    Hi mastone,

     

    All you can currently do is use the totals and subtotals API to request aggregated data, if using the matrix dataViewMapping. If you don't have this set up in your visual capabilities already, then I would suggest attempting to add it in as per the documentation.

     

    If you have tried this, then there is currently no other way to aggregate the data view and you will need to contact Microsoft to request the feature you feel is missing.

     

    Regards,

Thank you dm-p!   I didn't even know that api existed.  This is very helpful.  I'll give that a shot.
