Aug 28, 2023
2 minutes to read

The following example shows how to add unbound fields to the ASPxPivotGrid.

The ‘DiscountAmount’ unbound field’s values are calculated using the PivotGridFieldBase.UnboundExpression property, while the ‘PriceWithDiscount’ unbound field is populated by handling the ASPxPivotGrid.CustomUnboundFieldData event.
