache hierarchy. This associated cache hierarchy in turn has cache field
(section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with it. These specific cache fields have pivot fields associated with
them. See section 2.2.5.3.2 for more details.
A pivot hierarchy can be on a PivotTable axis (section 2.2.5.3.7) . When a pivot field (section
2.2.5.3.2) associated with a pivot hierarchy is referenced by a data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) the
pivot hierarchy is on the data axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.5). All pivot fields associated with a pivot
hierarchy that is used on a PivotTable axis MUST be placed on the same PivotTable axis as the pivot
hierarchy or not on any PivotTable axis.
2.2.5.3.5 Manual Filters
A manual filter enables specific pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) or OLAP members associated with
pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) to be shown or hidden in the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3). Manual
filtering affects subtotal calculations when pivot fields that have manual filters are located on the row
axis, column (1) axis, or page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1). The pivot items that are hidden for such
pivot fields are not included when calculating subtotals.
At least one BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record in the BrtBeginSXVIs (section 2.4.276)
collection MUST have the fHidden field equal to 0x0.
Manual filters are applied during PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report calculation prior to any of the other
types of filters specified in the following sections. If there are multiple manual filters, they are not
applied in a specific order.
Details about manual filtering for pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) on the page axis are covered in
section 2.2.5.3.7.1.
136 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.5.3.5.1 Non-OLAP Manual Filters
For non-OLAP PivotTable (section 2.2.5), the state of the manual filter on a pivot field (section
2.2.5.3.2) can be determined by the value of the fHidden field of the BrtBeginSXVI (section
2.4.272) records directly following the corresponding BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270). This field
specifies whether the corresponding pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) is hidden by the manual filter and
therefore not displayed in the PivotTable report.
If the fFilterInclusive field of the BrtBeginSXVD record is equal to 0x1, pivot items (section
2.2.5.3.3) corresponding to new values in the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) are not displayed by
default in the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report after the associated PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) has
been refreshed.
2.2.5.3.5.2 OLAP Manual Filters
For OLAP PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3), manual filtering operates on pivot hierarchies (section
2.2.5.3.4). OLAP manual filtering uses filtering lists to determine what filtering to apply.
The SXTHItem list is specified to be the list of the OLAP members specified by BrtBeginSXTHItem
(section 2.4.262) records of the pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4)
The selected pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) list is specified to be the list of pivot items, with the
fOlapFilterSelected field of the BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record equal to 0x1, in the pivot
fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) associated with the pivot hierarchy.
If both the SXTHItem list and the selected pivot items list are empty then, no manual filtering is
specified for the pivot hierarchy. Otherwise, the value of the fFilterInclusive field of the
BrtBeginSXTH (section 2.4.261) record of the pivot hierarchy determines how the lists will be used.
If the fFilterInclusive field of the BrtBeginSXTH record of the pivot hierarchy is equal to 0x1, the
OLAP members in the SXTHItem list and their ascendants and descendants are included in the manual
filter, and the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) in the selected pivot items list and their ascendants and
descendants are included in the manual filter. New OLAP members in the source data (section
2.2.5.2.1) will be excluded by default when the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) is refreshed.
If the fFilterInclusive field of the BrtBeginSXTH (section 2.4.261) record of the pivot hierarchy
(section 2.2.5.3.4) is equal to 0x0, the OLAP members in the SXTHItem list and their descendants, are
excluded in the manual filter, and the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) in the selected pivot items list
and their descendants, are excluded in the manual filter. New OLAP members in the source data will
be included by default when the PivotTable view is refreshed.
The filtering lists do not include OLAP members which are ascendants or descendants of other OLAP
members in the lists.
2.2.5.3.6 Filtering by Criteria
Filtering by criteria is the ability to conditionally show pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of pivot fields
(section 2.2.5.3.2) based on user-defined criteria. For example, a criteria filter might be defined to
show all products that sold for more than $30,000.
2.2.5.3.6.1 Advanced Filters
An advanced filter specifies a user-defined criterion that is used to determine the pivot items (section
2.2.5.3.3) of a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) that are included in subtotal calculations for the
PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) and that are displayed in the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report.
Only advanced filters that are associated with pivot fields that are located on the row axis or the
column (1) axis are applied when the PivotTable view is calculated.
137 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
An advanced filter is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the SXFILTER rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.40), and the isxvd field of the BrtBeginSXFILTER (section 2.4.245) record
specifies the pivot field associated with the advanced filter.
Advanced filters MUST NOT be applied to pivot fields of a PivotTable view if the value of the
bVerSxMacro field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record corresponding to the PivotTable
view is less than 3, or OLAP PivotTable views with a value of 0 for the fSupportSubquery field of the
corresponding BrtBeginPivotCacheDef (section 2.4.167) record.
There are three types of advanced filters: label filter (section 2.2.5.3.6.1.1), date filter (section
2.2.5.3.6.1.2), and value filter (section 2.2.5.3.6.1.3).
A pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) MUST NOT have more than one associated advanced filter of the same
type.
2.2.5.3.6.1.1 Label Filters
A label filter specifies criteria that are applied to pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) captions to determine
which pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) are included in the calculation of values for the PivotTable view
(section 2.2.5.3) and displayed in the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report.
A label filter is specified by a BrtBeginSXFILTER (section 2.4.245) record with the sxft field equal to
a value in the range 0x00000004 through 0x00000011.
Label filters are applied before any value filters (section 2.2.5.3.6.1.3), but the order of label filters is
not specified.
If a caption is specified for a pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3), the label filter is applied to the
displayName field of the BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record associated with that pivot item. If a
caption is not specified for a pivot item, the label filter is applied to the value of the cache item
(section 2.2.5.2.3) associated with that pivot item.
A label filter can be applied to member properties. The isxvdMProp field of the BrtBeginSXFILTER
record specifies the member property on which this label filter is applied.
2.2.5.3.6.1.2 Date Filters
A date filter specifies a criterion that is applied to pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of date type of a
pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2). A date filter determines which pivot items are included in the calculation
of the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) and displayed in the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report.
Date filters are specified by BrtBeginSXFILTER (section 2.4.245) records with the sxft field in the
range 0x0000001A through 0x00000041.
For non-OLAP PivotTable views, a date filter can be applied if and only if the BrtBeginPCDFAtbl
(section 2.4.130) record associated with the corresponding cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) has the
fDateInField field equal to 1, the fMixedTypesIgnoringBlanks field equal to 0, and the fNonDates
field is equal to 0. For OLAP PivotTable views, a date filter can be applied if and only if the
wAttributeMemberValueType field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy (section 2.4.145) record
specifies that the cache hierarchy (section 2.2.5.2.7) has a data type of date and the fTimeHierarchy
field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy record is equal to 1, or the
fAttributeMemberValueTypeKnown field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy record is equal to 0 and
the fTimeHierarchy field of the BrtBeginPCDHierarchy record is equal to 1.
Date filters are applied before value filters (section 2.2.5.3.6.1.3) and in no specific order.
2.2.5.3.6.1.3 Value Filters
138 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
A value filter specifies a criterion that is applied to values of a data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) for
pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) that the value filter is applied to.
The value filter determines which pivot items are included in the subtotal calculation of the PivotTable
view (section 2.2.5.3) and displayed in the PivotTable view report.
A value filter is specified by the sequence of records specified by the sequence of records that
conforms to the SXFILTER rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) that contain a BrtBeginSXFILTER
(section 2.4.245) record with the sxft field equal to a value in one of the following the ranges:
0x00000001 through 0x00000003 or 0x00000012 through 0x00000019.
Value filters are applied after manual filters (section 2.2.5.3.5), date filters section 2.2.5.3.6.1.2), and
label filters (section 2.2.5.3.6.1.1) are applied. Value filters are applied in the order in which they are
specified in the collection specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the SXFILTERS rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.40). The subtotals generated as a result of a value filter being applied are
used to evaluate the next value filter specified in the SXFILTERS rule.
2.2.5.3.6.2 Simple Filters
A simple filter is a top N filter which is also known as an AutoShow. The fAutoShow field of the
BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record specifies whether a simple filter is applied for a pivot field
(section 2.2.5.3.2). The fTopAutoShow field of the BrtBeginSXVD record specifies whether a simple
filter applies to the top or bottom N items. The citmAutoShow field of the BrtBeginSXVD record
specifies the number of pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) displayed.
Simple filters MUST only be applied to pivot fields of a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) with the
bVerSxMacro field of the corresponding BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record less than or
equal to 2, or to pivot fields of an OLAP PivotTable view with the fSupportSubquery field of the
BrtBeginPivotCacheDef (section 2.4.167) record of the corresponding PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2)
equal to 0.
2.2.5.3.7 PivotTable Axes
A PivotTable (section 2.2.5) axis is the set of pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) or pivot hierarchies
(section 2.2.5.3.4) in a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) used to populate an area of the PivotTable
report. The placement and positions of pivot fields on the axes are used to determine the PivotTable
Layout (section 2.2.5.3.8). The four axes of a PivotTable view are the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1),
the row axis, the column (1) axis, and the data axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.5). For non-OLAP
PivotTables, a pivot field MUST NOT appear more than once on the PivotTable view, with the
exception of the data axis. For non-OLAP PivotTables, a pivot field can be placed one or more times
on the data axis independently of whether it was placed on any other axis. For OLAP PivotTables, a
pivot field MUST NOT be placed more than once on any axis. For both OLAP and non-OLAP
PivotTables, pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) do not have to be placed on any PivotTable axis.
2.2.5.3.7.1 Page Axis
The page axis contains the pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) or pivot hierarchies (section 2.2.5.3.4) used
to populate the page area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.3) of the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report, as
specified by PivotTable Layout (section 2.2.5.3.8), and are intended for use as filters. These pivot
fields and pivot hierarchies do not affect the layout of the other areas of the PivotTable report, but
rather filter the data used by the entire PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3).
The page axis is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the SXPIS rule (defined in
section 2.1.7.40). For non-OLAP PivotTables, each sequence of records that conforms to the SXPI
rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies one pivot field on the page axis. For OLAP PivotTables,
each SXPI rule specifies one pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) on the page axis. The order in which
the pivot fields and pivot hierarchies appear in the SXPIS rule specifies the order that the pivot fields
and pivot hierarchies appear in on the page axis.
139 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
For non-OLAP PivotTables, the isxvd field of the BrtBeginSXPI (section 2.4.253) record specifies
the associated pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2). For OLAP PivotTables, the isxth field of the
BrtBeginSXPI record specifies the associated pivot hierarchy.
2.2.5.3.7.1.1 Non-OLAP Page Filtering
A non-OLAP PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) can be filtered to not include some pivot items (section
2.2.5.3.3) from the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) on the page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1). The
PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report only includes values specified by cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3)
that are associated with pivot items that are filtered in.
The following table specifies how the filtering of pivot items of a pivot field is specified.
In the following table, the first column is the value of the fEnableMultiplePageItems field of the
BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record of the corresponding pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2), the
second column is the value of the isxvi field of the BrtBeginSXPI (section 2.4.253) record, and the
third column is the value of the fSubtotalHiddenPageItems field of the BrtBeginSXView (section
2.4.273) record.
fEnableM fSubtotalHi
ultiplePa ddenPageI
geItems isxvi tems Filtering Behavior
0 Not Any Specifies that the isxvi field of the BrtBeginSXPI record
0x001000FE specifies a pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) index, as specified
by section 2.2.5.3.3, of the one pivot item of a pivot field
that is filtered in.
Any 0x001000FE 0 Specifies that pivot items are filtered in if and only if the
fHidden field of the corresponding BrtBeginSXVI (section
2.4.272) records is equal to 0.
Any 0x001000FE 1 Specifies that all pivot items of a pivot field filtered in.
If the fEnableMultiplePageItems field of the corresponding pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) is equal to
1, the isxvi field of the BrtBeginSXPI (section 2.4.253) record MUST be equal to 0x001000FE and
MUST be ignored.
2.2.5.3.7.1.2 OLAP Page Filtering
The following table specifies which OLAP members in the pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) on the
page axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.1) are filtered in.
In the following table, the first column is the value of the fEnableMultiplePageItems field of the
BrtBeginSXTH (section 2.4.261) record.
fEnableMultiplePageItems Filtering behavior

0 Specifies that the irstUnique field of the BrtBeginSXPI (section 2.4.253)
record specifies the one OLAP member that is filtered in.
1 Specifies that the filtering is applied as specified by Manual Filters (section

