Adding Totals to a Summary in Data Prep Studio
You can add subtotals and (grand) totals to a summary for selected key fields.
Subtotal lines are added whenever the value of the key field changes. In the illustration below, subtotal lines are added whenever the value of the Customer key field changes.
Note that subtotal lines cannot be added for the right-most key field in any summary.
By comparison, a total line sums up measure fields.
