Total and Subtotals

Be it a typical table or a hierarchical matrix style report in Power BI, Lumel EPM allows you to seamlessly manage subtotals and grand totals in a couple of clicks.

Consider the example below, we have hierarchies across both rows & columns.

Matrix with row and column hierarchies

Note that

(a) The row subtotals are at the top, and

(b) The row grand total is the top

(c) There are no subtotals and grand totals for columns.

1. Totals

The totals can be viewed under the 'Totals Tab' in the Home toolbar. There are options to enable/disable subtotals and totals, as well as to change their positions.

Options under Totals

Subtotals for rows and/or columns will appear only when a hierarchical structure exists within the respective fields.

1.1 Row Grand Total and Subtotal

You can choose to display the grand total of the rows or the subtotal of hierarchical rows either at the top of the rows or at the bottom of the rows by selecting the Top or Bottom option. You can even hide it by selecting the off option. In addition, row Subtotals can be split using the split option.

Row Totals at the Top and Subtotal at the Bottom

1.2 Split in Row Subtotal

You select the split option to view the subtotal of each sub-section separately.

Row Subtotals are split

1.3 Column Grand Total and Subtotal

You can choose to display the column grand totals or the subtotals either at the right end of the columns or the left end by selecting the 'Left' or 'Right' option. You can even choose to hide it by selecting the 'Hide' option.

2. Freeze

When pagination is turned off, you have the option to freeze totals.

To turn off pagination, click on the settings icon at the bottom and select Rows per page as 'All'.

It is not possible to freeze totals when using the 'Drilldown' layout.

Enabling the Freeze option

Freeze 'On' option enables you to freeze the Grand Total either at the 'Top' or 'Bottom' of the Row.

Freeze 'On' with Row Grand Total at the bottom.

Lumel EPM allows you to manage row & column subtotals & grand totals the way you want in an intuitive & flexible manner.