2.2.5.3.5) and OLAP Manual Filters (section 2.2.5.3.5.2) for the pivot
hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4).
2.2.5.3.7.2 Row Axis
The row axis contains the pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2), and an optional data field (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.2), used to populate the row area of the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report, as specified by
PivotTable Layout (section 2.2.5.3.8).
140 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
The pivot fields on the row axis are specified by the BrtBeginISXVDRws (section 2.4.96) record. The
order that the pivot fields and the optional data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) appear in that record
specifies the order that the pivot fields and the optional data field appear in on the row axis. The order
that the pivot fields and the optional data field appear in on the row axis corresponds to the order that
the pivot fields and the optional data field are placed in on the row area of the PivotTable (section
2.2.5) report.
For adjacent ISXVD (section 2.5.83) records in the rgisxvdrws field of the BrtBeginISXVDRws
(section 2.4.96) record, the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) or data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) that the
first ISXVD references is defined to be an outer field with respect to the pivot field or the data field
that the second ISXVD references. The pivot field or data field that the second ISXVD references is
defined to be an inner field with respect to the pivot field or the data field that the first ISXVD
references.
For OLAP PivotTables (section 2.2.5), all ISXVD (section 2.5.83) records in the rgisxvdrws field of
the BrtBeginISXVDRws (section 2.4.96) record that reference pivot fields that are associated with
the same pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) MUST be adjacent. Pivot fields associated with member
properties of the pivot hierarchy MUST be located on the row axis after other types of pivot fields
associated with the same pivot hierarchy. Pivot fields not associated with member properties of the
pivot hierarchy MUST appear on the row axis in an order such that the zero-based index of the level of
each pivot field associated with the same pivot hierarchy is ascending. The level of a pivot field
(section 2.2.5.3.2) is specified by the isxtl field of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record of
the cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with the pivot field.
For OLAP PivotTables, the rgisxth field of the BrtBeginISXTHRws (section 2.4.94) record specifies
the order of pivot hierarchies (section 2.2.5.3.4) on the row axis.
See section 2.2.5.3.7.4 also.
2.2.5.3.7.3 Column Axis
The column (1) axis contains the pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2), and an optional data field (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.2), used to populate the column (1) area of the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report, as
specified by PivotTable Layout (section 2.2.5.3.8).
The pivot fields on the column (1) axis are specified by the BrtBeginISXVDCols (section 2.4.95)
record. The order that the pivot fields and the optional data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) appear in that
record specifies the order that the pivot fields and the optional data field appear on the column (1)
axis. The order that the pivot fields and the optional data field appear in on the column (1) axis
corresponds to the order that the pivot fields and the optional data field are placed in on the column
(1) area of the PivotTable report.
For adjacent ISXVD (section 2.5.83) records in the rgisxvdcols field of the BrtBeginISXVDCols
record, the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) or data field that the first ISXVD references is defined to be
an outer field with respect to the pivot field or the data field that the second ISXVD references. The
pivot field or data field that the second ISXVD references is defined to be an inner field with respect
to the pivot field or the data field that the first ISXVD references.
For OLAP PivotTables (section 2.2.5), all ISXVD (section 2.5.83) records in the rgisxvdcols field of
the BrtBeginISXVDCols record that reference pivot fields that are associated with the same pivot
hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) MUST be adjacent. Pivot fields associated with member properties of the
pivot hierarchy MUST be located on the column (1) axis after other types of pivot fields associated
with the same pivot hierarchy. Pivot fields not associated with member properties of the pivot
hierarchy MUST appear on the column (1) axis in an order such that the zero-based index of the level
of each pivot field associated with the same pivot hierarchy is ascending. The level of a pivot field is
specified by the isxtl field of the BrtBeginPCDField (section 2.4.135) record of the cache field
(section 2.2.5.2.2) associated with the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2).
141 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
For OLAP PivotTables, the rgisxth field of the BrtBeginISXTHCols (section 2.4.93) record specifies
the order of pivot hierarchies (section 2.2.5.3.4) on the column (1) axis.
See section 2.2.5.3.7.4 also.
2.2.5.3.7.4 Nesting
This section applies to both the row axis and column (1) axis unless otherwise specified. Within this
section, axis means the row axis or the column (1) axis as appropriate; fields mean pivot fields
(section 2.2.5.3.2) on the axis, the data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) on the axis, or both; area means
the row area or column (1) area as appropriate; items mean pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) or data
items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) as appropriate.
The axes specify an order in which the fields are represented in the areas, see section 2.2.5.3.8 for
more information about the areas. Pivot lines (section 2.2.5.3.8.3) within the areas have references to
items. Usually a pivot line including an item of an outer field only includes items in the inner fields that
exist with the item of the outer field in the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1), subject to the filtering on
the PivotTable view. Usually all the instances of an item in the area are grouped together, with
grouping on the outer fields taking precedence over grouping on the inner fields. This process is called
nesting.
A nested item group is specified to be the contiguous set of pivot lines (section 2.2.5.3.8.3) that have
the same item in an outer field.
The following table shows an example of nested item groups for Country/Region, State, and City.
Country/Region State City

USA Illinois Chicago
USA Illinois Springfield
USA Louisiana New Orleans
USA Louisiana Baton Rouge
Mexico Jalisco Guadalajara
The first two lines are a nested item group for Illinois. The next two lines are a nested item group for
Louisiana. The first four lines are a nested item group for USA. The last line is both a nested item
group for Jalisco and Mexico. Note that often in a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report the repeated item
labels will be omitted.
For an OLAP PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), nesting can be the result of either of the following
conditions but not both:
§ Items of an inner field that are in a different pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) than an outer
§ Items of an inner field that is associated with the same pivot hierarchy as an outer pivot field and
that correspond to child OLAP members of the OLAP members corresponding to the items of the
outer field.
2.2.5.3.7.4.1 Collapsing
Settings in the file format can specify that a pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) of an outer pivot field
(section 2.2.5.3.2), rather than having nested pivot items of inner pivot fields, is collapsed. Usually
when a pivot item on an outer pivot field is collapsed, it does not have a nested pivot item group and
when it appears in a pivot line (section 2.2.5.3.8.3), the pivot items of the inner pivot fields for the
collapsed pivot item do not appear in the pivot line.
In the example from section 2.2.5.3.7.4, if Illinois and Mexico were collapsed, the result might look
like the following table:
142 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Country/Region State City
USA Illinois
USA Louisiana New Orleans
USA Louisiana Baton Rouge
Mexico
For a non-OLAP PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), the collapsed state is specified by the fHideDetail
field of the BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record.
For an OLAP PivotTable view, there are two types of collapsing: child collapsing and attribute hierarchy
collapsing.
Child collapsing is when the child pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3), corresponding to child OLAP
members, of a pivot item corresponding to a parent OLAP member in an OLAP hierarchy are not
shown.
If a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) is the first pivot field of the pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) on
the axis then the fDrilledLevel field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record of the pivot field
MUST be 1.
If a pivot field is not the first pivot field of the pivot hierarchy on the axis and if the fDrilledLevel field
of the BrtBeginSXVD record of the pivot field is 1, then there is no child collapsing for the preceding
pivot field of the pivot hierarchy on the axis and the fDrilledMember field of the BrtBeginSXVI
(section 2.4.272) records for the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) of the preceding pivot field of the
pivot hierarchy on the axis MUST be 0.
If a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) is followed by another pivot field of the same pivot hierarchy on the
axis, and the fDrilledLevel field of the BrtBeginSXVD record of the outer pivot field is equal to 0 and
the fDrilledMember field of a BrtBeginSXVI record of the pivot item of the outer pivot field is 0,
then the pivot item containing the BrtBeginSXVI record is collapsed using child collapsing.
Attribute hierarchy collapsing only occurs when an outer pivot field is associated with a pivot hierarchy
(section 2.2.5.3.4) that is an attribute hierarchy, as specified by the fAttributeHierarchy field of the
BrtBeginPCDHierarchy (section 2.4.145) record of the associated cache hierarchy (section
2.2.5.2.7), and the inner pivot field immediately following that outer pivot field is associated with a
different pivot hierarchy that is an attribute hierarchy. In that case, if a pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3)
is attribute hierarchy collapsed, pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3), corresponding to OLAP members, will
not be shown for the inner pivot field. The attribute hierarchy collapsed state of a pivot item is
specified by the fCollapsedMember field of the BrtBeginSXVI (section 2.4.272) record. The
fItemsDrilledByDefault field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record provides a default
value for pivot items of the pivot field.
For an OLAP PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), there can be pivot items from an inner pivot field
(section 2.2.5.3.2) on the pivot line (section 2.2.5.3.8.3) if either the outer pivot field is collapsed and
the inner pivot field and outer pivot field are in different pivot hierarchies (section 2.2.5.3.4) and
attribute hierarchy collapsing is not being used or if the pivot items are member properties.
2.2.5.3.7.4.2 Subtotaling
A nested item group, as specified in section 2.2.5.3.7.4, can have summaries of the values for the
items in the nested item group, called subtotals. A subtotal is typically an aggregation such as a sum,
count, or average of the values of the items.
The creation of subtotals is specified by the fDefault, fSum, fCounta, fAverage, fMax, fMin,
fProduct, fCount, fStdev, fStdevp, fVar, and fVarp fields of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270)
record of the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2). If none of the fields are equal to 1, then no subtotals exist
for the pivot field. If the fDefault field is equal to 1, the subtotal calculation for each item is done
according to the aggregation functions of the data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) on the data axis
143 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
(section 2.2.5.3.7.5), as specified by the iiftab field of the BrtBeginSXDI (section 2.4.241) record
for each data item.
For example, the subtotal is calculated as the sum of the relevant values of the nested item group for
a data item with a sum aggregation function and subtotal is calculated as the average of the relevant
values of the nested item group for a data item with an average aggregation function.
The other subtotal fields are called custom subtotals because they override the data item (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.1) aggregation function when calculating subtotals. In some cases, such as for certain
OLAP PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3), the source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) is not able to provide a
requested subtotal.
The fOutline field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record specifies that an extra pivot line
(section 2.2.5.3.8.3) is added at the logical top of the nested item groups if the pivot field (section
2.2.5.3.2) is on the row axis. This pivot line contains the item and any items of member property
pivot fields, if they are shown, but no other items of pivot fields inner of this pivot field.
The fOutlineData field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record specifies that an extra pivot
line is added at the logical top of the nested item groups if the data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) is on
the row axis. This pivot line contains the data item, but no other items for inner pivot fields of this
data field.
If the fDefault field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record of the pivot field (section
2.2.5.3.2) is equal to 1, and the fOutline field of the BrtBeginSXVD record of the pivot field is equal
to 1, the pivot field is on the row axis, and the data field is not placed inner of the pivot field on the
row axis, then the fSubtotalAtTop field of the BrtBeginSXVD record of the pivot field has a value as
specified in the following table:
Value of
fSubtotalAtTop Meaning
0x0 Specifies that subtotal pivot lines (section 2.2.5.3.8.3) are added at the bottom of the
nested item groups.
If the irstSub field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record is present, it

specifies details for the subtotal label used.
If the irstSub field of the BrtBeginSXVD record is not present, an application

specific subtotal label is used.
0x1 Specifies that the pivot lines added, as specified by the fOutline field of the
BrtBeginSXVD record being equal to 1, are used for displaying the subtotals in the
data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4).
In the following figure, the Category, Subcategory, and Product columns (1) represent pivot fields
(section 2.2.5.3.2) on the row axis and the Color column (1) represents a member property pivot field
associated with the Product pivot field. Subtotals are displayed at the logical top of the nested item
groups for Clothing, Caps and Gloves.

2.2.5.3.7.5 Data Axis
The data axis contains the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) values that are used to populate the data
area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4) of the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report, as specified by PivotTable
Layout (section 2.2.5.3.8). This axis also specifies additional information related to aggregation and
presentation of the values, as specified in section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1. The data axis is specified by the
sequence of records that conforms to the SXDIS rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.40). The order in
which the records appear in the SXDIS rule specifies the order that the pivot fields appear in on the
data axis.
2.2.5.3.7.5.1 Data Items
A data item is a pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) placed on the data axis (section 2.2.5.3.7.5). Each data
item is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the SXDI rule (as defined in section
2.1.7.40).
A BrtBeginSXDI (section 2.4.241) record or a BrtSXDI14 (section 2.4.801) record specifies the
reference to the pivot field that is associated with a data item. The BrtBeginSXDI record and
BrtSXDI14 records also specify additional information that is used to produce or present aggregated
values.
A data item can be referenced by a data item index, which is the zero-based index of the
BrtBeginSXDI record in the collection of BrtBeginSXDI records, as specified by the SXDI rule in the
2.2.5.3.7.5.2 Data Field
The data field is a conceptual field that represents all data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) and allows
them to be referenced as a single object. The data field is intended to allow all data items to be placed
on the row axis or column (1) axis.
If the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) has more than one data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1), then the
data field MUST be located on either the row axis, as specified by the rgisxvdrws field of the
BrtBeginISXVDRws (section 2.4.96) record, or the column (1) axis, as specified by the rgisxvdcols
field of the BrtBeginISXVDCols (section 2.4.95) record. For an OLAP PivotTable (section 2.2.5)
that has the data field located on the row axis, the data field MUST be referenced in the rgisxth field
of the BrtBeginISXTHRws (section 2.4.94) record. For an OLAP PivotTable that has the data field
145 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
located on the column (1) axis, the data field MUST be referenced in the rgisxth field of the
BrtBeginISXTHCols (section 2.4.93) record.
2.2.5.3.8 PivotTable Layout
The PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report in the sheet has four main areas: the row area, the column
(1) area, the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4), and the page area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.3).
Figure 15: PivotTable report illustrating the four different areas
All the records described in this section MUST exist in the same PivotTable part as specified by the
2.2.5.3.8.1 Location and Body
The column (1) area is located immediately above the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4). The cell in
the column (1) area containing the pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) caption or data item (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.1) caption to the farthest logical left is in the same column (1) as the logical top-left
cell of the data area.
The row area is located immediately to the logical left of the data area. The cell in the row area
containing the top-most pivot item caption or data item caption is in the same row as the logical top-
left cell of the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4).
The PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report body is the rectangular area defined by the union of the row
area, column (1) area, and data area.
The page area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.3), if it is not empty, is located above the PivotTable report body.
There is one row between the top-most cell of the PivotTable report body and the bottom-most cell
of the page area.
The PivotTable report is a non-contiguous range containing the union of the PivotTable report
body and the page area.
A BrtBeginSXLocation (section 2.4.252) record specifies details about the location in the sheet and
sizes of the areas of the PivotTable report as specified by the following.
The column (1) area of the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report is a range of cells as specified in the
following table.

