customized subtotal

Hello. I am fairly new to PowerBI. I am trying to build a matrix that has a subtotal where it only adds when "Weekday" is Monday through Friday. I already have subtotals which adds up all the days, but I just need to add Monday through Friday. Would I need a new measure and if so, how would I go about getting this customized subtotal? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

@Greg_Deckler This is my data. I want to ultimately only add Monday through Friday and also have another total for Monday through Saturday. Is this possible?

Hello, it is not possible to make a 2nd total in powerbi tables , instead you can make this calculation with measure and show it in a different table.

@cson123 First, please vote for this idea: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Ideas/Matrix-Table-grand-totals-with-Measures/idi-p...

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

Also: https://youtu.be/uXRriTN0cfY
And: https://youtu.be/n4TYhF2ARe8

 

If you need more specificity, Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
