To reproduce: protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); DataTable dt = NewDt(); this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt; var c = this.radGridView1.Columns["Calculted"] as GridViewDecimalColumn; c.EnableExpressionEditor = true; c.Expression = "Column2 / SUM(Column2) * 10"; c.DecimalPlaces = 2; c.FormatString = "{0:N2}"; this.radGridView1.GroupDescriptors.Add("GroupByColumn", ListSortDirection.Ascending); } private DataTable NewDt() { var dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add("ItemColumn"); dt.Columns.Add("GroupByColumn"); dt.Columns.Add("Column2", typeof(decimal)); dt.Columns.Add("Calculted", typeof(decimal)); for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) { string gr = string.Empty; if (i % 3 == 0) gr = "gr3"; else if (i % 2 == 0) gr = "gr2"; else if (i % 5 == 0) gr = "gr5"; else gr = "item" + i.ToString(); dt.Rows.Add("id #" + i.ToString(), gr, i, 0); } return dt; } Workaround: public class CustomExpressionContext : Telerik.Data.Expressions.ExpressionContext { RadGridView radGridView; public CustomExpressionContext(RadGridView grid) { this.radGridView = grid; } public decimal MySum(string columnName) { decimal sum = 0; foreach (var item in radGridView.Rows) { sum += (decimal)item.Cells[columnName].Value; } return sum; } } Telerik.Data.Expressions.ExpressionContext.Context = new CustomExpressionContext(this.radGridView1);
