I would like to combine a multi-column grid with summaries, but cannot seem to find anything in the documentation about using the two together. When I implement it the summary button only appears for any non-multi-column columns. Is it not supported?
Hello Peter,
Thank you for posting in our forum.
Currently the multicolumn header feature does not have integration with the Summaries feature.
For details on which features have integrations with the igGridMultiColumnHeaders you can refer to the following page from our documentation:
https://www.igniteui.com/help/14.1/iggrid-multicolumnheaders-multicolumnheaders
Under the “Other features integration reference” section.
If you’d like in the future the summaries to be integrated with the column headers so that a summary could be applied to the whole group, not only for the individual columns, please log this as a new product idea so that I may be considered for implementation in the future.
You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <ideas.infragistics.com>.
Steps to create your idea:
1. Log into the Infragistics Product Ideas site at https://www.infragistics.com/community/ideas (creating a new login if needed).
2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:

Maya,
I'm actually looking for the summary to apply to the individual columns values, not the "grouped" values. Is that not supported? I'm not able to get it to work.
I actually found the answer myself - some of my columns used spaces in the key name. This also prevented column sorting from working. I removed the spaces and now the summaries are working as expected.
