Kendo UI MVC Grid, column-cell subtracted with the previous column-cell

[Axel]

I have a child-grid where I want to to subtract the 'Value' column-cell with the previous 'Value' column-cell client-side, I tried using a ClientTemplate but I couldn't get it to work .

Ex, Let's say I am looking at the 'Value' with the 'SensorId' 3, I want the 'Change' column to be: 'Value' where 'SensorId' == 3 - 'Value' where 'SensorId' == 4, and so forth.

Thanks in advance.

@(
Html.Kendo().Grid<ErvinBeta.Models.ViewModels.ValueViewModel>().Name("ValueGrid#=SensorId#")
    .DataSource(ds => ds.Ajax()
    .Model(m => m.Id(sv => sv.SensorId))
    .PageSize(15)
    .Read(read => read.Action("ReadValue", "Home", new { SensorId = "#=SensorId#" }))
    .Sort(sort => sort.Add(sv => sv.Timestamp).Descending()))

    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(sensorValue => sensorValue.ValueId).Visible(false);
        columns.Bound(sensorValue => sensorValue.SensorId).Visible(false);
        columns.Bound(sensorValue => sensorValue.Value).Title("Value")
             .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "valueColumn" }).Width(150)
             .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("contains"))
             .Cell(cell => cell.ShowOperators(false)));
        columns.Bound(sensorValue => sensorValue.Category.Unit)
             .Title("Unit").Width(200).Filterable(false);
        columns.Bound(sensorValue => sensorValue.Timestamp).Title("Timestamp")
             .Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd}").Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell
             (cell => cell.Operator("contains")).Cell(cell => cell.ShowOperators(false)));
    })
    .Scrollable()
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Mode(GridFilterMode.Row))
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 600px;", @class="valueTable"})
    .ToClientTemplate()
)

Hello Axel,

In order to show a column that has a value calculated based on the values from other columns you can utilize the ClientTemplate option. The column definition would look similar to the following.

columns.Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("\\#=SensorId-Value\\#");

Give the approach a try and let me know how it works for you.
