Grouping and Adding additonal Total Columns to a Matrix

@ links to members, content
 
I am having trouble breaking out this report as well as adding additonal total columns to a matrix.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I am using color coding formula I created to distinguish the type of time entered in the timesheet report.

hi  @Anonymous 

To my knowledge, it couldn't achieve that add additional total column in matrix for now.

you may try Greg_Deckler's way, but this will need take manual maintenance, and I would suggest you use two matrix to combine them to get it.

I am working with time sheet data for employees.  The purpose of this report is to see when a employee has not entered time for a specific date, when time has not been entered, that date will show with pink background.  When time has been entered it will show with a green background.
 
The issue is in our database employees are placed in a category :
Labor-DLY
Labor-SAL
Labor- HRL
In the matrix as columns I have the workdate and the category.  The matrix lists all categories not just the category the employee actually falls under.  Therefore, if the employee is only Labor-DLY  and the employee enters time for that date, it is green, but the matrix goes on to color Labor -SAL and Labor HRLY with a pink background as if the employee is missing time for these two categories. The employee is not missing time for Labor-SAL and Labor-HRLY because the employee is a Labor-DLY employee.
 
The excel sheet is the actual report.  Also it totals all at the end of the matrix, in which I need a column for Labor, Vacation and Holiday Totals broken out. 
Hope this helps.  Thank you for any assistance!

This looks as if will take manual maintenance.  I need this to be dynamic whenever time is entered.
