The 'PivotDataGroup' class represents one row or column heading in a pivot table. Data groups exist in a hierarchy and have a parent-child relationship, i.e. each 'PivotDataGroup' instance can have one or more child data groups.
R6Class object.
instanceIdAn integer value that uniquely identifies this group. NB: This number is guaranteed to be unique within the pivot table, but the method of generation of the values may change in future, so you are advised not to base any logic on specific values.
rowOrColumnEither "row" or "column"
parentGroupThe parent 'PivotDataGroup' instance that this 'PivotDataGroup' instance belongs to.
childGroupsA list of 'PivotDataGroup' objects that are the children of this data group.
childGroupCountA count of 'PivotDataGroup' objects that are the children of this data group.
leafGroupsA list of 'PivotDataGroup' objects that are leaf-level descendants of this data group.
levelNumberAn integer value specifying the level number where this data group exists in the hierarchy.
filtersA 'PivotFilters' object containing the filters associated with this data group.
variableNameA character value that specifies the name of the variable in the data frame that this group relates to and will filter.
valuesA vector that specifies the filter values applied to 'variableName' to select the data to match this row/column in the pivot table.
calculationGroupNameFor calculation groups, this character value specifies the calculation group that 'calculationName' belongs to.
calculationNameFor calculation groups, this character value specifies the name of the calculation.

isTotal'TRUE' if this data group is a total.
isLevelSubTotal'TRUE' if this data group is a sub-total.

There are broadly three different ways to call 'addDataGroups()':
(1) dataName=name, fromData=TRUE, onlyCombinationsThatExist=TRUE - which
considers the ancestors of each existing data group to generate only those
combinations of values that exist in the data frame.
(2) dataName=name, fromData=TRUE, onlyCombinationsThatExist=FALSE - which
ignores the ancestors of each existing data group and simply adds every
distinct value of the specified variable under every existing data group,
which can result in combinations of values in the pivot table that don't
exist in the data frame (i.e. blank rows/columns in the pivot table).
(3) fromData=FALSE, explicitListOfValues=list(...) - simply adds every
value from the specified list under every existing data group.

values, multiple variable-value combinations are effectively
logical "AND". A child group is viewed as having the variable-value
filters of itself and it's parent/ancestors, e.g.
