Two ways to solve this:

 

1) create a new field called total expentures. Attach. run your table tool.

2) create a dummy row called total - union in - run your table tool.

 

see attached for how to implement.

@caneerajdwivedi - there's also a handy tool called Add Totals that you can download as part of the crew macro package here: Chaos Reigns Within: Alteryx CReW Macros

 

Configuration looks like this:

@Bren_Spill 

Thank you for your quick response. However, I am specifically looking for a solution related to summing columns while using a reporting tool. In a normal scenario, we can perform a sum and union to achieve the solution you've mentioned. My table is grouped by category to generate PDFs, and I need the total for each page according to that grouping.

@caneerajdwivedi - hey - did you look at my workflow? You still need to do the summarize/union/etc...
