Is Custom Subtotal in Matrix Visual possible?

Is it possible to create a custom subtotal line in a matrix visual? In the example below (taken from the web) I would want to create a subtotal for Camcorders, Cameras & Camcorders Accessories, and Digital Cameras.
 
Is this possible?
 
So the totals in this example would be.
Subtotal: Camcorders, Cameras & Camcorders Accessories, and Digital Cameras.
Digital SLR Cameras:
Total: Camcorders, Cameras & Camcorders Accessories, and Digital Cameras

There are multiple ways to accomplish this.  The safest would be to add another category level.

I use the ProfitBase visual to add custom subtotals.

@lbendlin Adding another category level can be done in PowerQuery, right? I would add a conditional column that defines the 3 subcategories as a single category?

correct. you can also do that in DAX if you want, or via Groups.
