Option Description Sum Adds all the values. Average Adds all the values and divides by the number of values. Count Counts the total number of values. Count Distinct Counts the number of unique values. Minimum Finds the lowest value. Maximum Finds the highest value. Standard Deviation Calculates the standard deviation. Standard deviation is the square root of the variance of the values. 5-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Desktop 5. Click the drop-down button to select the data points to be totaled. Figure 5–21 Select the Data Points to Total All Data Points — displays totals for each set of appropriate data points. For example, if the table contains two columns of numeric data points, both columns display totals. However, data points not appropriate for the type of total are not displayed. In the example above, Region is a set of data points, but summing Region data points doesn’t make sense—it would be like trying to add “Central” to “East”. In this case, Regions are not summed even though you selected All Data Points. A specific numeric data point such as Profit SUM in the example —displays totals for the selected set of data points. A non-numeric data point such as Region in the example —when you select a non-numeric set of data points, the options for the totals in the first drop-down list are limited to only those options that apply to non-numeric data points. For example, if you select Region, sum of regions does not make sense. The only totals that make sense for non-numeric data points are Count, Count Distinct, Maximum, and Minimum. 6. Click one of the options for Placement of the totals data: Grand total at bottom —Calculates the Grand Total for a column and places it after the last row of the table or crosstab. Variance Calculates the variance. Variance is the sum of the squares of the differences between each value and the arithmetic mean divided by the number of values. Percentage of Grand Total Calculates the Grand Total of the row or column, then finds the percentage of the current column or row of the Grand Total. Note: If you choose the All Data Points option when your Worksheet contains Calculations, the Calculation is applied to the Totals.
