Adding Columns for Visual Table

Hello,


I would like to add a column to a visual table is the sum or addition of 4 other columns I have in a table field.  Please see my screenshot - I am trying to add Column 1 + Column 2 + Column 3 + Column 4 to create a TOTAL of those 4 columns, so that I can use the Total column in a visual table for my dashboard.


Thank you!Power BI Question.jpg

@dtango9 , As mentioned by @parry2k 

just Try

Column 5 = [Column 1] + [Column 2] + [Column 3] + [Column 4]

 

Column work at row level so no need to sum, That will add up Grand total.
