Add a total column to a matrix using different field than what's in the Values field

I need to add a total column to a matrix. This total column field will be in addition to TotalAccounts field in the Values field pictured below. Is there a method to do this in a matrix visual?

There are some hacky workarounds like this or creating another matrix for the second total row (partially hidden behind the existing one). I don't know of any other visuals to recommend.

@MEFOX Can you paste an example of the Total Values you are wanting to be included?  I may not be understanding the question correctly, however, if I am, you should be able to create a Calculated Column or Measure and drag this into the Values pane.

If I have posted a response that resolves your question, please accept it as a solution to formally close the post.

Also, if you are as passionate about Power BI, DAX and data as I am, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, queries, or if you simply want to connect and talk to another data geek!

Not really, at least not cleanly. Generally, you can't have total rows for measures that aren't included in the matrix.

Do you have a suggestion as to how to accomplish this? Is there another visual that might work inplace of the matrix?