record is equal to 1 the page area does not exist for this PivotTable report. If cRwPage is equal to 0
147 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
and the fNewDropZones field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record is equal to 0, then
the page area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.3) of the PivotTable report is a range of cells as specified in the
following table.
Page area Row or column index
Top row rfxGeom.rwFirst - 2
Bottom row rfxGeom.rwFirst - 2
2.2.5.3.8.1.1 Row Area
The row area contains pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2), the optional data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2),
or both that are placed on the row axis, along with associated pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) and data
items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1). The first row of the row area can contain pivot field or data field
captions (or both) as specified by the fNoHeaders field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273)
record. If fNoHeaders is equal to 0, the pivot field and data field captions are located above their
pivot items or data items.
Pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) or data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) of the pivot field (section
2.2.5.3.2) or data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) that have a position of zero on the row axis are placed
in the first column (1) of the row axis. For every other pivot field or data field on the row axis,
placement of pivot items or data items are calculated as follows:
§ If the previous pivot field or data field is not in compact axis mode, then pivot items
or data items of the current pivot field or data field are placed in the next column (1)
of the row area. Pivot items or data items are grouped by the parent pivot item or
data item, which is the pivot item or data item on the immediate logical left. To
achieve this, pivot items or data items of the parent pivot field or data field can be
repeated multiple times. In this case, when pivot items or data items are repeated,
the caption is not necessarily displayed in every cell that contains a pivot item or
data item. For more details, see section 2.2.5.3.8.3.
§ If the previous pivot field or data field is in compact axis mode, then the pivot items or
data items of the current pivot field or data field are placed in the same column (1) as
pivot items of the previous pivot field or data field. Pivot items or data items are
grouped by the parent pivot item or data item and placed immediately under the
parent pivot item or data item.
For the data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2), if the fCompactData field and the fOutlineData field of the
BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record are equal to 1, then the data field is specified to be in
compact axis mode. For pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2), if the fCompact field of the BrtBeginSXVD
(section 2.4.270) record is equal to 1 and the fOutline field of the BrtBeginSXVD record is equal to
1, then the pivot field is specified to be in compact axis mode.
The row area can have special entries at the end for grand totals. If there are no pivot fields and no
data field on the row axis, then the row area is empty.
2.2.5.3.8.1.2 Column Area
The column (1) area contains pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2), the optional data field (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.2), or both that are placed on the column (1) axis, along with associated pivot items
(section 2.2.5.3.3) and data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1). The first row of the column (1) area can
148 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
contain pivot field and data field captions as specified by the fNoHeaders field of the
If the fNoHeaders field and the fCompactData field of the BrtBeginSXView record are both equal
to 0 and no pivot fields are in compact axis mode, then the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) or data
field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) captions (or both) are placed sequentially in cells of the first row of the
column (1) area according to their placement on the column (1) axis.
If the fNoHeaders field of the BrtBeginSXView record is equal to 0 and the fCompactData field
and the fOutline field of the BrtBeginSXView record are both equal to 1, or if the fNoHeaders field
of the BrtBeginSXView record is equal to 0 and any pivot field is in compact axis mode, then the
pivot field or the data field captions (or both) are placed in the top logical left cell of the column (1)
area.
For the data field, if the fCompactData field and the fOutlineData field of the BrtBeginSXView
record are equal to 1, then the data field is specified to be in compact axis mode. For pivot fields
(section 2.2.5.3.2), if the fCompact field of the BrtBeginSXVD (section 2.4.270) record is equal to 1
and the fOutline field of the BrtBeginSXVD record is equal to 1, then the pivot field is specified to be
in compact axis mode.
If the fNoHeaders field of the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record is equal to 1, the pivot field
(section 2.2.5.3.2) and data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2) captions are not displayed. The row
containing pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) or data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) captions for the pivot
field or data field at position n on the column (1) axis is row n of the column (1) area.
If the fNoHeaders field of the BrtBeginSXView record is equal to 0, the second row in the column
(1) area contains pivot item or data item captions for the pivot field or data field placed first on the
column (1) axis, and each subsequent row contains the pivot item or data item captions for pivot
fields or data fields that occur later on the column (1) axis. The row containing pivot item or data item
captions for the pivot field or data field at position n is row (n+1) of the column (1) area.
The column (1) area can have special entries at the end for grand totals.
2.2.5.3.8.1.3 Page Area
The page area contains pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2) that are placed on the page axis (section
2.2.5.3.7.1) for non-OLAP PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3) and pivot hierarchies (section 2.2.5.3.4)
that are placed on the page axis for OLAP PivotTable views. For each pivot field or pivot hierarchy
(section 2.2.5.3.4) on the page axis, there are two cells in the page area. The cells are arranged in
pairs with each pair having a logical left cell and a logical right cell that are horizontally adjacent to
each other. The cell on the logical left contains the caption of the pivot field and the cell on the logical
right contains information about the current filtering associated with the pivot field or pivot hierarchy.
The relative position of the page area is specified by the BrtBeginSXLocation (section 2.4.252)
record. For more details, see section 2.2.5.3.8.1.
2.2.5.3.8.1.4 Data Area
The data area contains summarized values for the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3). Cells in the data
area contain summarized values for associated data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1). The summarized
value in a cell is restricted by all the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) in the column (1) area that are
located in the same column (1), by all the pivot items in the row area that are located on the same
row, and by any page filtering applied, as specified in section 2.2.5.3.7.1.
If the row area has a grand total, then the value in that row is not restricted by pivot items (section
2.2.5.3.3) from the row area. If the column (1) area has a grand total, then the value in that column
(1) is not restricted by pivot items from the column (1) area. If the PivotTable view has more than one
data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1), then the associated data item is the one that is located in the same
column (1) in the column (1) area or the same row in the row area as the cell with the summarized
value. If a PivotTable view has zero data items then the data area is empty.

[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.5.3.8.2 Truncation
When a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report does not fit within the boundaries of the sheet it is
truncated from the logical right and the bottom. It is truncated such that a part of the PivotTable
report is displayed within the sheet boundaries.
2.2.5.3.8.3 Pivot Lines
A pivot line specifies a collection of pivot line entries (section 2.2.5.3.8.4) for a single row or column
(1) in the PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report.
Each range that is an intersection of one column (1) and cells from the column (1) area that have
pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3), data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1), or a grand total is a pivot line of
the column (1) area.
Each range that is an intersection of one row and cells from the row area that have pivot items, data
items, or a grand total is a pivot line of the row area.
A pivot line is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the SXLI rule (defined in section
2.1.7.40). The sequence of records that conforms to the SXLIRWS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40)
specifies the collection of pivot lines for the row area. The order of SXLI rules in SXLIRWS is the
same as the top-to-bottom order of the pivot lines of the row area.
The sequence of records that conforms to the SXLICOLS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies
the collection of pivot lines for the column (1) area. The order of SXLI rules (defined in section
2.1.7.40) in the SXLICOLS rule is the same as the logical left to logical right order of pivot lines of
the column (1) area.
Each pivot line contains a number of pivot line entries (section 2.2.5.3.8.4). The first number of pivot
line entries are specified to be identical to those of the immediately preceding pivot line. These pivot
line entries are not stored in the file for this pivot line. The number of pivot line entries that are
identical to those of the immediately preceding pivot line is specified by the cSic field of the
BrtBeginSXLI (section 2.4.249) record. Additional pivot line entries are specified by the
BrtBeginIsxvis (section 2.4.97) record.
The first pivot line in the row area or the column (1) area MUST have a cSic field of its associated
BrtBeginSXLI record equal to 0.
The following figure shows an example of how to construct pivot lines from an SXLIRWS rule (defined
in section 2.1.7.40).
Figure 16: PivotTable and the table used to create each pivot line on the row axis
150 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
In this example, the table to the right contains the different components used to construct each pivot
line (section 2.2.5.3.8.3), and the resulting pivot line. The first column (1) contains the value of the
cSic field from each BrtBeginSXLI (section 2.4.249) in the SXLIRWS rule (defined in section
2.1.7.40). The second column (1) contains the array of pivot line entries (section 2.2.5.3.8.4)
specified by the rgisxvis field in the BrtBeginIsxvis (section 2.4.97) record of each SXLI rule
The third column (1), labeled "Copied", represents the array of pivot line entries (section 2.2.5.3.8.4)
of the previous pivot line that are to be copied to construct the current pivot line. The values in this
column (1) are determined by copying the first n items, where n is equal to the value in the cSic
column (1). If the value in the cSic column (1) is 0, no items need to be copied from the preceding
pivot line.
The fourth column (1), labeled "Pivot Line", represents the final array of pivot line entries that make
up the pivot line. This array is constructed by taking the union of the array in the "Copied" column (1)
and the "rgisxvi" column (1), maintaining the order.
2.2.5.3.8.4 Pivot Line Entries
Pivot line entries specify references to the pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) or data items (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.1) of a pivot line (section 2.2.5.3.8.3). Pivot line entries are specified by the records that
conform to the ISXVIS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) in the SXLI rule (defined in section
2.1.7.40). A pivot line entry is an element in the array specified by the rgisxvis field of the
BrtBeginIsxvis (section 2.4.97) record.
All pivot line entries with a zero-based index in a pivot line less than the value specified by the cSic
field of the BrtBeginSXLI (section 2.4.249) record of this pivot line are specified to be identical to
those of the preceding pivot line.
For the purposes of the rest of this section, n specifies a position of the pivot line entry on this pivot
line.
If the value of n is less than the cSic field of the BrtBeginSXLI record of a given pivot line (section
2.2.5.3.8.3), then the pivot line entry at position n is identical to the corresponding pivot line entry of
the pivot line preceding the given pivot line.
If the value of n is greater than or equal to the cSic field of the BrtBeginSXLI record of this pivot
line, then the value of n is equal to the sum of the cSic field of the BrtBeginSXLI record and the
current index in the rgisxvis field of the BrtBeginIsxvis (section 2.4.97) record of this pivot line.
If a pivot line entry is in a pivot line in the row area, each pivot line entry at any position n specifies a
pivot item (section 2.2.5.3.3) index of a pivot item in the nth pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) on the row
axis or specifies a data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) index, if the nth field on the row axis is the data
field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2).
If a pivot line entry is in a pivot line (section 2.2.5.3.8.3) in the column (1) area, each pivot line
entry at any position n specifies a pivot item index of a pivot item in the nth pivot field on the column
(1) axis or specifies a data item index, if the nth field on the column (1) axis is the data field.
If the nth pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) on the row axis or column (1) axis is the data field, the pivot
line entry is a data item index, as specified in section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1.
Pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3) and data items are specified sequentially from logical left to logical
right for row pivot lines, and from top to bottom for column (1) pivot lines.
A pivot line entry with a value of 0x001000FE is used to specify the absence of a pivot item or data
item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1).
2.2.5.3.9 PivotTable Rules
151 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
A PivotTable rule can be used to identify cells in a PivotTable (section 2.2.5) report. A PivotTable
rule is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the PIVOTRULE (section 2.1.8) or
PIVOTRULE14 rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.40). Each PivotTable rule references a specific area
of a PivotTable report, pivot fields (section 2.2.5.3.2), the data field (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.2), or cache
fields (section 2.2.5.2.2) and optionally corresponding pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3), data items
(section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1), or cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3) associated with cells in a PivotTable
report. When cache items are referenced, the PivotTable rule references calculated items (section
2.2.5.2.6) associated with those cache items.
Each sequence of records that conforms to the PRFILTER (defined in section 2.1.8) or PRFILTER14
rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.40) in the PIVOTRULE or PIVOTRULE14 rule (respectively)
specifies a set of pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3), data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1), or cache items for
an individual pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2), data field, or cache field. This set of pivot items, data
items, or cache items is specified by the sequence of records that conforms to the PRFITEM (section
2.1.8) or PRFITEM14 rules (as defined in section 2.1.7.40) within the PRFILTER or PRFILTER14
rule, respectively.
The pruleheaderdata.fCacheBased field in the BrtBeginPRule (section 2.4.183) record specifies

whether the PivotTable rule specifies cache items (section 2.2.5.2.3). The pruleheaderdata.isxvd
field in the BrtBeginPRule and BrtBeginPRule14 (section 2.4.184) records specifies whether the
PivotTable rule specifies pivot items (section 2.2.5.3.3), or data items (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1) as
follows:
§ If pruleheaderdata.fCacheBased field in the BrtBeginPRule record equals 1, then this PivotTable

rule references cache items. The pruleheaderdata.fCacheBased field in the BrtBeginPRule14
record equals 0.
§ If the pruleheaderdata.fCacheBased field in the BrtBeginPRule record equals 0 and the record
is a BrtBeginPRule14 record and the pruleheaderdata.isxvd field in the same BrtBeginPRule or
BrtBeginPRule14 record equals -2, then this PivotTable rule references the data field (section
2.2.5.3.7.5.2).
§ If the pruleheaderdata.fCacheBased field in the BrtBeginPRule record equals 0 and the record
is a BrtBeginPRule14 record and the pruleheaderdata.isxvd field in the same BrtBeginPRule or
BrtBeginPRule14 record does not equal -2, then this PivotTable rule references pivot items.
Cells that are associated with any pivot item, data item (section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1), or cache item (section
2.2.5.2.3) from an individual PRFILTER (defined in section 2.1.8) or PRFILTER14 rule (as defined in
section 2.1.7.40) and that meet restrictions specified by the corresponding BrtBeginPRFilter (section
2.4.177) or BrtBeginPRFilter14 (section 2.4.178) record are associated with this PRFILTER or
PRFILTER14 rule, respectively.
Cells that are associated with every PRFILTER (defined in section 2.1.8) or PRFILTER14 rule (as
defined in section 2.1.7.40) of the PIVOTRULE (section 2.1.8) or PIVOTRULE14 rule (as defined in
section 2.1.7.40) (respectively) are associated with the PRFILTERS or PRFILTERS14 rule
(respectively) in the PIVOTRULE or PIVOTRULE14 rule (respectively). Cells that are associated with
the PRFILTERS or PRFILTERS14 rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.40) in the PIVOTRULE (section
2.1.8) or PIVOTRULE14 rule (respectively) and that meet the restrictions specified by the
corresponding BrtBeginPRule (section 2.4.183) or BrtBeginPRule14 (section 2.4.184) record are
the cells specified by the PivotTable rule (section 2.2.5.3.9).
A cell is associated with a particular cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3) if it is associated with the pivot
item (section 2.2.5.3.3) that has an association with that cache item.

PivotTable What-if Analysis enables the editing of summarized values in an OLAP PivotTable view
(section 2.2.5.3), for example, editing summarized values in the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4) of
the PivotTable view.
152 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
The sequence of records that conform to the SXEDITS rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies the
values in the OLAP PivotTable view that have been modified and specifies the corresponding values
in the OLAP source data (section 2.2.5.2.1). The sequence of records that conform to the SXEDIT rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies a value or a formula. A value is specified by the Xnum (section
2.5.171) field of a BrtBeginSXEdit (section 2.4.243) record and MUST exist if and only if the sxet
field of the BrtBeginSXEdit record is equal to SXET_NUM (section 2.5.146). A formula is specified
by the FRTHeader field of the BrtBeginSXEdit record. The location of the modified value in the OLAP
PivotTable view is specified by the PivotTable rule (section 2.2.5.3.9) that immediately follows the
BrtBeginSXEdit record. The OLAP tuple that identifies the corresponding value in the OLAP source
data is specified by the rgStTuple field of the BrtSXTupleItems (section 2.4.806) record that
immediate follows the BrtBeginSXEdit record.
The sequence of records that conforms to the SXCHANGES rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies
the values in the OLAP PivotTable view that have been designated for OLAP allocation and specifies
the corresponding values in the OLAP source data. The order of the BrtBeginSXChange (section
2.4.233) records determines the order in which they are designated for OLAP allocation. The sequence
of records that conforms to the SXCHANGE rule (defined in section 2.1.7.40) specifies a single edited
value designated for OLAP allocation. An OLAP allocation value is specified by the xnum field of a
BrtBeginSXChange record. The OLAP tuple that identifies the location of the edited value in the
OLAP PivotTable view and the corresponding value in the OLAP source data is specified by the
rgStTuple field of a BrtSXTupleItems record that immediately follows the BrtBeginSXChange
record. The sxma field of the BrtBeginSXChange record specifies the OLAP allocation method.
For example, when an OLAP PivotTable is refreshed, the values designated for OLAP allocation
(SXCHANGES) are sent to the OLAP source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) provider along with the OLAP
allocation method indicating how to allocate the updated values. The OLAP source data provider
updates the values, and those new values are then refreshed and summarized in the data area
(section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4) of the PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3) instead of summarizing the original
values from the OLAP source data.
If the fEnableWB field of the BrtBeginSXView14 (section 2.4.274) is 0x0, SXEDITS (section
2.1.7.40) and SXCHANGES (section 2.1.7.40) MUST NOT exist in the part. PivotTable What-if
Analysis is enabled if and only if the fEnableWB field of the BrtBeginSXView14 record is 0x1 and
the source data is OLAP.
2.2.5.4 OLAP Data Model
This section provides background information about the underlying data model for OLAP entities.
The principal unit of scope is an OLAP cube. See section 2.2.8 for information about how an OLAP
cube is accessed. Items within an OLAP cube can be addressed by an MDX unique name string.
Within an OLAP cube, there are OLAP hierarchies, OLAP measures and OLAP named sets.
An OLAP hierarchy consists of one or more OLAP levels and OLAP member properties. An OLAP
level consists of one or more OLAP members. An OLAP member is an atomic unit of data, for
example customer "Jim Smith", or a grouping of data, for example "customers in the city of Chicago".
OLAP levels contain OLAP members of similar type within an OLAP hierarchy. OLAP members can have
parent and child members in OLAP levels above and below them, for example "Jim Smith" might be a
child of "customers in the city of Chicago". An OLAP member property can be associated with a single
OLAP level or all OLAP levels of an OLAP hierarchy, for example a "Mayor" OLAP member property
might be associated with a "City" OLAP level.
An OLAP tuple is a way of combining multiple OLAP members to reference a particular point in an
OLAP cube, for example "customers in the city of Chicago" and "2008" references data in the OLAP
cube corresponding to the year 2008 and customers in Chicago.
An OLAP measure is a value that is available in the OLAP cube. Usually it is numeric, "Sales" and
"Head Count" are typical examples of OLAP measures. An OLAP measure is an OLAP member in a
153 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
measures OLAP hierarchy. For a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), OLAP measures are stored
differently from other OLAP members in this file format.
An OLAP tuple including an OLAP measure can be used to get a value, for example "customers in the
city of Chicago", "2008" and "sales" might reference the value $659,000.
An OLAP named set is a collection of OLAP tuples. OLAP named sets are typically used for specific
analytical needs that require custom logic, for example an OLAP named set might be defined as the
OLAP tuples corresponding to "the top 10 customers by month and sales".
2.2.5.5 Non-Worksheet PivotTables
A PivotTable (section 2.2.5) with a PivotTable (section 2.1.7.40) part that is a target of an explicit
relationship from a workbook (section 2.1.7.61) part, is specified to be a Non-Worksheet PivotTable.
Non-Worksheet PivotTables provide a way for Charts (section 2.2.3) to be based on PivotTable data
without having to show the data in a worksheet (section 2.1.7.62), for more information see [MS-
ODRAWXML] section 2.6.1.21. A Non-Worksheet PivotTable MUST NOT be referenced by any other
part than the workbook part.
There MUST be a BrtPivotCacheIdVersion (section 2.4.733) record between the

