How To Convert The DataTable Column type?

Question

I am trying to implement:

dtGroupedBy.Compute(\"sum(POWER)\",dvv.RowFilter); 

It results of an error:

Invalid usage

Answer 1

Compute method supports expressions and they support the CONVERT function that you could use inside of the expression.

For example, you could calculate sum of the column like

MyDataTable.Compute("Sum(Convert(your column name, 'Data Type'))")
