Matrix/Table grand totals with Measures

It would be great if Grand Totals on a Matrix or Table would add up correctly to the sum of the rows when you include MEASURES in the visual. Currently the total on a measure consists of the measure function itself, instead of the sum of the rows above. PLEASE give us the option to toggle totals to be a simple aggregate of the rows above also.

URGENT Microsoft, please create the function of Running totals in the Dashboard, it is a presentation function, not data nor Dax. Not having a running total in the Dashboard is a Nock Out critieria in the selection of BI tools. Dear coleagues, please vote in the following idea, which is under review by Microsoft: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/7928763-how-about-some-power-query-functions-running-tota

Please resolve this issue, there is really no reason for it not to be a sum in a visual like this.

This is ridiculous - there are people in my organization that are starting to refuse to use Power BI because of this issue alone...

This is very annoying: in Qlik View there is a very simple option to show in the total the result of the formula or the sum of the row values! Please solve this issue asap!!!

There should be an option definately to either show the total of the rows above, OR show in the total field the measure as evaluated in its context. That way you can finally sum up measures in matrices reliably

Or please explain with examples when you believe the current behavior is useful, because I can't think of any situation where it is
