Hi,

Yes I am talking about a summary on the Root band only

I also have Child band but I dont summaries them and this work

My Root band is also summaries.

My goal is to summary all columns but only the first row of the Band root  but in each root band we have 2 rows

and actualy all rows are summaries which is the defaut behavior.

I have a invisible columns LineType that indicate me if the actual row is the first or second row

So if the invisible columns LineType=1 then summarise the values

 LineType  ColumnsA   ColumnsB

          1            10              20

          2             5               11

Summary         10                20   <== (This is what i would like to have as a result)

Actualy I have   15                31  <== (This is what i have as a result)

Is there a way or a condition in a formula that I can  summaries only the linetype 1?

Thanks in advance! :)

 Okay... I am pretty sure you can do this. I forget the synatax, exactly, but try this:

"[ColumnsA(0)]"

or maybe:

"[\\gridName\Band Name(0)\ColumnsA]"

Hi again,

I try your suggestion but no total appears in the summary row.

May be there is something wrong or that i dont understand.

The first scenario is when I use the formula with out the UltraCalcManager

Dim strFormula As String

gridGestionProjetExecution.DisplayLayout.Bands(BAND_NAME_ROOT).Summaries(i.ToString).DisplayFormat = "{0}"

'strFormula = "[\\gridGestionProjetExecution\" + BAND_NAME_ROOT + "(0)\" + i.ToString & "]"

'strFormula = "[//gridGestionProjetExecution/" + BAND_NAME_ROOT + "(0)/" + i.ToString & "]"

'strFormula = "[//gridGestionProjetExecution/" + BAND_NAME_ROOT + "/" + i.ToString & "(0)]"

strFormula = "[\\gridGestionProjetExecution\" + BAND_NAME_ROOT + "\" + i.ToString & "(0)]"

Next

The second Scenario is with the  UltraCalcManager

Do you have an idea of the problem ?

Do I have to use the UltraCalcManager?

Thanks in advance

 Well, it's hard for me to suggest any ways you might optimize the sumaries, since you didn't include the code for your CustomSummaryCalcuator here. 

UltraCalcManager summaries are calculated asynchronously (by default), so you might get more responsive UI using CalcManager instead. 

Hi Mike,

I finaly obtain the result I want with the CustomSummaryCalculator

The problem I got now is that when I change a value in my grid it took around 20 second to update all the summary columns

This is the way I use the CustomSummaryCalculator and I implement the CTotalSummaryWithOutPoTerms class with the condition I want in it

Is there something I can do to optimise the calculation?

I dont use any CalcManager . Is that the raison of my problem?

For i As Integer = 1 To NumberOfcolumnToShow

   myBand.Summaries.Add(i.ToString, SummaryType.Custom, New CTotalSummaryWithOutPoTerms(i.ToString), myBand.Columns(i.ToString), SummaryPosition.UseSummaryPositionColumn, Nothing)

   myBand.Summaries(i.ToString).SummaryDisplayArea = SummaryDisplayAreas.BottomFixed

   myBand.Summaries(i.ToString).DisplayFormat = "{0}"

   myBand.Summaries(i.ToString).Appearance.TextHAlign = HAlign.Right

Next

End Sub

Thanks in advance

Forgive me for jumping into you guys' conversation.

So I am trying to use my CustomSummaryCalculator to do the calculations. How can I get the rows that only belong to that group then? Is there like a property that I can use to get the group number or something in the BeforeSummaryDialog event handler?

Thanks!!

I found the solution. Event BeginCustomSummary actually give me all the rows belong to the the same group.

Thank you anyways.

Okay, that's a different story.

There are several ways to do this. 

1) If you group by the LineType column, then the summaries will be broken up automatically into each group. 

2)You could add an unbound column to the for each LineType and set the Formula of that column to use an 'if' function. Basically, the unbound column's formula would be something like this: 

if (  [LineType] = 1, [ColumnsA], 0 )

Then you could sum this unbound column to get the sum of everything in ColumnsA where LineType is 1. 

3) You could use a CustomSummaryCalculator and do the calculations yourself.
