Transposing rows and columns with the grid control

[Colin]

Hello,

We have a big requirement that would basically involve flipping the rows and columns of a grid so the client can view data in a spreadsheet like way.  For example if we have:

Header1 Header 2
Data1       Data2
Data3       Data4

We want:

Header1 Data1 Data3
Header2 Data3 Data4

We have been researching the forums but cant find a standard way to do this.  If this is possible with the kendo grid with custom templates or another control can you please point us in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hello Colin,

The Kendo UI grid widget doesn't support the requested behavior. The column headers are always rendered on top as table headers. I am afraid no Kendo UI widget supports the behavior you have described.

I am interested in the same functionality, and contemplating ditching KendoUI for our solution unless there is a way to show our data in a 'transpose' fashion as mentioned above. Could you point me in any direction, or samples where I could provide some basic functionality using a workaround? 
Thanks!

Hello Todd,

 The situation hasn't changed since my last reply. The Kendo UI grid doesn't support the requested behavior. Neither does any other Kendo UI widget.

Todd,

We have looked all over for any type of grid control that can be flipped and other than a silverlight one provided by Telerik they don't exist.  What we ended up doing was manually creating the table with the Razor 2 view engine.  If you want it to look like a kendo grid you can add the kendo style sheets to it.  Basically if you stick with any type of strongly typed view that is directly bound to the grid you will not be able to get the flipped functionality.

Colin,

Thanks. I went with another solution for now. I found it hard to believe there are no working samples for what I was asking for on the Telerik side. Envision the properties window in Visual Studio, that's exactly what I'm after, call it what you may. I know the Kendo product is maturing, that's why I've shied away from using it until now. Note, I will look forward to replacing my AutoComplete control with a KendoTextbox...

Thanks to both,
Todd

Is this still not available? I'll be using another company's grid as well.
