A renderer can span multiple columns. In the following example, you
create a renderer that spans two columns:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Region"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Territory_Rep"
headerText="Territory Rep"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id="actCol" dataField="Actual"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Estimate"/>
</mx:columns>
<mx:rendererProviders>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider
column="{actCol}"
depth="3"
columnSpan="2"
renderer="myComponents.SummaryRenderer"/>
</mx:rendererProviders>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
