I would like the column total to show in a cell of that column. After reading the documentation I have tried including the dhtmlxgrid_math.js file and designating the column type as math. Then using =c4 in the XML. This always results in zero.
How should I go about displaying a column total in the grid?
You should declare all summands of a sum in the needed cell.
For example: =[[1,4]]+[[2,4]]+[[3,4]]+[[4,4]]+[[5,4]] - in this cell will be a sum of values of first 5 rows in a fifth column (column indexes are zero-based).
