Question

Is it possible to display information in TableView as given in screenshot?

Here: ‘MyFund’ is sum of amounts of Rob, Mike and Sam Fund.

I am not sure how will I sum up the amounts and display in Table headers.

Please help!

Hmm. I suppose you could calculate the summation in sectionIndexTitlesForTableView as such:

- (NSArray *)sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
   // replace the following with however you'll calculate the sums
   int sumSectionOne = 4;
   int sumSectionTwo = 3;

   return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"$%d",sumSectionOne], [NSString stringWithFormat:@"$%d",sumSectionTwo], nil];
}

but it does mean you’ll be invoking reloadSections a lot on that table view. Moreover, this isn’t entirely the intended purpose of UITableView (though admittedly a really easy way of doing this).
