Cpmute values in Dataset Table??

[jaawaad]

Does anyone know how i can compute values from dataset table before
assigning datagrid source to it???
My data table looks something like this.

DATE CAT STEP VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/16/2006 AAA1 50 1
01/16/2006 AAA1 50 1
01/16/2006 AAA1 50 1
01/16/2006 AAA1 50 1
01/16/2006 AAA1 100 2
01/16/2006 AAA1 100 2
01/16/2006 AAA1 100 2
01/16/2006 AAA1 100 2
01/17/2006 BBB1 50 3
01/17/2006 BBB1 50 3
01/17/2006 BBB1 50 3
01/17/2006 BBB1 50 3
01/17/2006 BBB1 100 4
01/17/2006 BBB1 100 4
01/17/2006 BBB1 100 4
01/17/2006 BBB1 100 4

What i want to do is to be able to sum "VALUE" for each step & date.

Final Output:

DATE CAT STEP VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/16/2006 AAA1 050 4
01/16/2006 AAA1 100 8
01/17/2006 BBB1 050 12
01/17/2006 BBB1 100 16

Thanks for your help!

Can you just write an SQL statement to grab the sum and then add to the
dataset?

Jaawaad,

Compute gives the values in Net alone for a complete datatable.

Probably can this sample help you to do it, although you have now to sum the
values in the for index loop.

This data table is a result of a SQL query which i cant change....so i
was wondering if there is a way to query a dataset table or view?
