How to reset the OlapChart to initial state in WPF?

This article explains how to reset a Syncfusion WPF OLAP Chart to its initial state at runtime. By clearing the Series, Categorical, and Slicer elements from the OLAP report and rebinding the data, you can restore the chart to its default configuration.

This approach is useful when you need to discard user-applied filters, drill-downs, or dynamic changes and return the chart to its original view.

Follow these steps to reset the WPF OLAP Chart at runtime:

Step 1: Handle the Reset Button Click Event
Create a button in the UI and handle its Click event. Within this event, clear the OLAP report elements and rebind the chart. For more information, refer this getting started documentation

Step 2: Clear OLAP Report Elements and Rebind the Chart

private void Button_Reset_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager.CurrentReport.SeriesElements.Clear();
   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager.CurrentReport.CategoricalElements.Clear();
   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager.CurrentReport.SlicerElements.Clear();
   this.olapChart.DataBind();
} 

Private Sub Button_Reset_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager.CurrentReport.SeriesElements.Clear()
   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager.CurrentReport.CategoricalElements.Clear()
   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager.CurrentReport.SlicerElements.Clear()
