[Solved] Grouping column instead of a row!

[Cory Seaman]

We have a complex layout for a Kendo grid which it feels like we could do more simply via a single grid and grouping rather than two nested grids (master/detail), because that way we could leverage the built-in aggregate capabilities...not to mention that the data is all in a single dataset.  However, doing that would, I think, require some custom coding because what we're trying to do (cell "merging") isn't supported out of the box.

Could this work if we handle a row-level event, and inside there remove the colspan attribute and add a custom rowspan attribute to the grouping row, turning the grouping row into a column?

See the attached image for a couple of rows of the proposed layout.

Hello Cory,

 

You are right that such functionality is not supported out of the box. And while your approach might work in most of the cases, we can not say that it is officially supported.

 

Thanks for the understanding.
