Allow dashboard components to show Grand Totals
Dashboard components based on Summary Reports should show a "Grand Total" row, just like the source reports do. It's a burden to users to have to drill down into the report (or open Calculator) just to get a total value.

Here'a a workaround: add another component right below your chart, selecting the type of "metric". Enter your source report, and for the Metric Label enter Grand Total. This will look like what you are asking, but will take up two of your dashboard components instead of one, and involves more clicks to set up. Good idea, to have that automatically - it would be a welcome addition. |

It's especially important if you are already up against the limit of 25 components on a dashboard becuase you're using metric-type items. |

I agree, seems like it should be a standard part of the chart. Thanks rpr2 for the workaround, that helps alot for now! |

Would be nice to be OPTIONAL so you can choose if you want it or not. |

Yes, I have been using the workaround (I felt pretty smart when I figured it out :-) lol), but it's causing me to bump up to that 25 components limit :-( |

Yes, although there's a workaround, I'd rather have this be native. Thanks, Aaron! |

Currently, you have to create another dashboard module just to show grand totals, which eats up allowed # of modules per dashboard. |

This is a great idea. I need this in my own work. Unfortunately, I accidentally hit demote. |

I guess this would only work if you showed ALL records not say the top 5 or top 10 records. |

re: maria's comment: I would like to have the choice when we do a 'top x' report - because in some cases, I'd like to see the total of the report, and in other cases, I'd like to see just the total of what's showing up for those 'top x' records. |

@WrogWrog: Do you really have 25 components? I only have 20. Please also vote on this idea regarding the maximum number of components. http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/67447/Allow_more_than_20_components_... |

This is fundamental. This should not be a feature request, rather a bug that needs fixing. |

This is basic reporting, VERY surprised this is not available. Agree adding totals to reports using another component is optional but what happens when you reach the limits for the Dash?. Why would I want to use a workaround to a basic piece of functionality, that IS available in all *other* reporting tools. An absolute must in my opinion. |
