    I am trying to achieve a layout as shown in the attached image. I want two cells to be stacked to save on horizontal real estate. I've looked at some examples, but all of them lose the row headers. I want the row headers to maintain sorting and filtering capabilities.

    I'm hoping that this is possible with the RadGridView, because it is a pretty glaring deficiency if not. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Anthony,

    Basically you can achieve the desired effect using CellTemplates in order to show the both Dates, and a HeaderCellTemplate to show the two row header. However the Sorting functionality in this case will be a bit ambiguous. You will have to specify only one of the Dates in the cells (the property path to the value in the business object), via the SortMemberPath of the column in order to have a consistent Sorting functionality. 

    As to the row style triggered by the Alert property, you can use a ConditionalRowStyleSelector to achieve that.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you Nik, but that's not the desired effect. The desired effect is to have distinct cells or the illusion of it that provides full functionality (including sorting and filtering). I specifically wanted to be able to sort by both dates. This is confirmation of my fears that Telerik doesn't support what I need.

    Hi,

    I have the same issue.

    I have a column where I need to show several values.
    (Like the dates in the pictures)

    I tried to use a ListView but the ListView doesn't fill the whole cell, and is less "good-looking".

    Do you know how I could do it?

    (I don't need any sorting)

    Hi Anthony,

    You still can sort by both dates on choice, but you will have to handle the sort manually(custom sort), depending on which row of the header you have clicked. Same goes for, filtering and grouping. This however goes beyond the default capabilities and you will probably need to handle much of the interaction yourself. 

    Nicolas, 

    You can use the approach I posted in my first reply(use cell templates and HeaderCellTemplate).

    Hope this helps.
