PivotGrid Group by Week

[Jos]

In addition to the options of group by Year, Quarter, Month or Day; I would like to be able to group by week.

Hi Jos,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can create custom group description to group your data by week. The following code snippet demonstrates this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        List<DataObject> data = new List<DataObject>();

        Random rand = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++)
        {
            data.Add(new DataObject() {Date = DateTime.Today.AddDays(i), Value = rand.NextDouble() * 1000.0d});
        }

        this.radPivotGrid1.AggregateDescriptions.Add(new PropertyAggregateDescription() { PropertyName = "Value" });
        this.radPivotGrid1.RowGroupDescriptions.Add(new WeekGroupDescription() { PropertyName = "Date" });
        this.radPivotGrid1.DataSource = data;
    }
}

public class DataObject
{
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    public double Value { get; set; }
}

class WeekGroupDescription : PropertyGroupDescriptionBase
{
    class WeekGroupName : IComparable
    {
        int weekNumber;

        public WeekGroupName(int weekNumber)
        {
            this.weekNumber = weekNumber;
        }

        public override string ToString()
        {
            return "Week " + weekNumber;
        }

        public int CompareTo(object obj)
        {
            if (obj is WeekGroupName)
            {
                return weekNumber.CompareTo(((WeekGroupName)obj).weekNumber);
            }

            return 1;
        }

        public override bool Equals(object obj)
        {
            if (obj is WeekGroupName)
            {
                return weekNumber.Equals(((WeekGroupName)obj).weekNumber);
            }

            return false;
        }

        public override int GetHashCode()
        {
            return weekNumber.GetHashCode();
        }
    }

    protected override object GroupNameFromItem(object item, int level)
    {
        DataObject data = item as DataObject;
        if (data != null)
        {
            return new WeekGroupName(System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(data.Date,
                System.Globalization.CalendarWeekRule.FirstDay,
                System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.FirstDayOfWeek));
        }

        return null;
    }

    protected override Cloneable CreateInstanceCore()
    {
        return new WeekGroupDescription();
    }
}

I hope you find this useful. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions.

Thanks for the quick response, I have been sidetracked to another project but will try this soon.
