dxDataGrid - Summary should mimic the column's format by default

created 10 years ago

Let's say that I have a column defined as

JavaScript
{  
  dataField: 'SaleAmount',  
  alignment: 'right',  
  format: 'currency',  
  precision: 2  
}

and a summary item defined as

JavaScript
{  
  column: 'SaleAmount',  
  summaryType: 'sum'  
}

My summary is not going to be formatted as a currency.

Instead, I have to repeat things we already know:

JavaScript
{  
  column: 'SaleAmount',  
  summaryType: 'sum',  
  valueFormat: 'currency',  
  prevision: 2  
}

Of course, having a summary with a different format than the column is a perfectly valid scenario but as a developer I would expect the default summary to mimic the column's formatting.

What do you think about that?