BrtBeginPivotCacheDef (section 2.4.167) and BrtEndPivotCacheDef (section 2.4.515) records as
defined by the PivotCache Definition (section 2.1.7.38) part ABNF, that specify the PivotCache
(section 2.2.5.2) associated with a Non-Worksheet PivotTable.
The value of the bVerSxMacro field defined in the BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record
associated with a Non-Worksheet PivotTable MUST be greater than or equal to 3.
The field rfxGeom of the BrtBeginSXLocation (section 2.4.252) record as specified by the
SXLOCATION rule in the PivotTable (section 2.1.7.40) part ABNF, MUST have value 0 for its
members rwFirst and colFirst.
The records BrtBeginSxEdits (section 2.4.244) and BrtEndSxEdits (section 2.4.592) as specified by
SXEDITS rule in the PivotTable part ABNF MUST NOT exist in this PivotTable part.
The records BrtBeginSxChanges (section 2.4.234) and BrtEndSxChanges (section 2.4.582) as

specified by SXCHANGES rule in the PivotTable part ABNF MUST NOT exist in this PivotTable part.
The records BrtBeginSXCondFmts (section 2.4.237) and BrtEndSXCondFmts (section 2.4.585) as

specified by SXCONDFMTS rule in the PivotTable part ABNF MUST NOT exist in this PivotTable part.
The BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273) record that specifies a Non-Worksheet PivotTable MUST
satisfy the following conditions.
§ The fEnableDataEd field MUST be 0.
§ The PivotTable name specified by the irstName field MUST be unique among all the Non-
Worksheet PivotTables in the workbook.
2.2.5.6 PivotValues
The PivotValues collection is a collection of values that exist in the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4)
of a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3). PivotValues contains a collection of PivotValueCell (section
2.2.5.6.1) data units that are organized as rows and columns (1) in the data area of the PivotTable
view.
For a Non-Worksheet PivotTable (section 2.2.5.5), the values of PivotValues are specified by the
BrtBeginSxvcells (section 2.4.269) and the BrtEndSxvcells (section 2.4.617) records.
154 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
For PivotTable structures on a worksheet (section 2.1.7.62), the values of PivotValues are
specified by the cells of the worksheet cell table in the locations that are specified by the
BrtBeginSXLocation (section 2.4.252) record and the BrtEndSXLocation (section 2.4.600) record.
2.2.5.6.1 PivotValueCell
A PivotValueCell is an individual data unit in the Data Area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4) of a PivotTable View
(section 2.2.5.3). PivotValueCells contain summarized values for associated PivotTable Data Items
(section 2.2.5.3.7.5.1). Every PivotValueCell can have two kinds of information associated with it, the
Value (section 2.2.5.6.1.1) and the Server Formatting (section 2.2.5.6.1.2) information.
2.2.5.6.1.1 Value
The value of a PivotValueCell (section 2.2.5.6.1) is specified to be the number, string, error, date
associated with the PivotValueCell.
2.2.5.6.1.2 Server Formatting
The server formatting of a PivotValueCell (section 2.2.5.6.1) specifies formatting to be applied to the
PivotValueCell and is specified by the PCDISrvFmt (section 2.5.101) structure.
2.2.6 Styles
The styles (section 2.1.7.50) part contains formatting and protection information. This information is
used to describe the cell formatting in a sheet.
Cell formatting is composed of several sets of properties:
§ Font properties such as bold, italic, font color, and font size.
§ Fill properties such as foreground and background colors, pattern, and gradient.
§ Alignment properties such as left, center, and right alignment.
§ Border properties such as left, right, top, bottom, thick or thin, and color.
§ Number formatting properties (date, time, number of decimal places, etc…)
§ Protection properties such as locked and hidden.
These properties, as a whole, describe how a particular cell is displayed and printed.
There are two types of objects in the styles part that contain formatting properties. They are XFs
(section 2.2.6.1) and DXFs (section 2.2.6.2). In general, XFs describe the formatting directly
associated with a cell, and DXFs describe additional formatting properties that can be applied to one
or more cells.
2.2.6.1 XFs
XFs specify formatting for cells and cell styles (section 2.2.6.1.2).
XFs are specified by BrtXF (section 2.4.847) records. BrtXF records specify font, fill, border and
number formatting via indices into the FONTS (section 2.1.7.50), FILLS (section 2.1.7.50),
BORDERS (section 2.1.7.50), and FMTS (section 2.1.7.50) collections. Alignment and protection
properties are specified directly in the BrtXF record.
2.2.6.1.1 Cell XFs
155 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Cell XFs are specified by BrtXF (section 2.4.847) records in the CELLXFS (section 2.1.7.50)
collection. Each cell MUST reference a cell XF. These records specify the complete set of formatting
properties for the cells that reference them.
2.2.6.1.2 Cell Styles
Cell styles specify a set of formatting properties that can be associated with one or more cells. Cell
styles provide the following two benefits:
§ The set of formatting properties in a cell style can be applied to one or more cells in a single
operation.
§ Once a cell style is applied to a cell, subsequent changes to the formatting properties in the cell
style can be propagated to the cell automatically.
For example, if it is desired that multiple cells in a sheet share a common set of formatting
properties, such as bold font with a blue fill, then cell styles make it convenient to apply this set of
formatting, and potentially modify the set later.
A BrtStyle (section 2.4.784) record specifies a friendly name for a cell style.
2.2.6.1.2.1 Cell Style XFs
A cell style XF defines the set of formatting properties in a cell style (section 2.2.6.1.2), and is
specified by a BrtXF (section 2.4.847) record in the CELLSTYLEXFS (section 2.1.7.50) collection.
Each cell MUST reference a cell XF (section 2.2.6.1.1) , and each cell XF MUST reference a cell style
XF with the ixfeParent field.
2.2.6.1.2.2 Normal Style
At least one cell style (section 2.2.6.1.2) MUST be included in the STYLES (section 2.1.7.50)
collection and this cell style (section 2.2.6.1.2) is called the normal style. The normal style MUST
reference the first BrtXF (section 2.4.847) record in the CELLSTYLEXFS collection, and this BrtXF
record MUST be a cell style XF (section 2.2.6.1.2.1), where the fStyle field equals 1.
The normal style, being the only required cell style, ensures that all cells have a cell style to
reference. The normal style also provides a convenient object in which to store default cell formatting
properties for an entire workbook, because all cells reference the normal style by default, until they
are modified to reference a different cell style.
2.2.6.2 Differential Formatting (DXFs)
Like XFs (section 2.2.6.1), DXFs define a set of formatting properties. Unlike XFs, DXFs can define
any number of formatting properties, from just one to all of them.
DXFs provide a way for features to reference a set of formatting properties. How those properties are
used depends on the feature. The subsections that follow describe each of these features and how
they use DXFs.
DXFs are specified by BrtDXF (section 2.4.354) records in the DXFS (section 2.1.7.50) collection, or
by BrtDXF14 (section 2.4.355) records in the DXF14S collection.
Future records (section 2.1.6) that refer to differential formatting MUST refer to BrtDXF14 records.
2.2.6.2.1 Conditional Formatting
Some conditional formatting rules, as specified by BrtBeginCFRule (section 2.4.22), reference a DXF
(section 2.2.6.2). That DXF describes additional formatting applied to cells within the bounds of the
rule, if the rule’s condition is TRUE for those cells.
156 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.6.2.2 Table Style Elements
Table style elements are specified either by BrtTableStyleElement (section 2.4.820) or, in the case
of table style element specific to slicer styles (section 2.2.6.3.1), by BrtSlicerStyleElement (section
2.4.779), or, in the case of table style element specific to timeline styles (section 2.2.6.3.2), by
BrtTimelineStyleElement (section 2.4.823). In whichever case, table style elements can reference a
DXF (section 2.2.6.2) which specifies the formatting to apply to a particular portion of a table,
PivotTable (section 2.2.5), slicer (section 2.2.14.2) or timeline (section 2.2.15.2) within the bounds
of the table style element. If no DXF is referenced, this specifies no formatting.
The bounds of a table style element are specified by the tseType field in the BrtTableStyleElement
record, the tseType field in the BrtSlicerStyleElement record, or the tseType field in the
BrtTimelineStyleElement record.
2.2.6.2.3 Table Block-Level Formatting
A table, as specified by the BrtBeginList (section 2.4.99) record, can reference a DXF (section
2.2.6.2) via the nDxfHeader, nDxfData, nDxfAgg, nDxfBorder, nDxfHeaderBorder or
nDxfAggBorder fields. These DXFs (section 2.2.6.2) represent formatting that can be applied to the
cells within those areas of the table.
2.2.6.2.4 PivotTable Areas
A PivotTable (section 2.2.5) format record, as specified by BrtBeginSXFormat (section 2.4.247),

can reference a DXF (section 2.2.6.2). This DXF represents formatting that can be applied to the
cells within the appropriate area of the PivotTable.
2.2.6.2.5 Sorting and Filtering
Sorting, as specified by the BrtBeginSortCond (section 2.4.222), and filtering, as specified by the
BrtColorFilter (section 2.4.334) record, can include formatting properties as part of their criteria.
These properties are stored as DXFs (section 2.2.6.2). For example, a filter criteria that is "filter only
cells with red font color" will reference a DXF with the property "font color = red".
2.2.6.3 Table Styles
Table styles specify additional formatting for cells inside tables, PivotTables (section 2.2.5), for
visual components of slicer views (section 2.2.14.2), or for visual components of timeline views
(section 2.2.15.2). Table styles used for slicer views are specified in slicer styles (section 2.2.6.3.1).
Table styles used for timeline views are specified in timeline styles (section 2.2.6.3.2).
Tables and PivotTables specify an applied table style with the BrtTableStyleClient (section 2.4.819)
record. For tables, this record MUST exist in the collection of records beginning with BrtBeginList
(section 2.4.99). For PivotTables, this record MUST exist in the collection of records beginning with
BrtBeginSXView (section 2.4.273).
A BrtTableStyleClient (section 2.4.819) record references a table style by name with the
stStyleName field.
Table styles are either built-in or user-defined. Built-in table styles for tables and PivotTables
(section 2.2.5) are specified in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.8. User-defined table styles are
specified in the collection of records beginning with BrtBeginTableStyles (section 2.4.279).
A table style consists of a collection of table style elements (section 2.2.6.2.2). For user-defined table
styles, these elements are specified by the collection of BrtTableStyleElement (section 2.4.820)
records following BrtBeginTableStyle (section 2.4.278).
157 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Each table style element specifies the formatting to be applied to cells in a particular region of the
table or PivotTable, or visual components in a particular region of a slicer view or timeline view.
These regions or visual components are specified by the possible values of the tseType field of the
BrtTableStyleElement, BrtSlicerStyleElement (section 2.4.779) and BrtTimelineStyleElement
(section 2.4.823) records.
2.2.6.3.1 Slicer Styles
Slicer styles specify the formatting to apply to visual components of slicer views (section 2.2.14.2).
The stStyle field of the BrtBeginSlicer (section 2.4.200) record specifies the slicer style to be
applied. A slicer style can be either built-in or user-defined. Built-in slicer styles are specified in
BrtBeginSlicer. User-defined slicer styles are specified in the collection of records beginning with
BrtBeginSlicerStyles (section 2.4.219).
A slicer style is an extension of a table style (section 2.2.6.3). A user-defined slicer style is specified
by a BrtBeginSlicerStyle (section 2.4.217) record and the BrtBeginTableStyle (section 2.4.278)
record it references. A slicer style consists of a collection of table style elements (section 2.2.6.2.2).
For user-defined slicer styles, these elements are specified by the collection of
BrtSlicerStyleElement (section 2.4.779) records following BrtBeginSlicerStyle and the table style
elements specified by the user-defined table style referenced by stName field of the
BrtBeginSlicerStyle record.
2.2.6.3.2 Timeline Styles
Timeline styles specify the formatting to apply to visual components of timeline views (section
2.2.15.2).
The style attribute of the CT_Timeline element ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.111) specifies the timeline
style to be applied. A timeline style can be either built-in or user-defined. Built-in timeline styles are
specified in CT_Timeline element. User-defined timeline styles are specified in the collection of
records beginning with BrtBeginTimelineStyles (section 2.4.287).
A timeline style is an extension of a table style (section 2.2.6.3). A user-defined timeline style is
specified by a BrtBeginTimelineStyle (section 2.4.285) record and the BrtBeginTableStyle
(section 2.4.278) record it references. A timeline style consists of a collection of table style elements
(section 2.2.6.2.2). For user-defined timeline styles, these elements are specified by the collection of
BrtTimelineStyleElement (section 2.4.823) records following BrtBeginTimelineStyle and the table
style elements specified by the user-defined table style referenced by stName field of the
BrtBeginTimelineStyle record.
2.2.6.4 Format Conflicts
As described previously, the formatting to be displayed or printed for a particular cell can be specified
in several independent records. It is up to the application to resolve conflicting formatting properties
for a particular cell.
For example, suppose a cell has a conditional format (section 2.2.6.2.1) applied and also falls within
the bounds of a table with a table style (section 2.2.6.3). Furthermore, suppose the cell XF (section
2.2.6.1.1), conditional format and table style element (section 2.2.6.2.2) all specify a different font
color. It is up to the application to decide the appropriate font color to use in this situation.
2.2.7 External References
The External References infrastructure exists to support formulas (section 2.2.2) that reference data
sources outside the scope of the sheet on which the formula resides. These sources could be other
sheets in the same workbook, data in another workbook, DDE links, or Object Linking and
Embedding (OLE) links. A workbook which uses External References will contain a collection of
158 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
supporting link records (section 2.2.7.3), each of which denotes a link to a data source. Each formula
which incorporates an external reference will point to the appropriate supporting link record to specify
the source of the data.
Figure 17: External references
The following sections define terms used in the preceding diagram.
2.2.7.1 External Reference Consumers
Within the formula, only certain formula elements (section 2.2.2.6) can contain external references.
These specific formula elements contain an XtiIndex (section 2.5.97.103) structure specifying an Xti
(section 2.5.172), which in turn specifies the location and type of the external reference data. Only
the following Ptgs (section 2.5.97.16) can be external reference consumers:
§ PtgRef3d (section 2.5.97.69)
§ PtgRefErr3d (section 2.5.97.71)
§ PtgArea3d (section 2.5.97.19)
159 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
§ PtgAreaErr3d (section 2.5.97.21)
§ PtgNameX (section 2.5.97.61)
§ PtgList (section 2.5.97.52)
2.2.7.2 Supporting Link
Each formula element (section 2.2.2.6) which references external data refers to an Xti (section
2.5.172). The Xti specifies a particular supporting link record (section 2.2.7.3) from the collection
stored in the workbook. The Xti and supporting link record together specify where the data used by
the formula element resides, and in certain cases, additional data about the supporting link.
2.2.7.3 Supporting Link Record
There are four types of supporting links, which are represented by the four types of supporting link
records. The type of the supporting link used is specified by the type of supporting link record that is
specified by the Xti (section 2.5.172). These supporting link types, and the corresponding supporting
link record types, are defined in the following table.
Supporting link type Supporting link record type Meaning

