JavaScript/jQuery DataGrid - summary.totalItems

Specifies items of the total summary.

Default Value: undefined

The total summary, which is located in the grid footer, provides a synopsis of all data contained in the grid. It contains several summary items. Each item displays a value that is a product of applying an aggregate function to the data of a specific column.

To specify the items of the total summary, declare an array of objects, each of which contains at least two fields: column and summaryType. The column field specifies the identifier of the column that provides data for an aggregate function. The summaryType specifies the aggregate function to be applied. The following code snippet shows how to declare two summary items.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function () {
    $("#dataGridContainer").dxDataGrid({
        // ...
        summary: {
            totalItems: [{
                column: "Age",
                summaryType: "avg"
            }, {
                column: "LastName",
                summaryType: "count"
            }]
        }
    });
