We are happy to announce that in our Essential Studio® 2019 Volume 4 release, we added summary calculation support for selected rows in the WPF DataGrid control. This blog provides a walk-through of how to calculate summaries for selected rows and how to use the available options.
The DataGrid allows users to calculate summaries for:
- Selected rows.
- All rows.
- All rows until rows are selected.
The SummaryCalculationUnit enumeration is used to perform these operations.
To calculate a summary of selected rows in the DataGrid, set the SfDataGrid.SummaryCalculationUnit property to SelectedRows.
In the following example, a summary is calculated for group caption summary rows. This summary calculation support is also applicable for both group and table summary rows.
<syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="sfDataGrid"
AllowFrozenGroupHeaders="True"
AutoExpandGroups="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
ColumnSizer="Auto"
SummaryCalculationUnit="SelectedRows"
ItemsSource="{Binding YearlySalesDetails}"
ShowColumnWhenGrouped="False"
SelectionMode="Multiple">
A summary row can also be considered while calculating the summary.
<syncfusion:SfDataGrid.GroupSummaryRows>
<syncfusion:GridSummaryRow Title="Total Sales in Year for selected products: {YearSales}" CalculationUnit="SelectedRows" ShowSummaryInRow="True">
<syncfusion:GridSummaryRow.SummaryColumns>
<syncfusion:GridSummaryColumn Name="YearSales"
Format="'{Sum:c}'"
MappingName="Total"
SummaryType="DoubleAggregate" />
<syncfusion:GridSummaryColumn Name="ProductCount"
Format="'{Count:d}'"
MappingName="Name"
SummaryType="CountAggregate" />
</syncfusion:GridSummaryRow.SummaryColumns>
</syncfusion:GridSummaryRow>
</syncfusion:SfDataGrid.GroupSummaryRows>
Here, let’s use the value for the property SummaryCalculationUnit of DataGrid to calculate a summary of the selected rows; otherwise, the summary for all rows will be calculated.
I hope you now understand this feature and how to calculate summaries for selected rows in the WPF DataGrid. You can download a demo of calculating summaries for selected rows from our GitHub samples. To learn more about the summaries in the Syncfusion DataGrid, please refer to our documentation.
