setting the data of the next column in jtable in java

Question

Good day, guys. I would just like to ask, how can I set the value of the next column value? Here, I have the counter \"counter\" which adds the number of true boolean values in

Without more to go on, it's impossible to know 1. What you're trying to do and 2. What you might be doing wrong...

The following example is really, simple. What it does is allows you to is make changes to the table and then hit the "Update" button which then goes through and calculates the total for each row...

}

What the example does it updates the total in real time. What this means, is each time you change a column value for a row, it re-calculates that rows total and updates the model internally.
