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.

Moving this idea to "under review" to mark that discussions are underway. For full transparency, we have started working on DAX calculations at the visual level. That feature will make changes that will serve as building blocks for other features, including but not limited to the one discussed in this idea: providing more flexibility for influencing what is shown on the total: the visual total, the "DAX" total, or another expression altogether.

Hence, the delivery of this Idea will be dependent on the DAX-calculations-on-a-visual feature.

Table visual - enhance totals

When I have a large table I want to quickly know how many rows there are. And potentially how many distinct count on each attribute there are. So the total row shall not only display the sum of the measure, but also the count of the rows and the count distinct of the attributes. Of course this ...

provide easier option to sum the measure column total based on row context, column values or custom user input.

measure in table matrix calculates correctly at the row level, but not as expected at the total level (treats the total level as a row). Instead of having to rewrite the measure, the user should have the option to allow the total to calculate at the row level, or calculate as the sum of the value...

Custom Subtotal for measures

If we create any measure with some calculation. Then the total comes with the same calculation logic. Is it possible to show sum/average in total instead of the actual calculation logic.

Table Totals, Choose Column Total or Formula Total

In a Table or Matrix, I sometimes need the column total and not the formula to give me the total, as there might be a filter or the way the calculation is done that gives the total incorrect, example: the data base gives the sales in weight, I need it in Bag qty, thus needs to divide by bag size ...

Total incorrect when Count distict in a matrix.

Total incorrect when Count distict in a matrix. I have 2 rows in a sheet with the same value. When doing a count the total in the matrix shows 61 items. When doing a count distict it shows 59, even though the column and row totals show 60.

Grand total

Grand totals currently return the measure at a Total level. So sometimes the value is incorrect as it is not an aggregate of the values in the table. PowerBI should at least give the option to calculate the Sum, Average, Weighted Average or Measure Calculation for the Grand Total.

More formatting options for totals in a table (alignment, calculations, conditional formatting, etc.)

Currently in the Table Visualization, users are only able to turn Totals on or off and only changing the font/color and outline. It would be very useful to have more options in here similar to the Matrix Visualization and more. Some I would love to have are: - Alignment – Same as you have it for...

Toggle Totals for Individual Fields

In a table or matrix viz, we have the option currently to turn all totals or subtotals on or off. We should be able to toggle totals and subtotals for each column or row header field individually. Perhaps there is a limit like the header field must have less than X values, that would be fine. ...

Change Totals Aggregation in Tables/Matrix

There should be an option to have the aggregation used in the totals row be separate from the aggregation used in the rest of the rows. For example, the ability to have the aggregation for table values be an average, but the grand totals show as a sum of the averages above. Currently, you have to...
