Hi,

Is there any way to add the Sub Total US column to power BI on a chart?

Hi @alisonpappas ,

 

You will need to add the "US total" as a row in the table.

Assum your table is like below.

Create a new table.

Table 2 = UNION('Table',distinct(SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"country","US","region","US total","value",CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER('Table','Table'[country]="US")))))

Use the new table to create the chart you want.

@alisonpappas maybe create a matrix visual and put data bars and that will allow you to see bars on the regions as well as on the country.
