Is there a way to create a Grid component where the first column has rows that are static/hard coded. i.e. in the same way that a table in excel would work with different cells on the left hand side then values across to the right for each column?

Hi, Pablo,

You can achieve the desired result by Implementing a static first column by adding an unbound GridColumn (no field) that uses a custom data cell (RowHeaderCell) to inject hard‑coded labels based on the visual row index. The underlying data stays untouched; the labels are kept in a separate rowHeaderLabels array. The first column could be locked so it remains visible on horizontal scroll and excluded from the managed columnsState, while sorting/filtering are disabled for clarity. This keeps the left “descriptor” column purely presentational and independent of the dataset.

For example, you can have a similar implementation:

Is this the scenario you are trying to achieve or are you after a different result? Can you elaborate a bit if so?
