OpenXML / EPPlus - Create PivotCache in .Net

Question

I'm hoping this could help me, at least, answer one of the 2 questions I asked here, but I am looking how to create a PivotCache in EPPlus / OpenXML and can't find anything online / in their documentation that shows how to do it.

So, suposing I have one Excel sheet, wksRawData created in EPPlus and I want to create a second sheet with a pivot table based upon the pivot cache of wksRawData.Cells(wksRawData.Dimension.Address) - In the hopes that then I could delete wksRawData but still keep the pivot table. How would I do that?

So far, my code for creating the pivot table in my second worksheet is:

  Dim wksRawData As ExcelWorksheet = wbk.Worksheets("Raw Data")
  Dim wksPvtTbl As ExcelWorksheet = wbk.Worksheets("PivotTbl")


 ' Insert the Pivot Table to the sheet
 Dim DataRange As ExcelRange = wksRawData.Cells(wksRawData.Dimension.Address)

 Dim pvtTable As OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.ExcelPivotTable = wksPvtTbl.PivotTables.Add(wksPvtTbl.Cells("B4"), DataRange, "MyPivotTable")

 pvtTable.Compact = True
 pvtTable.CompactData = True
 pvtTable.Outline = True
 pvtTable.OutlineData = True
 pvtTable.ShowHeaders = True
 pvtTable.UseAutoFormatting = True
 pvtTable.ApplyWidthHeightFormats = True
 pvtTable.ShowDrill = True
 pvtTable.RowHeaderCaption = "Caption"

 ' Set the top field
 Dim r1 As OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.ExcelPivotTableField = pvtTable.Fields("FirstField")
 r1.Sort = OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.eSortType.Ascending
 pvtTable.RowFields.Add(r1)

 ' Set the second field
 Dim r2 As OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.ExcelPivotTableField = pvtTable.Fields("SecondField")
 r2.Sort = OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.eSortType.Ascending
 pvtTable.RowFields.Add(r2)
 r2.ShowAll = False

 ' Set the DataField
 Dim df1 As OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.ExcelPivotTableField = pvtTable.Fields("DataField")
 df1.SubTotalFunctions = OfficeOpenXml.Table.PivotTable.eSubTotalFunctions.Sum
 pvtTable.DataFields.Add(df1)

PLEASE, any and all help on this or the other question would REALLY be appreciated - Whether it be in C# or VB, EPPlus or OpenXML - I just need to get this working!!!

THANKS!

I belive you want to add data from another sheet. My post in your other thread shows full code EPPlus Pivot Table - Collapse entire field

var pt = wsPivot1.PivotTables.Add(wsPivot1.Cells["A1"], ws.Cells["K1:N11"], "Pivottable1");

calling "PivoTables.Add()" see tool tip below.