Self-Referencing BrtSupSelf (section 2.4.799) A reference back into the same
workbook.
This supporting link type

supports cross-sheet references,
where the target sheets are
specified by the scope
information in the Xti. This
record can also support defined
name or UDF reference on the
same book, although using the
PtgName (section 2.5.97.60)
formula element (section
2.2.2.6) can be simpler.
Same-Sheet Referencing BrtSupSame (section 2.4.798) A reference to the active sheet
in the context of the consuming
formula (section 2.2.2).
This supporting link type is used

by formula in macro sheets and
in defined names to reference
the sheet of the caller.
Add-in Referencing BrtSupAddin (section 2.4.785) A reference to a UDF on any
Excel Linked Library (XLL) or
COM automation add-in.
External Link Referencing BrtSupBookSrc (section A reference to an external link
2.4.786) (section 2.2.7.4).
2.2.7.4 External Link
An external link is a type of supporting link (section 2.2.7.2) that references a data source outside
the current workbook. The BrtSupBookSrc (section 2.4.786) record that specifies an external link
that contains a relationship to an External Links (section 2.1.7.25) part that will contain further
information about this external link. There are three types of external links. The type is specified by
the sbt field in the BrtBeginSupBook (section 2.4.232) record in the External Links part. These
three types of external links are specified by the sequence of records that conform to the
160 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
EXTERNALBOOK rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.25) or by the sequence of records that conform to
the DDEOLELINK rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.25) in the External Links part ABNF, and are
defined in the following table.
External link type Record sequence ABNF
External Workbook (section 2.1.10) EXTERNALBOOK
DDE Data Source (section 2.2.7.4.2) DDEOLELINK
OLE Data Source (section 2.2.7.4.3) DDEOLELINK
2.2.7.4.1 External Workbook Links
An external workbook link is a reference to a workbook other than the one in which the source
formula (section 2.2.2) resides. It contains the referencing expression, and data relating to that
expression. This data includes the workbook location, sheet names, external defined names (section
2.2.7.4.1.1), and an external cell cache (section 2.2.7.4.1.2) for referenced cells in that workbook.
2.2.7.4.1.1 External Defined Name
An external defined name is a reference to a defined name in an external workbook (section 2.1.10).
The records specifying the external defined name will provide the name, scope, and formula (section
2.2.2) of the defined name on that workbook. The restrictions on the types of formulas supported in
external defined names are described in section 2.4.791.
2.2.7.4.1.2 External Cell Cache
To allow external cell references to be calculated without opening the referenced workbook, an
external cell cache is stored in the file which contains cached values for cells in a sheet in an external
workbook (section 2.1.10). The external cell cache contains cell values and value metadata (section
2.2.4.3) information only about the specific cells which are referenced in that sheet.
The external cell cache is composed of a collection of rows that correspond to rows in the source
sheet. These rows, and their row indexes in the source sheet, are specified by a BrtExternRowHdr
(section 2.4.658) record. The rows MUST be specified in order of increasing row index. Each row MUST
contain one or more external cells (section 2.2.7.4.1.2.1).
2.2.7.4.1.2.1 External Cells
An external cell is cached data about a single cell in the external cell cache (section 2.2.7.4.1.2) and is
represented by the following records:
§ BrtExternCellBlank (section 2.4.653)
§ BrtExternCellString (section 2.4.657)
§ BrtExternCellReal (section 2.4.656)
§ BrtExternCellError (section 2.4.655)
§ BrtExternCellBool (section 2.4.654)
External cell records specify the data type, data value, and the column (1) location of that cell in the
source sheet. The external cells in a row in an external cell cache (section 2.2.7.4.1.2) MUST be
specified in order of increasing column (1) index. Any value metadata (section 2.2.4.3) in the External
161 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
cell is specified by an optional BrtExternValueMeta (section 2.4.662) record preceding the data
records listed earlier.
2.2.7.4.2 DDE Data Source
A DDE Data Source will provide information about the DDE server and DDE topic name of a
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) connection. The External Links (section 2.1.7.25) part specifying
this DDE Data Source will also specify individual DDE data items (section 2.2.7.4.2.1) used by this
data source.
2.2.7.4.2.1 DDE Data Item
A DDE data item will specify the name and properties of a DDE item. It also contains cached values
from the most recent DDE data update.
2.2.7.4.3 OLE Data Source
An OLE data source will provide information about an OLE2 data connection. It will specify the path to
the OLE2 data source, and the ProgID of the application handler. This also specifies the names of
the OLE Data Items (section 2.2.7.4.3.1) used in this data source.
2.2.7.4.3.1 OLE Data Item
An OLE data item will specify the name and properties of a connection to an OLE2 data object, and
optionally<3> cached values for the most recent data update.
2.2.8 External Connections
A workbook often pulls in data from external data sources, such as a database or an OLAP cube.
An external connection represents a link between a workbook and a particular external data source. It
contains properties about the way that the application establishes the connection to the data source
and retrieves the data, such as the type of data provider (OLE DB, ODBC, and other data
providers), a server name, security information, and a command to execute on the server. In
addition, the external connection contains details about the way the connection is used in the
workbook, such as how often to refresh the data.
A data connection object contains external connection information for an external data source that a
workbook uses. Data connection objects are independent of the constructs in the workbook that
display data, such as tables or PivotTables (section 2.2.5).
A connection definition can be established in an external connection file for easier sharing and reuse,
but this overview describes the representation for external data connections that are directly
embedded within a workbook file. This embedded representation is required whenever external data is
used, and ensures portability of the document and continued operation of the external query in the
most cases.
An external connection is specified by a set of records, as defined in EXTCONNECTION (section

2.1.7.24). The types of records in the collection are specified by the idbtype field of the
BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record.
The following record types refer to external connections:
§ BrtBeginPCDSource (section 2.4.165)
§ BrtBeginQSI (section 2.4.185)
§ BrtBeginList (section 2.4.99)
162 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
The link between a BrtBeginExtConnection record and the records referring to it is specified by the
unique connection identifier. The connection identifier is specified by the dwConnID field in the
BrtBeginExtConnection record and in the dwConnID fields in the records that refer to it. If the
dwConnID field in one of the referring records is 0, this record does not refer to external data.
It is possible for an external connection to not be used by any workbook object. In this case there is
no record referring to it.
2.2.8.1 Connection Name
Each external connection has a unique name, which can be used by the application as a friendly
name for the connection, for example for user interface purposes. The connection name is specified
by the stConnName field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record.
2.2.8.2 External Connection Files
An external connection file specifies an external connection in a separate file (external to the
workbook). An external connection file enables managing connection information separately from a
specific workbook and sharing it among multiple workbooks. It is used for creating a new external
connection in a workbook or for restoring a lost connection. The stConnectionFile field of the
BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record specifies a path to an external connection file.
2.2.8.3 OLE DB Connections
An OLE DB connection is a connection to an OLE DB data provider. An external connection is an OLE

DB connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record is
DBTOLEDB (section 2.5.30). Properties of an OLE DB connection are specified by a
BrtBeginECDbProps (section 2.4.60) record that MUST follow the BrtBeginExtConnection (section
2.4.79) record. For more information about OLE DB, see [MSDN-OLEDBP-OI].
2.2.8.3.1 OLAP Connections
An OLAP connection is a connection to an OLE DB for OLAP data provider. An OLE DB connection is
an OLAP connection if the icmdtype field of the BrtBeginECDbProps (section 2.4.60) is CMDCUBE
(section 2.5.20). Properties of an OLAP connection are specified by a BrtBeginECOlapProps (section
2.4.61) record that MUST follow the BrtBeginECDbProps record.
2.2.8.4 ODBC Connections
An ODBC connection is a connection to an ODBC data provider. An external connection is an ODBC

connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record is DBTODBC
(section 2.5.30). Properties of an ODBC connection are specified by a BrtBeginECDbProps (section
2.4.60) record that MUST follow the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record. If an ODBC
connection has parameters, these parameters are specified by a BrtBeginECParams (section 2.4.63)
record. For more information about ODBC, see [MSFT-ODBCODCO].
2.2.8.5 Web Connections
A Web connection pulls the content of a Web page, or part of a Web page (an HTML table), into the
workbook. An external connection is a Web connection if the idbtype field of the
BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record is DBTWEB (section 2.5.30). Properties of a Web
connection are specified by a BrtBeginECWebProps (section 2.4.70) record that MUST follow the
BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record. If a Web connection has parameters, these
parameters are specified by a BrtBeginECParams (section 2.4.63) record.
163 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.8.6 Text Import Connections
A text importation connection pulls in data from a structured text file into the workbook. An
external connection is a text importation connection if the idbtype field of the
BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record is DBTTEXT (section 2.5.30). Properties of a text
importation connection are specified by a BrtBeginECTxtWiz (section 2.4.68) record that MUST
follow the BrtBeginExtConnection record.
2.2.8.7 ADO Recordset Connections
An ADO recordset pulls in data from a set of records in an ADO data provider. An external
connection is an ADO recordset connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection
(section 2.4.79) record is DBTADO (section 2.5.30). The sequence of records that conforms to the
EXTCONNECTION rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.24) for this connection type MUST NOT contain
the sequence of records that conforms to any of the following rules: ECDBPROPS (section 2.1.7.24),
ECOLAPPROPS (section 2.1.7.24), ECWEBPROPS (section 2.1.7.24), ECTXTWIZ (section 2.1.7.24),
or ECPARAMS (section 2.1.7.24).
Note: For this type of connection, the file format does not contain sufficient information for
establishing the connection and fetching a recordset. Data is provided to the application through
another mechanism, for example by script code using an object model.
2.2.8.8 DAO Recordset Connections
A DAO recordset pulls in data from a set of records in a DAO data provider. An external connection
is a DAO recordset connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79)
record is DBTDAO (section 2.5.30). The sequence of records that conforms to the EXTCONNECTION
rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.24) for this connection type MUST NOT contain the sequence of
records that conforms to any of the following rules: ECDBPROPS (section 2.1.7.24), ECOLAPPROPS
(section 2.1.7.24), ECWEBPROPS (section 2.1.7.24), ECTXTWIZ (section 2.1.7.24), or ECPARAMS
(section 2.1.7.24).
Note: For this type of connection, the file format does not contain sufficient information for
establishing the connection and fetching a recordset. Data is provided to the application through
another mechanism, for example by script code using an object model.
2.2.8.9 Model Data Source Connections
Model data source connections pull data in to the spreadsheet data model (as specified in [MS-
XLDM]) instead of directly pulling it into workbook. A connection is a model data source if the idbtype
field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.79) record is one of the following (section 2.5.30):
§ DBTOLEDBPP
§ DBTDATAFEED
§ DBTWORKSHEET
§ DBTTEXTPP
2.2.8.9.1 Model Data Source OLE DB Connections
An OLE DB connection is a connection to an OLE DB data provider. An external connection is a

model data source OLE DB connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection
(section 2.4.79) record is DBTOLEDBPP, as specified in section 2.5.30. Properties of a model data
source OLE DB connection are specified by a BrtBeginOledbPr15 record (section 2.4.120) that
MUST follow the BrtBeginExtConn15 record (section 2.4.78). For more information about OLE DB,
see [MSDN-OLEDBP-OI].
164 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.8.9.2 Model Data Source Data Feed Connections
A data feed connection is a connection to an OData data provider. An external connection is a

model data source data feed connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection
record (section 2.4.79) is DBTDATAFEED (section 2.5.30). Properties of a model data source data
feed connection are specified by a BrtBeginDataFeedPr15 record (section 2.4.44) that MUST
follow the BrtBeginExtConn15 record (section 2.4.78). For more information about OData, see
[OData-Protocol].
2.2.8.9.3 Model Data Source Worksheet Connections
A Worksheet data connection pulls data from a workbook range. An external connection is a model
data source worksheet connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section
2.4.79) record is DBTWORKSHEET, as specified in section 2.5.30. Properties of a model data
source worksheet connection are specified by a BrtRangePr15 record (section 2.4.739) that
MUST follow the BrtBeginExtConn15 record (section 2.4.78).
2.2.8.9.4 Model Data Source Text import Connections
A text importation connection pulls in data from a structured text file into the workbook. A model
data source connection is a text importation connection if the idbtype field of the
BrtBeginExtConnection record (section 2.4.79) is DBTTEXTPP (section 2.5.30). Properties of a text
importation connection are specified by a BrtBeginECTxtWiz15 record (section 2.4.69) that MUST
follow the BrtBeginExtConn15 record (section 2.4.78). The BrtBeginECTxtWiz15 record could be
followed by a BrtTextPr15 record (section 2.4.821).
2.2.9 Password Verifier Algorithm
Several protection records BrtBookProtection (section 2.4.306), BrtSheetProtection (section

