how to total the values in a numeric column?

I'm building a report using the matrix control. I have financial data in
different line items (Salary, Rental Expense etc) that needs to be shown by
month (so the columns have months). I have it pretty much working but can't
figure out how to sum up the numbers in each column at the bottom so I can
have a total for every month. Could anyone help?
Thanks a lot.
BobRight-click on the row field that you wish to total, in your case it
would be the Salary field. Choose Sub-total from the menu.
To format the subtotals you need to right-click->properties on the tiny
green triangle that appears on the Total cell.|||ahhh. I was thinking this must be something really simple since it's such a
common function. You can't believe how much time I had spent trying to
figure this out. Thanks a lot.
