To modify a report field with add totals, perform these steps, either when creating a new report or when updating an existing one.

Let us dive into the process:

Accessing Add Totals Option

Click on the Options button    

Select Add Totals option.

After doing so, you will see total types available for choosing: Total, Subtotal, and None

If you have chosen Total as the total type, simply click on it. Total sums up the values within the field. You can also opt to show a percentage, either in the same column or in a separate one.

Click Next

Sum is helpful when adding grand total of values such as sales, currency, etc. While Count is helpful when you need to count events occurred in certain categories.

Choose for Add Grand Totals. If yes is chosen, this will give you the grand totals of all rows.

When you configure the value of at each change or the value in or change in, you are creating a sequence where when the selected value at each change or in or change in, the selected function will automatically apply to those values.

Example: When you selected the at change in value as sales and the function is sum with add grand totals as yes. What would that appear in the report would be a row with the sales and then another row for the subtotal of that sale. At the very end of the report, you can see the grand total of all sales.