2.4.769), BrtCsProtection (section 2.4.340), BrtRangeProtection (section 2.4.740),
BrtRangeProectionIso (section 2.4.742), BrtRangeProtectionIso14 (section 2.4.743),
BrtRangeProtection14 (section 2.4.741), and BrtFileSharing (section 2.4.665) use a password
verifier to provide a locking and unlocking system for viewing or editing parts of the workbook. This
password verifier is used to prevent accidental editing, and is not designed to be used as a security
feature. The verifier value is calculated in two stages. First, the provided Unicode password string is
converted to a new character string in the ANSI codepage of the current system using the algorithm
specified in the revisionsPassword attribute in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.2.29. Second,
this string is input into the XOR obfuscation algorithm specified in [MS-OFFCRYPTO] section 2.3.7.1,
Binary Document Password Verifier Derivation Method 1 to produce a 16-bit password verifier value.
See section 4 for information about security concerns related to the use of this algorithm for password
verification in this file format.<4>
2.2.10 Strong Password Verifier Algorithm
Several protection records BrtBookProtectionIso (section 2.4.307), BrtSheetProtectionIso

(section 2.4.770), BrtCsProtectionIso (section 2.4.341), BrtRangeProectionIso (section 2.4.742),
BrtRangeProtection14 (section 2.4.741), and BrtFileSharingIso (section 2.4.666) use a strong
password hash (compatible with ISO/IEC 29500 as described in [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] sections
18.2.12, 18.2.29, 18.3.1.71, 18.3.1.84, and 18.3.1.85) to provide a locking and unlocking system for
viewing or editing parts of the workbook. This password hash is used to prevent accidental editing,
and is not designed to be used as a security feature. Password hashes are usually computed by the
algorithm specified in [MS-OFFCRYPTO] section 2.4.2.4 ISO Write Protection Method. Under some
circumstances, the password is first converted to a 16-bit verifier value as specified by the Password
Verifier Algorithm (section 2.2.9) and reinterpreted as a single Unicode character, which is then
passed to the algorithm specified in [MS-OFFCRYPTO] section 2.4.2.4 ISO Write Protection Method.
165 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
There is no way to determine which method was used to generate a hash without knowledge of the
password; it is necessary to compute both hashes to verify the password.
See section 4 for information about security concerns related to the use of this algorithm for password
verification in this file format.
2.2.11 Encryption (Password to Open)
Workbook files can contain sensitive information that needs to be protected. A file can be protected
by encrypting it using a password. Once a file is encrypted, the data can only be accessed by
decrypting the file using a password.
File encryption for this format is specified in [MS-OFFCRYPTO] section 2.3.4.
See section 4 for information about security concerns relating to file encryption for this file format.
2.2.12 Shared Workbooks
The shared workbook infrastructure is used to enable multiple users to make changes to a
workbook at the same time and track changes made by certain users. A shared workbook contains a
collection of users that currently have the document open and revision logs (section 2.2.12.3) that
contain the changes that users have made to the workbook. Each of these logs has a corresponding
revision header associated with it and contains either zero or more revision records (section 2.2.12.4)
that have been made to the shared workbook since it has been shared. A workbook is a shared
workbook if and only if the user names (section 2.1.7.55) stream exist.
166 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Figure 18: Shared workbooks
The following sections define terms used in the preceding diagram.
2.2.12.1 User Log
The user log contains the set of users who currently have the workbook open. BrtCUsr (section
2.4.342) specifies the number of BrtUsr (section 2.4.829) records that the user log contains. Each
BrtUsr record corresponds to a user that currently has the workbook open. The guid field of BrtUsr
maps to the guid field of BrtRRHeader (section 2.4.757) to specify the latest revision header and
revision logs (section 2.2.12.3) pair that the user is currently synchronized to.
167 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.12.2 Revision Headers Log
The revision header log contains revision headers BrtRRHeader (section 2.4.757) that are used to
provide general information about the revision logs (section 2.2.12.3). A single revision header exists
for each of the revision logs in the workbook and specifies basic information about that particular
revision log. The szRelId field of the BrtRRHeader specifies a relationship identifier for the
corresponding revision log (section 2.2.12.3). Each revision log and revision header specifies a user
action, such as a unique user opening the workbook for the first time, or a set of changes made by a
single user to the shared workbook (section 2.2.12). The user’s name is specified in the stName field
of BrtRRHeader. The Revision Headers (section 2.1.7.43) part ABNF also contains general
information about the shared workbook in BrtInfo (section 2.4.687).
2.2.12.3 Revision Logs
The revision logs contain either various revision records (section 2.2.12.4) that a single user has made
to a shared workbook (section 2.2.12) or no revision records if the revision log is meant to specify a
user action.
2.2.12.4 Revision Records
Revision records specify changes, or revisions, that a single user has made to a shared workbook
(section 2.2.12). The following changes can be recorded by the shared workbook:
§ Inserting or deleting a row or column (1) BrtRRInsDel (section 2.4.758).
§ Moving a cell BrtRRMove (section 2.4.760).
§ Changing a cell BrtRRChgCell (section 2.4.749).
§ Adding or removing a custom view BrtRRUserView (section 2.4.765).
§ Renaming an existing sheet BrtRRRenSheet (section 2.4.762).
§ Inserting a new sheet BrtRRInsertSh (section 2.4.759).
§ Changing a defined name BrtRRDefName (section 2.4.751).
§ Changing a comment BrtRRNote (section 2.4.761).
§ Conflict resolution from previous conflicting changes BrtRRConflict (section 2.4.750).
§ Removing a query table BrtRRTQSIF (section 2.4.764).
§ Changing the format BrtRRFormat (section 2.4.756).
§ Changing the AutoFormat information for a table BrtRRAutoFmt (section 2.4.748).
If a change is a reviewable revision, then it will have a revid field that is greater than or equal to the
revidMin field and less than or equal to the revidMax field from the corresponding revision header to
the revision log (section 2.2.12.3) that this is contained in.
2.2.12.5 Format Revision
This revision corresponds to a change in formatting. In between BrtRRFormat (section 2.4.756) and
BrtRREndFormat (section 2.4.753), a BrtDXF (section 2.4.354) record can appear in between a
BrtBeginDXFs (section 2.4.57) and a BrtEndDXFs (section 2.4.408). This record specifies the new
formatting information associated with this format change.
168 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.12.6 Insertion / Deletion of Rows / Columns Revision
This revision corresponds to an insertion or deletion of a row or column (1). In between

