Remarks

Important

This member is not supported in Optimized, OLAP, and Server modes. Use ExpressionDataBinding for Optimized mode instead.

The CustomSummary event is raised when the PivotGridControl calculates its data for display. The CustomSummary event occurs for each cell that displays the value of the field whose PivotGridField.SummaryType property is set to FieldSummaryType.Custom.

In the event handler you can use the PivotCustomSummaryEventArgs.CreateDrillDownDataSource method to get a list of the records that is the data summarized in the current cell. You can process the data to calculate a custom summary and assign the result to the PivotCustomSummaryEventArgs.CustomValue property.

The PivotGridControl calculates all the predefined summaries (Average, Min, Max, Sum, etc) for each cell. You can access the calculated values using the PivotCustomSummaryEventArgs.SummaryValue property and use them in custom summary calculations.

The CustomSummary event occurs when the control layout is not ready yet. It means that other cells, columns and rows are not accessible.

Tip

To include other cells in a custom cell value calculation, handle the PivotGridControl.CustomCellValue event.
