Hi,
I have the following matrix:
with the following data model:
The customer wants to add in the first row of the matrix the total sum of sales of Segment. The matrix should look like this:
Is it possible to do it? I can change the data model if necessary.
Thank you so much!

@EstherBR Here is an example that more or less aligns with what you are trying to do:
Create a table called "Categories":
| Category | Sort |
| Total Segment | 1 |
| Dallas | 2 |
| New York | 3 |
| San Francisco | 4 |
Set the Sort column to be the Sort by column for Category.
Now create the following measure for use in your Matrix:
My Measure =
VAR _Category = MAX( 'Categories'[Category] )
VAR _Return =
IF(
_Category = "Total Segment",
SUM( 'Cities'[Sales] )
CALCULATE( SUM( 'Cities'[Sales] ), FILTER( 'Fact Table', [City] = _Category ) )
)
RETURN _Return
Put the Category column from your Categories table as the rows to your matrix and My Measure as the Values.

@EstherBR You will need to use a table for the rows that does not have any relationships to your other tables. You can then construct a single measure that forms the relationship between that table and the rest of your data that you would then use in the matrix as the Value.
