Question : Totalling a Row Group on a Matrix report in Reporting Services  (SSRS)

I am trying to add a total to the bottom of a matrix report.  My report looks like this...

                                      VALUE1                        VALUE2                         VALUE3
                                         127                                 178                                           2
1      Area1            83                36                                    47                                     0
2      Area2            8                  2                                      6                                        0
3      Area3            15                 7                                     7                                       1
4      Area4            19                 11                                    8                                              0
5      Area5             24                  6                                    18                                      0
6      Area6            53                22                                   31                                             0
7      Area7            71                29                                   41                                             1
8      Area8            34                14                                   20                                             0

I did get a total row just below the column grouping labels (VALUE1, VALUE2...) but I need to total the third column (starts with number 83).

Also is there anyway to move the "total" row to the bottom of the matrix?

Answer : Totalling a Row Group on a Matrix report in Reporting Services  (SSRS)

I've not found a way of adding a row to the bottom of a matrix. however, you can add a seperate matrix below your existing one, and set the row grouping to =1, so that all records are totalled in a single row.

It will line up with your existing matrix, and will look like it is a genuine matrix footer.

However, it will only work if you are using sum, count or avg. If each matrix cell is a max or min then this won't work (depending on what you want your total row to show)
