Yes, in your picture there are 2 levels of column subtotal. 
You can manipulate wich of them to show with formating options .
For example :

If I will need to show only the blue subtotal ( category level)
I will switch off the year subtotal

The pbix with the example is attached +

Take a look at the linked guide:

The logic of rows subtotals is the same as that of the columns subtotals
