Hello Guys,
I am working on a matrix report which has several row groups and 1 column group. After execution, the column group wil end up with several columns containg numeric counts. I would like to have the grand total for each "column group" column as a last row on this report.
For row groups you can just right click "Subtotal", but that is not possible for column group. Could someone please help me to find a clever way of accomplishing this, please. Thank you so much for your help!
For column groups, you can also just right click "Subtotal". Maybe you are clicking the wrong box or it isn't truly a column group or you just aren't seeing it.
Look around a bit more.

|||You're right, however that will just give me totals on the right side of the matrix (row totals). What I would like to have is a grand total column(s) at the bottom of the matrix (basically a grand total for all values in each of the "column grouping" columns). Is there a way to accomplish that? Thank you for your expertise.
|||I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for.
In order to get row totals on the right side of the matrix, you right click a column and select subtotal.
In order to get column totals at the bottom of the matrix, you right click a row and select subtotal.
|||You should be able to achieve this is you add a subtotal on the outermost (leftmost) row group.
The reason you sometimes cannot add a subtotal is to do with static groups which don't support subtotals. These are created when you drag more than one column (measure) from your dataset to the details portion of the matrix (rows or columns).
It would help if you put together some sample data and what you would like to achieve as output. Do this in Excel and copy paste it into a post. That way we'll be able to help more affectively.

Adding a subtotal to the leftmost row group did the trick. Thank you so much.
??€?§Q? , matrix wouldn't let me add the subtotal to the bottom right cell (Data), where I needed the totals to show. Adam's suggestion worked. I thought doing that would just add the total for the values of that rowgroup - but now I know better 
Thank you for your help, guys.
