Disable cached display value?

I'm building a table where I'm displaying information for a store; a store can appear multiple times in the table. Based on the filtering that is established, I need to report on how many times a store appears in the table.

My initial approach is to use mDataProp and provide a function that grabs the set of filtered data for the table and simply count how many times a store appears, and render that as a column in the table. Yeah, a little funky maybe, but does provide the information that I need.

The issue that I'm having is that the display value is cached, so ... when the filtering criteria changes and new rows become visible as a result, I have stale data mixed with newly rendered up-to-date data.

Is there a way to disable the cache so these values are always newly calculated? Will a redraw of the table recalculate the values? I'll try that in the morning (working through this with an intern ... best that we learn together!).

Thanks,

john
