Data Analysis Features

Group Summary Calculation

When traditional grid views, with their flat representation of every record in your dataset, produce more noise than you need, that's when it's time to break out the XtraPivotGrid. For example, instead of viewing each sale, you might only need to see how many BMWs were sold compared to Mercedes-Benz. Sophisticated data analysis like this is what the XtraPivotGrid control does best, and it can also be performed via the Group Summary feature in the XtraGrid Suite.

Previously, this kind of data analysis was available in XtraCharts only when used in combination with our PivotGrid control. This combination is no longer required since our chart control now fully supports aggregate function calculations against data groups. Traditionally, there are five built-in functions – sum, maximum, minimum, count and average. You can also implement custom aggregate functions by registering your own calculation procedure. As a result, your custom function will be available to end-users via the XtraCharts Wizard.

Regression Lines

A Regression Line is a commonly used statistical analysis instrument. Appearing as a line drawn across a chart's diagram, it is constructed based on the so-called linear regression analysis.
