Use the switcher to compare the `PageSummary`, `GlobalTotals`, and `GroupPagination` strategies, which are set through the `$groupingStrategy` property. The `column()` method defines an on-the-fly column `TotalPrice` using a custom formatter called `PrepareTotalPrice` to evaluate its value and applies the `aggregate()` column configuration to keep a running total of the category group. When you paginate along the table you will notice that the aggregation will automatically detect multiple currencies and provide separate totals for each currency in the group footer. The `PageSummary` strategy shows every group with its records and a summary row calculated from the current page. Switch to the `GlobalTotals` strategy to calculate totals for the entire filtered dataset, while keeping the rows paginated. Switch to the `GroupPagination` strategy to add group-level pagination and expandable group controls. Each group is then collapsed behind a Show button, and the second switcher sets the `$groupExpansionMode` property: `AllRows` reveals every row of an expanded group, while `PaginatedRows` paginates them using `$groupExpansionPerPage`.
