Hi @sn2200 

 

This can be easily done with the help of CREWS macro.

CReW Macro training at #Alteryx19 was sold out. An encore training session was added, but for those of you who couldn't attend, I've prepared a video for you of the ADD TOTALS macro. Please do take 4 minutes to learn how to use it and see if it can't save your day. http://www.chaosreignswithin.com/

Hey @sn2200,

 

Here's one way of doing it with just the base tools though I would recommend just using the Macro suggested by @ShankerV. This way of doing it pivots the data so it does not matter how many month columns you have it will SUM them. This works because of the transpose which puts all the month values into one column before aggregating them:

This solution uses the transpose and cross tab tools which can be hard to understand to new users. I would recommend checking out the community Getting-Started-Learning-Path for some context on how they work: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Learning-Paths/Getting-Started-Learning-Path/ta-p/475117#done
