Summaries

Summaries are grid items that utilize aggregate functions to display summary information about displayed data: total record count, minimum values, etc.

 

Summary Types

Total summaries Grid summary items are calculated over all Data Grid records and displayed within a view footer.

Group summaries Grid summary items are calculated over individual groups and displayed either in a group footer area or within group rows.

Sort Groups by Summary Values

When the Data Grid displays group summaries, you can right-click a column header in a group panel and select "Sort by Summary". By doing so, you can sort groups by any group summary item, associated with any Data Grid column. When sorting by summaries is active, a dash is painted above the regular ascending/descending sort indicator in column headers.
