Hi @INJAMOV ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

For example there're Year and Month columns in the Columns field of matrix, in the visual formatting pane>Visual>Column subtotals.
1.Turn on the Column subtotals option.

2.Turn on the Per column level option.

3.In the Series option, select the sub-level, here in my sample is Month.

4.Turn off the Show subtotal option.

Get the expected result.

This feature is broken. When I set column level to year, it still shows monthly subtotals. As it stands, I can have year & month, or year month & Grand Total,  or NO subtotals. In no configuration of these settings can I have year only or grand total only.

But i want excatly reverse, i want to remove sub total and keep grand total
