Change Value Total Labels

Hi all,
I would like to change the labels on values field names in the Totals column.

 

Attached below is an explanation with screen shots. 

 

Is this possible? If so, kindly assist.

 

Kind regards,

Mirithu.

Hi @Mirithu ,

As @vanessafvg said, it can't be changed by default. As a workaroud, you can insert a text box like below.

Put it in front of the total column to cover the original data.