BrtRRInsDel (section 2.4.758) and BrtRREndInsDel (section 2.4.754), any number of
BrtRRFormat (section 2.4.756) and BrtRRChgCell (section 2.4.749) records can appear as well as
the other records associated with them. These records specify the cell and format changes as a result
of inserting or deleting the row or column (1). Immediately following BrtRRInsDel (section 2.4.758),
an undo chain (section 2.2.12.9) can appear.
2.2.12.7 Move Cells Revision
This revision corresponds to moving of a range of cells. In between BrtRRMove (section 2.4.760)
and BrtRREndMove (section 2.4.755), any number of BrtRRFormat (section 2.4.756) and
BrtRRChgCell (section 2.4.749) records can appear as well as the other records associated with
them. These records specify the cell and format changes as a result of moving the range of cells.
Immediately following BrtRRMove, an undo chain (section 2.2.12.9) can appear.
2.2.12.8 Change Cells Revision
This revision corresponds to a change or edit of a cell. In between BrtRRChgCell (section 2.4.749)
and BrtRREndChgCell (section 2.4.752), one or two cell descriptions as well as zero to two BrtDXF
(section 2.4.354) records can appear in between a BrtBeginDXFs (section 2.4.57) and a
BrtEndDXFs (section 2.4.408). The cell descriptions are one of the following records:
§ BrtCellBlank (section 2.4.314)
§ BrtCellRk (section 2.4.322)
§ BrtCellError (section 2.4.316)
§ BrtCellBool (section 2.4.315)
§ BrtCellReal (section 2.4.321)
§ BrtCellSt (section 2.4.325)
§ BrtCellIsst (section 2.4.319)
§ BrtFmlaString (section 2.4.674)
§ BrtFmlaNum (section 2.4.673)
§ BrtFmlaBool (section 2.4.671)
§ BrtFmlaError (section 2.4.672)
If there are two cell descriptions, the first one specifies the old cell value, and the second one
specifies the new cell value. If there is just one cell description, it specifies the new cell value. If
BrtDXF (section 2.4.354) records follow, the first one specifies the old formatting information
associated with the cell and the second one specifies the new formatting information that is associated
with the cell. If only one BrtDXF record appears, the following heuristic can be used to determine if
the formatting information specifies the old or new formatting.
If the fDxf field of BrtRRChgCell (section 2.4.749) is true and fDxfNull is false, then it specifies new
formatting information. If the fOldFmt field of BrtRRChgCell is true and fOldFmtNull is false, then it
specifies old formatting information.
169 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
2.2.12.9 Undo Chain
The undo chain is made up of a group of zero or more BrtUCR (section 2.4.826) records that specify
undo information for the revision that it is associated with.
2.2.12.10 Sort Map
The sort map contains changes to sorting done on the sheet level in a shared workbook (section
2.2.12); each sheet can have a sort map BrtBeginWsSortMap (section 2.4.301) /
BrtEndWsSortMap (section 2.4.648). At a maximum, there are only ever two sorts BrtBeginRRSort
(section 2.4.193) / BrtEndRRSort (section 2.4.541) per sort map, one specifies sheet level sort
changes in rows followed by sheet level sort changes in columns (1). If there are not any changes in
sort for rows or columns (1), the sort map does not exist for rows or columns (1) respectively.
2.2.13 Volatile Dependencies
Volatile dependencies specify information necessary to update cells that depend on values provided by
real-time data (RTD) server or cube functions. A cell has a dependency upon an RTD server if it
contains a formula (section 2.2.2) with a call to the RTD sheet function. A cell has a dependency
upon an cube function if it contains a formula with a call to one of the cube functions.
All volatile dependencies are organized into a hierarchy. The first level of the hierarchy separates
dependencies based on their types. Within each type, dependencies are grouped based on their main
topic. Within a main topic, each particular volatile dependency on this main topic is specified in a
collection.
2.2.13.1 Types
Volatile dependencies are specified in two collections, each specifying all volatile dependency
information relating to a specific type of volatile dependencies. The two types of volatile dependencies
are those relating to RTD servers and those relating to cube functions. Each of these collections is
specified by BrtBeginVolType (section 2.4.297) and BrtEndVolType (section 2.4.644) records, as
defined in the Volatile Dependencies (section 2.1.7.60) part.
2.2.13.2 Main Topic
All volatile dependency information that relates to calls to an RTD or cube function that share the
same first parameter value is grouped together in a collection specified by BrtBeginVolMain (section
2.4.295) and BrtEndVolMain (section 2.4.642) records, as defined in the Volatile Dependencies
2.2.13.3 Subtopic Sequences
All volatile dependency information relating to cells that contain calls to an RTD or cube function
that share the same set of parameter values is specified by a collection of records specified by
BrtBeginVolTopic (section 2.4.296) and BrtEndVolTopic (section 2.4.643) records, as defined in
the Volatile Dependencies (section 2.1.7.60) part.
A volatile dependency collection specifies the following:
 The sequence of subtopics which define the dependency, corresponding to a call’s parameter
values. This is specified by the sequence of BrtVolSubtopic (section 2.4.836) records.
 The last value returned by the call that corresponds to the volatile dependency.
170 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
 The set of cells which depend upon the data specified by this volatile dependency, and need to
be updated whenever the value cached for this dependency changes. This is specified by the
set of BrtVolRef (section 2.4.834) records.
2.2.13.4 Cached returned values
The type of the last value returned by the call that corresponds to a volatile dependency, as well as
the value itself, are specified by the BrtVolNum (section 2.4.833), BrtVolErr (section 2.4.832),
BrtVolBool (section 2.4.831), or BrtVolStr (section 2.4.835) records, as defined in the Volatile
Dependencies (section 2.1.7.60) part ABNF. The value is stored with the volatile dependency until a
different value is returned by the corresponding call.
2.2.14 Slicers
A slicer is a mechanism for filtering data in PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3) and cube functions,
tables and Charts ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 21.2) based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables. A
slicer is based on a column (1) in the source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) and the slicer filters on
distinct values in that column (1). In the case of using OLAP source data, a slicer is based on an
OLAP hierarchy.
A slicer has two major parts, a slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) and a slicer view (section 2.2.14.2).
There can be more than one slicer view based on a single slicer cache. When filtering multi-level OLAP
hierarchies using slicers, separate slicer views are used for each OLAP level.
2.2.14.1 Slicer Cache
A slicer cache specifies the subset of slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) that is cached for display
in slicer views (section 2.2.14.2) as well as properties related to slicer (section 2.2.14) filtering. A
slicer cache is specified by the sequence of records that conform to the SLICERCACHE rule (defined
in section 2.1.7.47).
A slicer cache has an associated PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) as specified in section 2.2.14.1.2, or
Table (section 2.1.7.51).
If the slicer source data is an OLAP data source, the stHierarchy field of the
BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef (section 2.4.202) record specifies the MDX unique name of the associated
OLAP hierarchy.
If the slicer source data is a non-OLAP data source, the stHierarchy field of the
BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef record specifies the associated cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) of the
associated PivotCache.
If the slicer source data is a table data source, the stHierarchy field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef
record specifies the associated table column (1).
If the slicer (section 2.2.14) is used to filter PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3), the slicer cache
specifies the PivotTable views being filtered as specified in section 2.2.14.1.3.
2.2.14.1.1 Slicer Source Data
The source data for a slicer (section 2.2.14) is specified by the associated PivotCache (section
2.2.5.2) or Table (section 2.1.7.51). See section 2.2.14.1.2.
2.2.14.1.2 Slicer Cache Relationship to PivotCache
A slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) is associated with a PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) or Table (section
2.1.7.51). The association is specified by the following rules.
171 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
If a slicer cache contains the sequence of records that conforms to the SLICERCACHEOLAPIMPL rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.47) then the type of slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) is OLAP and the
associated PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) of the slicer cache is specified by the ipivotcacheid field of
the BrtBeginSlicerCacheOlapImpl (section 2.4.208) record of the slicer cache. The associated
PivotCache MUST be an OLAP PivotCache as specified in section 2.2.5.2.1. The fSlicerData field of
the BrtBeginPCD14 (section 2.4.122) record of the associated PivotCache MUST be 1.
If a slicer cache contains the sequence of records that conforms to the SLICERCACHENATIVEITEMS
rule (defined in section 2.1.7.47) then the type of slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) is non-OLAP
and the associated PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) of the slicer cache is specified by the dwcacheId
field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheNative (section 2.4.207) record of the slicer cache. The associated
PivotCache MUST NOT be an OLAP PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) as specified in section 2.2.5.2.1.
If a slicer cache contains the sequence of records that conforms to the TABLESLICERCACHE rule
(defined in section 2.1.7.47) then the type of slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) is table and the
associated Table (section 2.1.7.51) of the slicer cache is specified by the dwLstd field of the
BrtBeginTableSlicerCache (section 2.4.277) record of the slicer cache.
Multiple slicer caches can be associated with one PivotCache.
If a slicer cache is associated (as specified in section 2.2.14.1.3) with one or more PivotTable views
(section 2.2.5.3) and the slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) type is non-OLAP then the slicer
cache and each associated PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), as specified in section 2.2.5.3.1, MUST
be associated with the same PivotCache and the fSlicerData field of the BrtBeginPCD14 record of
that PivotCache MUST be 0.
If a slicer cache is associated (as specified in section 2.2.14.1.3) with one or more PivotTable views
and the slicer source data type is OLAP then the PivotCache that is associated with the slicer cache
and all PivotCaches that are associated with the PivotTable views MUST be based on the same OLAP
connection (section 2.2.8.3.1) and the PivotCaches associated with the PivotTable views MUST NOT
be associated with any slicer cache. The fSlicerData field of the BrtBeginPCD14 record for each
PivotCache associated with the PivotTable views MUST be 0.
2.2.14.1.3 Slicer Cache Relationship to PivotTable View
A slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) can be associated with PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3) and Charts
([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 21.2) based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables. Associated PivotTable
views are specified by the BrtSlicerCachePivotTables (section 2.4.777) record of the slicer cache.
If the associated PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2) of a slicer cache (as specified in section 2.2.14.1.2) is
an OLAP PivotCache, then the slicer items (section 2.2.14.1.4) in the slicer cache are used to apply
OLAP manual filters (section 2.2.5.3.5.2) to the pivot hierarchy (section 2.2.5.3.4) specified by the
stHierarchy field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef (section 2.4.202) record in all associated
PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3) and Charts based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables of the slicer cache.
The selected slicer items (section 2.2.14.1.4) in the slicer cache are converted into OLAP manual
filters by the application to apply the filter state of the slicer cache to the associated PivotTable views.
If the associated PivotCache of a slicer cache (as specified in section 2.2.14.1.2) is a non-OLAP
PivotCache, then the PivotCache of the PivotTable views and the PivotCache of the slicer cache
MUST be the same. If the slicer cache is associated with at least one Chart based on Non-Worksheet
PivotTable then the slicer cache MUST be OLAP sourced.
If the associated PivotCache of a slicer cache (as specified in section 2.2.14.1.2) is a non-OLAP
PivotCache, then the slicer items (section 2.2.14.1.4) in the slicer cache are used to apply non-OLAP
manual filters (section 2.2.5.3.5.1) to the pivot field (section 2.2.5.3.2) specified by the stHierarchy
field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef record in all associated PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3) of the
slicer cache. The selected slicer items in the slicer cache are converted into selected pivot items
(section 2.2.5.3.3) in the non-OLAP manual filters by the application to apply the filter state of the
slicer cache to the associated PivotTable views.
172 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
When an OLAP PivotTable views is associated with a slicer cache, there MUST NOT be more than one
slicer cache for each OLAP hierarchy.
A slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) can be associated with a column (1) in a Table (section 2.1.7.51).
Associated column (1) is specified by the dwColumn field of the BrtBeginTableSlicerCache (section
2.4.277) record of the slicer cache.
2.2.14.1.4 Slicer Items
Slicer items in a slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) represent distinct values in a column (1) of the slicer
source data (section 2.2.14.1.1). In the case of slicers (section 2.2.14) based on OLAP slicer source
data, the slicer cache is based on an OLAP hierarchy and slicer items represent OLAP members
within levels of that OLAP hierarchy.
For slicers that are associated with PivotTable views (section 2.2.5.3), each slicer item specifies
whether slicer source data exists for that slicer item. For more information, see section 2.2.14.1.5.
Each slicer item also specifies item selection state, used for filtering, and can specify additional
properties. For more information see section 2.2.14.1.4.1 and section 2.2.14.1.4.2.
2.2.14.1.4.1 Non-OLAP Slicer Items
The slicer items of a non–OLAP slicer are specified by an ordered sequence of records that conform to
the SLICERCACHENATIVEITEMS rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.47). Each slicer item is associated
with a cache item (section 2.2.5.2.3) of the associated cache field (section 2.2.5.2.2) in the associated
PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2). Also see section 2.2.14.1.2.
The associated cache field is specified by the stHierarchy field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef
(section 2.4.202) record and MUST be equal to the stFldName field of a BrtBeginPCDField (section
2.4.135) record in the collection of cache fields of the associated PivotCache. The associated cache
item is specified by the iCache field of the SlicerCacheNativeItem (section 2.5.135) structure. The
iCache field of the SlicerCacheNativeItem structure specifies a cache item index of the associated
cache item in the associated cache field. Two non–OLAP slicer items MUST NOT be associated with the
same cache item.
The order of non–OLAP slicer items in the slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) is specified by the
fSortOrder, fCrossFilter and fSortUsingCustomLists fields of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheNative
(section 2.4.207) record.
The SlicerCacheNativeItem structure also specifies whether the non–OLAP slicer item is selected for
filtering and if data exists in the slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) for it. Also see section
2.2.14.1.5.
2.2.14.1.4.2 OLAP Slicer Items
OLAP slicer items are specified by the sequence of records that conform to the
SLICERCACHEOLAPIMPL rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.47).
The cache for an OLAP level in an OLAP slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) is specified by the sequence
of records that conform to the SLICERCACHESIRANGES rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.47).
The cache is organized into ranges of cached OLAP slicer items for each OLAP level in the slicer cache.
Each range is specified by the sequence of records that conform to the SLICERCACHESIRANGE rule
(as defined in section 2.1.7.47). The iitemstart field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheSiRange (section
2.4.210) record specifies the zero-based index of the first OLAP slicer item in this cached range in the
ordered collection of all OLAP members that exist in the slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) for
the associated OLAP level. The collection in the slicer source data is ordered as specified by the
fSortOrder and fCrossFilter fields of the preceding BrtBeginSlicerCacheLevelData (section
2.4.205) record.
173 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
Each cached OLAP slicer item in a range is specified by a BrtSlicerCacheOlapItem (section 2.4.776)
record.
The OLAP slicer items that are selected for filtering are specified by the sequence of records that
conform to the SLICERCACHESELECTIONS rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.47).
Each individual OLAP slicer item selected for filtering is specified by a BrtSlicerCacheSelection
2.2.14.1.5 Slicer Cross Filtering
Cross filtering is an application behavior that allows one slicer to reflect the results of filtering by
another. This behavior exposes whether data exists in the slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) for
each slicer item (section 2.2.14.1.4) when the slicer source data is filtered by the selected slicer items
of all associated slicer caches (section 2.2.14.1) of a PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3), as specified in
section 2.2.14.1.3, and all manual filters (section 2.2.5.3.5) in the PivotTable view.
If the type of slicer source data is OLAP then the existence of data, after filtering, for a slicer item is
specified by the fNoData field of the BrtSlicerCacheOlapItem (section 2.4.776) record. If the type
of source data (section 2.2.5.2.1) is non-OLAP then the existence of data for a slicer item is specified
by the fNoData field of the SlicerCacheNativeItem (section 2.5.135) structure contained in the
BrtSlicerCacheNativeItem (section 2.4.775) record.
If the type of slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) is non-OLAP, the fCrossFilter field of the
BrtBeginSlicerCacheNative record as specified by the Slicer Cache (section 2.1.7.47) part ABNF
specifies how the non-OLAP slicer items (section 2.2.14.1.4.1) that have no data are displayed.
If the type of slicer source data is OLAP, the fCrossFilter field of the
BrtBeginSlicerCacheLevelData (section 2.4.205) record as specified by the Slicer Cache (section
2.1.7.47) part ABNF specifies how the OLAP slicer items (section 2.2.14.1.4.2) that have no data are
displayed for the OLAP level specified by the stUniqueName field of the
BrtBeginSlicerCacheLevelData record.
2.2.14.2 Slicer View
A slicer view specifies the display of a slicer (section 2.2.14) on a worksheet. A slicer view is
displayed as a list of slicer items (section 2.2.14.1.4). A slicer view is specified by the sequence of
records that conform to the SLICER rule (as defined in section 2.1.7.48.
Each slicer view is associated with a slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) as specified in section 2.2.14.2.1.
The filtering state of slicer items displayed in the slicer view is specified by the associated slicer cache.
Each slicer view is associated with a drawing ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 20.5), contained in the
drawing part ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 12.3.8) associated with the worksheet with which the
slicer view is associated. The associated drawing ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 20.5) contains a
slicer element of type CT_Slicer ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.68) that contains a name attribute that
matches the stName field of the BrtBeginSlicer (section 2.4.200) record that specifies the slicer
view.
For information about slicer formatting see slicer styles (section 2.2.6.3.1).
2.2.14.2.1 Slicer View Relationship to Slicer Cache
Each slicer view (section 2.2.14.2) is associated with a slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1). The slicer view
is associated with a slicer cache through the stName field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef (section
2.4.202) record in the slicer cache that matches the stSlicerCacheName field of the BrtBeginSlicer
(section 2.4.200) record that specifies this slicer view.
174 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
If a slicer view is associated with an OLAP slicer cache, the slicer view also has an associated OLAP
level, specified by the dwLevel field of the BrtBeginSlicer record. In this case the slicer view
displays OLAP Slicer Items (section 2.2.14.1.4.2) of that OLAP level.
There can be multiple slicer views associated with a single slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1), for the
following two reasons:
§ For a user-defined OLAP hierarchy with several OLAP levels (for example a Geography OLAP
hierarchy with Country/Region, State, and City OLAP levels), each slicer view is associated with a
single OLAP level, providing a mechanism for filtering different OLAP levels of the OLAP hierarchy.
§ Multiple slicer views associated with either the same slicer cache (for a non-OLAP slicer cache) or
the same OLAP level (for an OLAP slicer cache) provides a mechanism for displaying the filter state
in more than one location in the workbook.
2.2.14.3 Slicers and Cube Functions
Each slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) has a defined name associated with it specified by the stName
field of the BrtBeginSlicerCacheDef (section 2.4.202) record. The value of the formula.rgce field of
each BrtName (section 2.4.705) record specifying a defined name associated with a slicer cache
MUST consist of a single PtgErr (section 2.5.97.39) with err equal to 0x2A (#N/A).
If the slicer source data (section 2.2.14.1.1) type of a slicer cache (section 2.2.14.1) is OLAP then
cube functions can use the defined name of the slicer cache as a parameter to refer to selection
state of the slicer cache.
2.2.15 Timelines
A Timeline is a mechanism for filtering data in PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10)

views, cube functions, and Charts ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 21.2) based on Non-Worksheet
PivotTables. In the case of using OLAP Timeline source data (section 2.2.15.1.1), a Timeline is based
on a key attribute of an OLAP hierarchy. In the case of using native Timeline source data (section
2.2.15.1.1), a Timeline is based on data table column.
A Timeline has two major parts a Timeline cache, and a Timeline view. There can be more than one
Timeline view based on a single Timeline cache.
2.2.15.1 Timeline Cache
A Timeline cache specifies the subset of Timeline source data (section 2.2.15.1.1) that is cached
for display in Timeline views (section 2.2.15.2), as well as properties related to Timeline filtering
(section 2.2.15). A Timeline cache is specified by the CT_TimelineCacheDefinition element ([MS-
XLSX] section 2.6.112).
A Timeline cache has an associated PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10)

If the timeline source data is an OLAP data source, the sourceName attribute of the
CT_TimelineCacheDefinition element specifies the key attribute name of the associated OLAP
hierarchy. If the timeline source data is a native data source, the sourceName attribute of the
CT_TimelineCacheDefinition element specifies the name of the associated data table column.
If the timeline is used to filter PivotTable views, the Timeline cache specifies the PivotTable views
being filtered as specified in Timeline Cache Relationship to PivotTable View (section 2.2.15.1.3).
2.2.15.1.1 Timeline Source Data
175 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
The source data for a Timeline is specified by the associated PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016]
section 18.10) PivotCache as specified in Timeline Cache Relationship to PivotCache.
2.2.15.1.2 Timeline Cache Relationship to PivotCache
A Timeline cache is associated with a PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) PivotCache

through the pivotCacheId attribute of the CT_TimelineState ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.116) element.
If the Timeline cache has an associated PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10)
PivotCache, the timelineData attribute of the CT_TimelinePivotCacheDefinition ([MS-XLSX]
section 2.6.109) element MUST be "true".
Multiple Timeline caches can be associated with one PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section
18.10) PivotCache.
If a Timeline cache (section 2.2.15.1) is associated, as specified by Timeline Cache Relationship to

