Is it possible to have multiple summary rows in a single band. I have data like below and need to show Summaries as Subtotal for each unique ColA value. Is it possible to show as below without manupulating data in underlying datasource.
Thank you
ColA ColB Col C
1 a 2 1 b 51 c 3
SubTotal 10
2 x 12 z 2
SubTotal 3
3 i 43 j 103 k 43 i 5 Subtotal 23
What you can do is apply a summary to Col C, then use the OutlookGroupBy feature of the grid and group by Col A.
Set grid.DisplayLayout.ViewStyleBand to OutlookGroupBy. Then use the SortedColumns.Add method on the Band to sort column A and specifiy true for groupBy.
Thanks for quick reply. I did the samething. But that visually changes a lot. I need this first row to appear as normal first column or atmost column with merged cellstyle but definitely not as a separate band. I tried setting GroupByColumnsHidden = DefaultableBoolean.False but could not figure out how to get rid of GroupByRows. Also this ColA is not necessarily the first column, it could be any column in the table.
please advice.Thank youbhavani
Hi Bhavani,
You can't get rid of or hide the GroupByRows without hiding the actual rows, too. So there's no way to do that. If you want the summaries broken up by groups, then you have to use group by rows.
Hi Mike,
I have somewhat of a related question:
I have two grids: a) Shows all original values with a summary row b) Shows all new values with a summary row
Is there a way to add another summary row to grid b to show the variance between the grids (grid a summary row minus grid b summary row) ?

Thanks!~Kelly
Yes, there are two ways you can do this.
The easier way, in my opinion, would be to use a Formula summary. You would need to add an UltraCalcManager component to the form (if you dn't already have one), and then make sure that each of your summaries in each grid has a Key assigned. Then you could write a formula to subtract the value in one summary from the other.
The most complicated way would be to use a custom summary. This means writing an ICustomSummaryCalculator class and doing the calculation in code. Actually... now that I think about it, it's not all that complicated. But I think the formula is probably less work. :)
Hi Mike!
Is this a good place to start: Using WinCalcManager to Create a Calculated Summary in WinGrid
Thanks again for your help!~Kelly
I finally got through reading some of the documentation and doing some sample projects for the calc manager.
In the two grids, each column summary in the summary row is named as follows: Month#Count (where # ranges from 1-18). So how to I go about referencing those summaries in the formula of the calc manager?
Since I want the difference of the two summary rows to show up in the second grid, do I add another summary for each of the 18 month columns?, i.e.
With GridName.DisplayLayout.Bands(0) .Summaries.Add("Month1Variance") With .Summaries.Add("Month1Variance") .Formula = ? <--no clue on this one, maybe "[Grid2.Summaries("Month#Count")] - [Grid1.Summaries("Month#Count")]" ??? .SummaryPositionColumn = GridName.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("1") .SummaryPosition = SummaryPosition.UseSummaryPositionColumn End WithEnd With
Your help or reference to an example would be most appreciated!~Kelly
Update:
This is what I have for the formula, but I get a #REF! error since I do not know how to reference the correct summary in the other grid:
With UltraGridName.DisplayLayout.Bands(0) .Summaries.Add(MonthCounter.ToString & " Variance", SummaryType.Formula) With .Summaries(MonthCounter.ToString & " Variance") .Formula = "[Month1Count()] - [//OrigDemandGrid/Bands/0/Month1Count()]" .SummaryPositionColumn = UltraGridName.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("1") .SummaryPosition = SummaryPosition.UseSummaryPositionColumn End WithEnd With
Hi Kelly,
Sorry, this turns out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it would be.
I'm attaching a small sample project here to demonstrate.
It looks like summaries in the grid don't use their keys as the reference names. I'm not sure why this is, but it's probably so that column keys and summary keys are always unique.
It also appears that there is a bug when you try to use a summary reference in a formula in another grid. It raises a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. Feel free to Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support regarding this bug and include my sample project if you like.
So it looks like the only way this will work right now is if you will re-include the original formula in the second formula. This is not very efficient, but it's the only way I cound find to get it to work.
