You have two options: - change the script in the column behavior for the column you want to display a sum. - or define a default column behavior for the datagrid If you choose the first option, change your script with a code like this: on FillInData pData local tTheIndex put the dgIndex of me into tTheIndex put sumOfColumn(tTheIndex,Col2,Col3) into pData set the text of the long id of me to pData end FillInData function sumOfColumn pTheIndex local tTheSum put 0 into tTheSum repeat with x = 2 to the paramcount add GetDataOfIndex(pTheIndex,param(x)) to tTheSum end repeat return tTheSum end sumOfColumn If you prefer the second solution, you're welcome to download and use the code of the sample stack I proposed in my first reply ;) Regards, -- -Zryip TheSlug- wish you the best! 8) http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: (data grid) is there a good workaround for obtaining other column values in FillInData for a Data Grid Table?
Also, if the displayed values is all you care about, then can't you only do calculations for the displayed data as opposed to the entire dataset? Obviously this will not work if you want to extract the entire data set and work with it later.

(data grid) is there a good workaround for obtaining other column values in FillInData for a Data Grid Table?
Not sure what the source of your data is but if it's coming from a database, maybe you could have the db do the calculation for you when it retrieves the data. I'm using sqlite and have found it to be lightning fast at calculations while retrieving data, so maybe something like SELECT columnA + columnB as Total, columnA, columnB FROM ,tablename Pete Haworth On Aug 18, 2010, at 9:25 AM, use-revolution-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: Message: 12 Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:15:40 -0700 From: Josh Mellicker j...@dvcreators.net Subject: (data grid) is there a good workaround for obtaining other column values in FillInData for a Data Grid Table?

Re: (data grid) is there a good workaround for obtaining other column values in FillInData for a Data Grid Table?
It goes in a custom behavior script for the column you want the sum to appear in. To do a quicky test, create a stack, add a grid, in the inspector create columns Sum, Col 2 and Col 3 While on the columns screen in the inspector, at the bottom click the plus to add a custom behavior. It will open up a template for that column, click the now enabled behavior button and change the fillNData section to contain put the dgIndex of me into theIndex set the text of field 1 of me to (GetDataOfIndex(theIndex, Col 2) + GetDataOfIndex(theIndex, Col 3)) instead of the line to set it to pData save the script, save the stack, close the template editor. Shove some data in for col 2 and col 3, and when it hits the Sum col during fill should do the calculation and fill the data in.

Let's say you had a data grid table with three columns, and you wanted the first column to be the sum of the other two, like this: 10 7 3 5 2 3 7 4 3 How would you calculate the first column while the table is filling in? --- Originally, we looped through the data and did the calculations, then put the data into the data grid.
