# PivotDataSource Overview

The PivotDataSource extends the [DataSource component]({% slug overview_datasource %}).

It communicates with an [OLAP cube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLAP_cube) instance on HTTP by using the [XMLA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_for_Analysis) protocol.

The following example demonstrates how to bind the PivotGrid to the PivotDataSource.

{% meta height:660 %}
{% embed_file pivot-datasource/main.vue preview %}
{% embed_file pivot-datasource/main.js %}
{% endmeta %}
