aggregate text over two or more columns

[baderaParticipant]

Dear jqWidget Team

I have a table with multiple columns. I like to display some aggregates on the last few columns (on the right half of the table).
I also like to display how many rows we have in the table together with a text e.g. ‘Total number of entries: xx’ (on the left half of the table).
But the problem is that none of the columns on the left half is wide enough to fit this ‘Total number of entries: xx’ aggregate text under just one column. How can I span the custom aggregated text over two ore more columns? Or how can I achieve what I need?
I hope the situation is clear and we can do something!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello badera,

You can create a custom statusbar where you can position the aggregated data however you like. Use the method getcolumnaggregateddata to get the aggregates you need.

Thank you, Dimitar, for your response.
Well, if I do it with a custom statusbar, the problem is that I lose the visual column context for the columns I really want to keep the correct alignement of the displayed aggregates. I like e.g. to display a calculated sum exactly below the column. And even if the column is reordered or resized, I like to have the sum below. I think this is not possible with your proposition?

You are correct in your supposition.
