How to: Add a Total to a Group or Tablix Data Region (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS)
You can add totals in a tablix data region for a group or for the entire data region. By default, a total is the sum of the numeric, non-null data in a group or in the data region, after filters are applied. To add totals for a group, click Add Total on the shortcut menu for the group in the Grouping pane. To add totals for an individual cell in the tablix body area, click Add Total on the shortcut menu for the cell. The Add Total command is context-sensitive and enabled only for numeric fields. Depending on the tablix cell that you select, you can add a total for a single cell by selecting a cell in the tablix body area or for the entire group by selecting a cell in the tablix row group area or the tablix column group area. For more information about tablix areas, see Understanding the Tablix Data Region (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS).
After you add a total, you can change the default function Sum to a different aggregate function from the list of built-in report functions. For more information, see Aggregate Functions Reference (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS).You can create and modify report definitions (.rdl) in Report Builder 3.0 and in Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items. For more information, see Designing Reports in Report Designer and Report Builder 3.0 (SSRS) on the Web at microsoft.com.
