create a TOTAL row?

becki

i have rows of data like this:

 

 Segment_name| Industry percent

CAR                   | 34.2

TRUCK              | 18.8

UTILITY             | 47

 

and i need to create a row called TOTAL, looking like:

 

TOTAL                | 100

 

if i do a sum/summarize on the field "Industry Percent", it creates a field of TOTAL, not a row.  how can I do this?

 

thanks

Hey @becki. Try adding the attached macro to your workflow by downloading it and then right clicking on the canvas and selecting Insert-> Macro...

In the configuration, you can select 'Add Total Row Only' if you don't want a column total as well. You can also choose a label. The default is 'Total'. Hope this helps!

Hey becki,

 

This is possible, you can try the workflow attached.

 

Though I appreciate your example may be a bit more complex than outlined with this dummy data please let me know if this does not work.

 

We start by summerizing as you mentioned, which as you said creates a new column. We can then union the data back in to make it a row.

 

I've also built a second example in the same workflow with subtotals for two categories.

Hello,

 

I started using "Add totals" crew Macro but I'm having problem with few columnns.

As you can see, Column "Difference" is ok, but Overtime 2021 and Overtime 2020 total is done in separate columns. Both of those fields are numeric and I'm not really sure what is the problem.

My "Add totals" configuration below

Thank you in advance
