Matrix Column Totals alternatives
Is it possible to change the row "Total" which sums up each column, to variance, median, mean, etc.
I'm trying to visualise budgeted sales to actual sales and instead of seeing the sumation of these I would ideally like to see the variation to budget or even the average.
Is this possible?

The "total" doesn't really mean sum up the values, it is just a label that display of the aggregation of visual value. For example, if I want it to be AVERAGE, I can create an measure = average([value]), and change the label from "Total" to "Average" under the "subtotals" section in the format panel. This also applies to variance, mean, median, etc. You need to create an appropriate measure and change the label accordingly.Paul Zheng _ Community Support Team

I am still a little unclear on how to change the Column totaal values to variance or average without using code.
