Kama,

you need to do following to enable Totals:

Presentation Tab -> Dimensions and Expressions-> Select your first dimension "FY15 Resource Pool"

-> mark checkbox "Show Partital Sums" and Subtotals "Subtotals at Bottom"

The last row should show now Totals for your month columns.

Please see one of my pivot tables as example:

Hi Kama,

In the Presentation tab of the pivot table's properties, select your dimension and check the flag "Show Partial Sums".

Hi Kama,

Does your Screenshot not show a straight table ?

Did you checked inside the chart properties:

1. Expressions Tab -> Total Mode -> Expression Total

If you need Sub Totals for Pivot table:

Chart properties -> PresentationTab -> Dimensions and Expressions -> Show Partital Sums

Best regards,

Ronny

Hi Ronny,

I guess it's a pivot table that may have the option "Always Fully Expanded" checked.

The straight table would basically repeat the dimension's values over the rows.

Hi,

Can I display the overall total in the pivot table? I want to add a new row that display the overall total of the column November, December and January. Can I do that in pivot table?

Hi,

I am new to Qlikview,In this case which dimension should be selected to show totals at the bottom of the table. Because I tried "show partial sums" and it was showing totals in between rows.

Hi Navdeep,

You need to select your first dimension(highest dimension) because for the pivot table it is just Subtotal.

Please see following screenshot:

example pivot table2.PNG.png

In this Example I need  to select "Geo Zone" Dimension only under Presentation Tab->

Dimensions & Expressions and Subtotals at the Bottom.

If I would select another dimension I also would get the Subtotals between, depending which dimension is select.

Regards,

Ronny
