MATRIX COLUMN GRAND TOTALS IS IT POSSIBLE WITH THIS VISUALIZATION

[TheG]

Hi Community,

I recently started using PBI and I came accross a problem which i cant work out and perhaps is a limitation of this Visulation i am using or my lack of experience with this product.....hopefully its the latter.

I am using the Matrix Visulation to break up costs in the general ledger accounts by job. I need a Grand total at the bottom to show the total costs allocated to this job.

Is this possible ? or is there a better way to do this report?

In the Format (Paint Brush) for the Matrix => General => Total Row => ON

Hi@Sean

Thanks so much for the reply this however gives me a subtotal per Account if i put the row total on....not really whats required.

I need a GRAND TOTAL only at bottom of column for each Job. ie $125,788.98 + $41,813 = $167,601.98 for D1 etc

It seems others have had this issue where you cannot turn off the subtotals on the columns and only have a grand total at bottom.

I can do this in Excel without a problem it seems a little more intelligent when it comes to this table formatting...
