Array to display the total category group

Hello Community, So I have this database with about 2 million rows structured like that. So what I want to do is show them in a matrix like this. I was trying to add the word...

    Hi sneidercub ,

    I've updated the Sum with Total measure to:

     

    Sum with Total = 
VAR __One =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Category] )
RETURN
    IF (
        __One = "Total"
            || NOT ( HASONEVALUE ( Category[Category] ) ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ), ALL ( 'Table'[Category] ) ),
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Category] = __One )
        )
    )

     

     

    The rest involves formatting the matrix visual. However, selectively removing the subtotal for each item in a column is not currently supported.

    You may refer to the same link for the updated pbix.

Hi sneidercub ,

My approach would be to create a disconnected table (no relationship with other tables) and use that to hold the values needed.

 

Calculated table:

Category = 
VAR __T1 =
    DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Category] )
RETURN
    UNION ( __T1, ROW ( "Category", "Total" ) )

Measure:

Sum with Total = 
VAR __CATEGORY =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Category] )
RETURN
    IF (
        __CATEGORY = "Total",
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ), ALL ( 'Table'[Category] ) ),
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Category] = __CATEGORY )
        )
    )

Output:

    That's great! 

    Thank you for your help!

    I think I may have simplified too much the issue, let me try to show a little more about what I'm working on:

    so this is a "better" view for the data base:

     besides year there are like other 4 or 5 "categories" that I would have to take in consideration, and the final view I want to get should look more like this:



    and taking into consideration it's a 2 million rows database I'm not sure if creating a new disconnected table with a cross join will help.

    Could you help me with your approach to this?

    Thank you again danextian
