Parameters
- obj
- The element whose statistical context to retrieve.
The values used to calculate the results of a statistical function are retrieved from its statistical context. For example, if an element that displays the results of a statistical function is contained in a group footer, the element's statistical context will be the group, and the results of the statistical function will be calculated according to the values of the data items in the group. If the same element is placed in the footers of a grid, then its statistical context is provided by a grid (through the StatContext property) and all the data items will be used to calculate the results.
The same statistical function can be used by more than one element, regardless of the statistical context. For example, if the average of a column is to be displayed in both the footers of a group and a grid, only one AverageFunction needs to be added to the StatFunctions collection.
