Calculate the correct total of a column

Hi all,

 

I have the problem that the total in my visual table doesn't calculate the correct value.

The reason is that the values in column "n=" are extracted from a lab managment system and I have to choose "maximum" to display the value I actually want. Otherwise I would have several lines with different values for every topic. I guess that's why it also displays the maximum as total.

Is there a possibility to just sum up the values displayed in the table? It would also be fine to do that with another visual if that's easier. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

The whole table looks like this:

As I said, everything is a dataflow extract of a lab managment system. The list shows me all open requests with lab tests to be made and n is the number of replicates to be tested per method.
