Hi Steve, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 
 
We have checked your query and currently we do not have direct support for setting Alignment for SummaryColumns. We will provide the support for SummaryColumns Alignment based on the GridColumn in our upcoming 2017 Vol 4 SP 1 release, which will be schedule for rollout End of December 2017.  
 
Now you can achieve your requirement by customizing GridTableSummaryCellRenderer based on the requirement. Please refer the below code example for add and remove the CellRenderers in SfDataGrid 
 




dataGrid.CellRenderers.Remove("TableSummary"); 
dataGrid.CellRenderers.Add("TableSummary", new GridTableSummaryCellRendererExt()); 
 
Custom renderer class: 
 




public class GridTableSummaryCellRendererExt : GridTableSummaryCellRenderer 
{ 
    public GridTableSummaryCellRendererExt() 
    { 
    } 
    public override void OnInitializeDisplayView(DataColumnBase dataColumn, SfLabel view) 
    { 
        base.OnInitializeDisplayView(dataColumn, view); 
        view.HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.End; 
    } 
    public override void OnUpdateDisplayValue(DataColumnBase dataColumn, SfLabel view) 
    { 
        base.OnUpdateDisplayValue(dataColumn, view); 
        view.HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.End; 
    } 
} 
 
In our source we cannot able to get the proper given format while we set the Format using Xaml page, so we have passed empty parameter for format conversion.
