Advanced Metric Options dialog box: Subtotals

Subtotals allow you to display totals on a report by selecting an aggregation function. When you create a metric, you determine which subtotals are available for that metric. A user who runs a report with that metric can then choose which of those subtotals to display on the report, as described in Displaying and hiding grand totals and subtotals.

The Subtotals options allow you to select the functions used to calculate report subtotals for this metric. The following options are available:

Function for default subtotal: Select the default function to use to calculate report subtotals.

Select the subtotals you want available for this metric: Select the functions that can be used to calculate subtotals for the metric. To do this, click  next to Select the subtotals you want available for this metric. Select the subtotals that you want to be able to use for this metric on reports; clear the subtotals that you do not want to use.
