I haven't seen a really simple way and it is not natively supported by the datagrid component. You may want to check out the advanced data grid, which I haven't used and I'm sure others can comment on.
I ended up writing a custom component which has two data grids, one containing the data and another which has one row which contains the totals of the selected rows. It was a reasonable amount of work to get it going, especially as this method of implementation comes with problems like the column widths having to be managed on the total grid. Other issues which I had and you may or may not want to consider are: - is your total a straightforward sum of the values? I was adding up percentages in one column, so I needed some different rules for summation, e.g. Average. - do you have ratios and therefore the post-aggregation division problem? Often the total for a ratio is sum(A)/sum(B) rather than sum(A/B). Sometimes A or B are not columns in the grid. This gives some complexity to calculating the totals. - is there any formatting involved in any of your values, e.g. currencies? - if there are multiple currencies in the table how do you sum their values? It did take me a couple of days to get the component working as I wanted, but I now use it everywhere and it is a very valuable feature. I thought about asking Adobe for help, but the reality is that there is enough which is specific to my application that I would be very surprised if a generic solution was desirable. If enough people ask I will publish my TotalGrid.
