columnGroup nested in columnGroup doesnt function properly

Hi,
I am evaluating Pivot table and need to nest column groups within group in the header. There’s no direct way in Pivot as in Datatable so I tried customizing using “onBeforeRender” as suggested by you. One level of grouping works fine but the open/close gets messed if you added second grouping/level. Similar behavior can be seen in Datatable in below snippet …

If I open “Feb” and try to close “2008” it doesnt close properly.
Further more in using Pivot, and after configuring the structure, the column grouping state (i.e open/close, colspan etc) is all lost.
Pls let me know if this can be fixed or if there is any way around.

Thanks
Arun

There’s no any correlation between “2008” and “feb.2008” batches. Unfortunately, there is no way to implement nested column groups through the existing API.

So far the only solution is a strict dependency between batches. Something like

  on:{
    onColumnGroupCollapse:function(column, batch, visibility){
      if (batch == "2008")
        this.showColumnBatch("feb.2008", visibility);
    }
  }
