PivotCustomSummaryEventArgs.CustomValue Property

Gets or sets a custom summary value.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.v20.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Wpf.PivotGrid, DevExpress.Wpf.PivotGrid

Declaration

C#

public object CustomValue { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property CustomValue As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	An object which represents a custom summary value.

Remarks

Use the CustomValue property to assign a custom summary value. This value is then formatted according to the format settings specified by the corresponding data field and displayed within the current cell.

Example

This example demonstrates how to count distinct values (the number of orders with equal product quantities) and display the result in the pivot grid.

This example handles the CustomSummary event that occurs when the control calculates a summary for a field whose SummaryType is PivotSummaryType.Custom. The event handler calls the e.CreateDrillDownDataSource method to retrieve the underlying data rows for the current cell, counts distinct values and returns the result to the e.CustomValue property.

Note

The complete sample project How to Create a Custom Summary Type to Display the Distinct Value Count is available in the DevExpress Examples repository.
