It would be great to be able to add a grand total column/row to a column/bar chart. For instance, if I have four sales regions and I plot sales by region on a clustered column chart, I would like to be able to add a fifth column that shows the total for all regions. Similar to this functionality in Tableau: http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/online/mac/en-us/calculations_totals_grandtotal_turnon.html

Please add this feature. Current workaround is creating a hierarchy, but it does not look as nice.

A common requirement. Easy to do in Excel, Tableau, SSRS, many other tools.

Clearly not a duplicate.

RE: Ability to add grand total to column/bar charts

This is basic requirement, whilst there are workarounds they are messy and this should be standard functionality that can be switched on and off - this is one a number of things that Tableau can do but Power BI can't and is leading to some people in my business who have been users or consumers of Tableau reports questioning whether Power BI is the right tool for the business.
