Making subtotals

Hello Everyone,

I have a dimension that has the following members:

Directors

Senior Managers

Managers

Senior Associates

Associates

But they way they need to be displayed includes subtotals. Senior Managers and Managers are placed into Management and Staff is a total of everyone except Directors. They should appear on the report in something like this:

Directors 10

Senior Managers 15

Managers 9

Management 24

Senior Associates 17

Associates 40

Staff 81

Total 91

What is the best way to do this? Right now I am using a matrix because I am also showing headcounts by Period. Is a table a better way to go? Is it something that should be done in my dimension?

I can do the Total part. I am just not sure how to make the subtotals inbetween the other lines.

Thank you for the help.

If you set up your hierarchy, you should be able to this just fine. Have levels that indicate whether someone is a Director or Staff, and another level that indicates whether they're Management or NonManagement. Then you should be able to easily have the subtotals, with drill-down as appropriate.

Rob,

Thank you for the answer - it was exactly what I needed. Because the way we currently do reporting, a static Excel sheet that is printed, I never even thought of using a drilldown.
