When creating custom views of data, you may want to perform a different aggregate function other than "Sum" on your column or row. For example, you may want to find the average or maximum values in your data. This can easily be done through the Field Settings dialog box or in code.

To specify the function performed on data at run time:

1. Right-click a field in the Values area of the C1OlapPanel.
2. Click Field Settings in the context menu. The Field Settings dialog box opens.
3. Click the Subtotals tab.
4. Select one of the following options:

   Sum	Gets the sum of a group.
   Count	Gets the number of values in a group.
   Average	Gets the average of a group.
   Maximum	Gets the maximum value in a group.
   Minimum	Gets the minimum value in a group.
   First	Gets the first value in a group.
   Last	Gets the last value in a group.
   Variance	Gets the sample variance of a group.
   Standard Deviation	Gets the sample standard deviation of a group.
   Variance Population	Gets the population variance of a group.
   Standard Deviation Population	Gets the population standard deviation of a group.

5. Click OK to close the Field Settings dialog box. Notice how the values in the summary table change.

To specify the function performed on data in code:

Use the Subtotal property of the field to specify the function. In this example code, first the view is created, and then the average unit price is calculated for each product.

            // build view
            var olap = this.c1OlapPage1.OlapEngine;
            olap.ValueFields.Add("UnitPrice");
            olap.RowFields.Add("OrderDate", "ProductName");
 
            // format unit price and calculate average
            var field = olap.Fields["UnitPrice"];
            field.Subtotal = Subtotal.Average;
            field.Format = "c";