PivotTable View (section 2.2.15.1.3), with one or more PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section
18.10) views, the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) PivotCache that is associated
with the Timeline cache (section 2.2.15.1) and all PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10)
PivotCaches that are associated with the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) views
MUST be based on the same source – an OLAP connection ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.13.5)
if the Timeline source data (section 2.2.15.1.1) is OLAP and a data table if the Timeline source data
(section 2.2.15.1.1) is native, and the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) PivotCaches
associated with the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) views MUST NOT be associated
with any Timeline cache (section 2.2.15.1). The timelineData attribute of the
CT_TimelinePivotCacheDefinition ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.109) element for each PivotTable
([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) PivotCache associated with the PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-
1:2016] section 18.10) views MUST be "false".
2.2.15.1.3 Timeline Cache Relationship to PivotTable View
A Timeline cache can be associated with PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) views and
Charts ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 21.2) based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables, as specified by
the pivotTables group element of the CT_TimelineCacheDefinition ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.112)
element.
If the associated PivotTable PivotCache of a Timeline cache, as specified by the Timeline Cache
Relationship to PivotCache, is an OLAP PivotTable PivotCache, the Timeline State of the Timeline
cache is used to apply PivotTable OLAP date filter to the PivotTable hierarchy which belongs to the
same dimension as the hierarchy associated with the sourceName attribute of the
CT_TimelineState ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.116) element, in all associated PivotTable views and
Charts based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables, of the Timeline cache. The selected date range in the
Timeline cache is converted into selected PivotTable items in the PivotTable OLAP date filters by the
application to apply the filter state of the Timeline cache to the associated PivotTable views and Charts
based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables.
When an OLAP PivotTable view is associated with an OLAP Timeline cache (section 2.2.15.1), there
MUST NOT be more than one Timeline cache (section 2.2.15.1) for each OLAP hierarchy. If the
Timeline cache has at least one Chart based on Non-Worksheet PivotTables then the Timeline cache
MUST be OLAP sourced. When a native PivotTable view is associated with a native Timeline cache,
there MUST NOT be more than one Timeline cache for each data table column.
2.2.15.1.4 Timeline State
Timeline state specifies the information used for display in Timeline view. The Timeline state
contains two elements, selection and bounds, of type CT_TimelineRange ([MS-XLSX] section
2.6.115). The selection element specifies the start and end dates of the selection in the Timeline and
is used for filtering data in PivotTable ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.10) views and cube
176 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
functions. The bounds element specifies the minimum and maximum dates that can be displayed by
the Timeline view.
2.2.15.2 Timeline View
A Timeline view specifies the display of a Timeline on a worksheet. The Timeline view is specified by
a CT_Timeline ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.111) element.
Each Timeline view is associated with a Timeline cache as specified in Timeline View Relationship to
Timeline Cache. The filtering state of Timeline displayed in the Timeline view is specified by the
associated Timeline cache.
Each Timeline view is associated with a drawing ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 20.5), contained in
the Drawings part ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 12.3.8).
2.2.15.2.1 Timeline View Relationship to Timeline Cache
Each Timeline view is associated with a Timeline cache. The Timeline view is associated with Timeline
cache through the name attribute of the CT_TimelineCacheDefinition ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.112)
element in the Timeline cache that matches the cache attribute of the CT_Timeline ([MS-XLSX]
section 2.6.111) element that specifies this Timeline view.
There can be multiple Timeline views associated with a single Timeline cache, providing a mechanism
for displaying the filter state in more than one location in the workbook.
2.2.15.3 Timelines and Cube Functions
Each Timeline cache (section 2.1.7.53) has a defined name associated with it as specified by the
name attribute of the CT_TimelineCacheDefinition ([MS-XLSX] section 2.6.112) element.
The value of the CT_DefinedName ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016] section 18.2.5) element specifying a

defined name associated with a Timeline cache MUST be #N/A.
If the Timeline source data type of a Timeline cache is OLAP, cube functions can use the defined
name of the Timeline cache as a parameter to refer to the selection state of the Timeline cache.
2.3 Record Enumeration
This section specifies the record name associated with a specified record type value<5>. For more
information about record types, see section 2.1.4.
These associations between record name and record type are listed by record name as well as by
record type.
The type-specific meaning and fields for each record type are specified in the subsection of section 2.4

grbitRowMask (4 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies which rows in the block range contain
data. If a row contains data, the bit in grbitRowMask corresponding to the one-based row index
is set to 1. For example grbitRowMask with value 0x00000003 corresponds to a block range
where the first and second rows contain data.
ibBaseOffset (8 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies a 64-bit zero-based index to the cell
record within the Worksheet part ABNF (section 2.1.7.62) or Macro Sheet (section 2.1.7.32)
part for the first cell in the block range which contains data.
arrayColbitMask (variable): An array of 2-byte unsigned integers that specify for every row which
ranges of columns (1) contain data in the sheet. Each item in this array corresponds to a row
543 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
that contains data. The number of items in this array MUST equal the number of bits that are set
in grbitRowMask. The sheet is divided into 16 equal ranges of columns (1). Each column (1)
range is one row by 1024 columns (1) in size. For every row which has a bit set in
grbitRowMask, the bit corresponding to the one-based index to the column (1) range that
contains data in at least one of the cells is set in the corresponding item of arrayColbitMask. For
example, if arrayColbitMask[0] has the value 0x0002, then at least one cell in the first row and
the second column (1) range has data.
arraySubBaseOffset (variable): An array of 4-byte unsigned integers, each of which specifies the
zero-based byte index to the beginning of a cell record within the Worksheet part ABNF (section
2.1.7.62) or Macro Sheet (section 2.1.7.32) part, for all cells that contain data within the block
range when used in the following formula:
ibBaseOffset + arraySubBaseOffset[x]
where x is the index of an item in the arraySubBaseOffset array.
The number of elements in arraySubBaseOffset MUST be equal to the total number of bits set in
arrayColbitMask.
For example, if arrayColbitMask[0] has the value 0x0002, then ibBaseOffset +

arraySubBaseOffset[0] specifies the byte index to the first cell which contains data in the first
row of the block range and is in the second column (1) range.

this cell style is a built-in cell style and grbitObj1.fBuiltIn MUST equal 1. If this value is equal to
1 or 2, the value of iLevel is needed to specify the built-in cell style. For all other values,
iStyBuiltIn is sufficient to identify the built-in cell style. To see a list of all built-in cell styles,
refer to [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016], section 18.8.7.
iLevel (1 byte): An unsigned integer that specifies, in conjunction with iStyBuiltIn, a built-in cell
style. If iStyBuiltIn is equal to 1, the specified built-in cell style is RowLevel_n [ISO/IEC29500-
1:2016], section 18.8.7, where n is an integer equal to the value of iLevel + 1. Similarly, if
iStyBuiltIn is equal to 2, the specified built-in cell style is ColLevel_n [ISO/IEC29500-1:2016],
section 18.8.7. If iStyBuiltIn is equal to 1 or 2, the value of iLevel MUST be between 0 and 6
inclusive. If iStyBuiltIn is equal to any other value, iLevel MUST be ignored.
stName (variable): A CellStyleName (section 2.5.10) which specifies the name of this cell style. If
this cell style is built-in, the name of the cell style is defined by the built-in cell style identified by
iStyBuiltIn and iLevel instead of this value.

unary-expression = val unary-operator
823 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
unary-operator = PtgUPlus / PtgUMinus / PtgPercent
Each Ptg in this definition is a unary operator token.

that comprise the binary-reference-expression.
If mem-ptg is not equal to PtgMemFunc (section 2.5.97.56), then both expression elements in

mem-ptg = PtgMemArea / PtgMemErr / PtgMemNoMem / PtgMemFunc
Each Ptg in this definition is a mem token (section 2.2.2.5).
function-call = if-expression / iferror-expression / choose-expression / [params-fixed] PtgFunc /

params-variable PtgFuncVar / params-cetab PtgFuncVar / expression PtgAttrSum
The params-fixed (section 2.5.97.10) element MUST NOT be specified if PtgFunc specifies a
function that takes no parameters. Otherwise, it MUST conform to the ABNF rule for the function
specified by PtgFunc.

EXPRESSION_SIZE of all Ptgs remaining in the if-expression after that PtgAttrGoTo.
The value of the fCeFunc field of the PtgFuncVar MUST be 0. The value of the tab field of the
PtgFuncVar MUST be 0x0001, which represents the IF function.

number of times the expression in the repeated sequence group appears.
The first offset in the array of offsets in the rgOffset field in the PtgAttrChoose MUST be equal
to four less than the size of the PtgAttrChoose in bytes.
For the nth occurrence of the repeated sequence group, the (n+1) th offset in the array of offsets in
the rgOffset field in the PtgAttrChoose MUST be equal to the EXPRESSION_SIZE of all Ptgs in
the choose-expression after the PtgAttrChoose through the nth PtgAttrGoTo.
The value of the offset field in each PtgAttrGoTo MUST equal one less than the
EXPRESSION_SIZE of all Ptgs remaining in the choose-expression after that PtgAttrGoTo.
The value of the fCeFunc field of the PtgFuncVar MUST be 0. The value of the tab field of the
PtgFuncVar MUST be 0x0064, which represents the CHOOSE function.
val = expression
Additional restrictions are specified under VALUE_TYPE. The params-fixed, params-variable

(section 2.5.97.10), and params-cetab (section 2.5.97.5) rules also use val.
ref = expression
Additional restrictions are specified under VALUE_TYPE. The params-fixed, params-variable,

and params-cetab rules also use ref.
Additional restrictions on the contents of this structure are specified in terms of a parse tree. For this
purpose, a parse tree is a means of organizing the components of an Rgce. Each node in the parse
tree represents a Ptg or an ABNF rule described earlier. Non-leaf nodes represent rules and have one
child node for each element in the rule. Leaf nodes represent only a Ptg.
For a leaf node in the parse tree, NESTING_DEPTH is the number of function-call nodes in the path
from the root node to that leaf.
For a node in the parse tree, OPERAND_COUNT is as follows:
§ The OPERAND_COUNT of each Ptg appearing in the operand rule definition is one.
§ The OPERAND_COUNT of all other Ptgs is 0.
§ The OPERAND_COUNT of a node that has n child nodes with nonzero OPERAND_COUNT is equal to
the maximum, across all the n child nodes, of (n-1) plus the OPERAND_COUNT of the n th child that
has nonzero OPERAND_COUNT.
825 / 1092
[MS-XLSB] - v20220517
For a node in the parse tree, VALUE_TYPE is a state indicating that the node represents a single value
of a simple type or an array of such values. A node that is not a VALUE_TYPE represents a reference
to a range. Elements in an expression MUST represent either values or references, based on the
specific Ptgs used in the expression. The following rules specify how to traverse the parse tree from
the bottom up and determine whether each node is a VALUE_TYPE, which determines whether the
sequence of Ptg structures comprising the formula (section 2.2.2) correctly satisfies the requirements
of each expression in the formula. A node is determined to be a VALUE_TYPE as follows:
§ Leaf nodes:
§ PtgMissArg (section 2.5.97.58), PtgStr (section 2.5.97.74), PtgSxName (section

2.5.97.76), PtgErr (section 2.5.97.39), PtgBool (section 2.5.97.34), PtgInt (section

and PtgNe leaf nodes are VALUE_TYPEs.
§ PtgName (section 2.5.97.60), PtgRef (section 2.5.97.68), PtgArea (section 2.5.97.18),

PtgRefN (section 2.5.97.72), PtgAreaN (section 2.5.97.22), PtgNameX (section 2.5.97.61),

nodes are VALUE_TYPEs if and only if the value of the type field is value or array.
§ PtgList leaf nodes are VALUE_TYPEs if and only if the type field equals 1.
§ All other leaf nodes are not VALUE_TYPEs.
§ Non-leaf nodes:
§ Any non-leaf node with a single child node MUST be a VALUE_TYPE if and only if the child node
is a VALUE_TYPE.
§ Any non-leaf node with a mem-ptg, unary-operator, binary-value-operator, binary-reference-

operator, PtgAttrSum (section 2.5.97.33), PtgFunc or PtgFuncVar child node is a
VALUE_TYPE if and only if that child node is a VALUE_TYPE. Other child nodes are ignored for
the purposes of determining whether the non-leaf node is a VALUE_TYPE.
§ Any non-leaf node corresponding to a val rule MUST be a VALUE_TYPE.
§ Any non-leaf node corresponding to a ref rule MUST NOT be a VALUE_TYPE.
§ Otherwise, a non-leaf node with an expression child node is a VALUE_TYPE if and only if that
expression child node is a VALUE_TYPE.
A parse tree for an Rgce MUST meet the following conditions:
§ The NESTING_DEPTH of each leaf node MUST NOT exceed 65.
§ The OPERAND_COUNT of the root node MUST NOT exceed 1024.

3 Structure Examples
This section contains examples of some of the most commonly used data structures in Excel Binary
File Format files. The examples are meant to be a starting point for an implementer learning the file
format. They are not meant to cover all records in the file format.
The following conventions are followed for all of the examples, unless noted otherwise:
§ The order of the records, structures, and field within the example match their corresponding order
in the file format.
§ The examples begin with the first record relevant to the example and end with the last record
relevant to the example. An example cannot be used as a complete and standalone MS-XLSB file.
§ The examples are self-contained and contiguous; no records or structures are omitted in the
middle of an example.
§ Undefined and ignored fields are not included in the field explanations.
§ Offsets for records and structures are omitted because these values can vary depending on how
the files are created and what optional records applications choose to include in files.
3.1 Conditional Formatting
In this example, cell A2 has had conditional formatting applied such that the cell displays a light
red background when the cell value is greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 2.5, as
illustrated in the following figure.

BrtEndConditionalFormatting (section 2.4.385) records.
The range of cells to which the formatting is applied is defined in the

BrtBeginConditionalFormatting record. Then, a BrtBeginCFRule (section 2.4.22) record specifies
the properties of the conditional formatting rule; it contains a BrtBeginCFRule record that defines the
conditional formatting rule.

3.8 PivotTable
This example shows a PivotTable (section 2.1.7.40) and its associated PivotCache (section 2.2.5.2).
The PivotTable uses a range of cells (A1:E45) in the "Source Data" sheet as its source data
(section 2.2.5.2.1). The "CustomerName" and "ProductName" fields have been added to the row
area, "Quantity" to the data area (section 2.2.5.3.8.1.4), and "OrderDate" to the page area (section
2.2.5.3.8.1.3) of this PivotTable view (section 2.2.5.3). The "OrderDate" field has two dates selected
in the filter (12/23/1997 and 12/26/1997) and the rest have been filtered out.
The following figure illustrates the PivotTable (section 2.1.7.40) discussed in this example.
Figure 27: PivotTable example
This example covers PivotTable records that are members of the Workbook (section 2.1.7.61),
PivotCache Definition (section 2.1.7.38), PivotCache Records (section 2.1.7.39), and PivotTable

4 Security Considerations
The password verifier features available in the file format (see section 2.2.9 and section 2.2.10) are
used to prevent accidental modification, rather than being used as security features. It is possible to
remove the passwords by removing the records containing the verifier values.
The translation of passwords from a double-byte Unicode string to a new character string in the ANSI
codepage of the current system converts any Unicode character that cannot be mapped to the ANSI
codepage of the current system to the 0x3F character in that codepage ([ISO/IEC29500-1:2016],
section 18.2.29). Replacing these characters with 0x3F when the hash is verified will generate
positive hash value matches. In certain locales this can be a significant portion of the everyday
character set.
Further security considerations regarding the file encryption algorithms (section 2.2.11) are described
in [MS-OFFCRYPTO] section 4.1.3.
