Although it is useful to show the breakdown of measures by various dimensions, readers value seeing grand totals for rows and columns. If at least one Columns or Rows value is present, it is very easy to show grand totals.
Let's use the sample file Sample – Coffee Chain (Access). Open a new worksheet and select Sample – Coffee Chain (Access) as the data source.
Once the data is loaded on the worksheet, perform the following steps to show grand totals:
- Drag-and-drop Product Type from Dimensions in the Columns shelf.
- Drag-and-drop Market from Dimensions in the Rows shelf.
- Drag-and-drop Profit from Measures in the Text box under the Marks pane.
- From the top menu bar, click on Analysis, expand Totals, and click on Show Row Grand Totals as shown in the following screenshot:
- Again, click on Analysis, expand Totals, and click on Show Column Grand Totals to see both the column and row totals as shown in the following screenshot:
