How to add a specific subtotal in a matrix

Hi

 

I have a matrix table which I'm trying to find a way to sub-total 4 out of 5 territories.  What is displayed in the screenshot is a principal or company and my team needs to see Metro, Mid, PA and UNY as a grand total and NE needs to be by itself.  Is there a way I can successfully achieve this through formatting the visual?

@emma313823 you should add new group column, better to add in PQ but with DAX you can do something like this:

 

New Group = 
IF ( Table[Column] IN { "Metro", "Mid", "PA", "UNY" }, "ITC South", "Other" )

 

In the matrix visual, on rows, add this new group column and under it add territory column and that will do it.

@emma313823 I said add a new column, preference is to add in the Power Query (PQ) but I gave you the solution on how to add a column using DAX. You don't need to add a group, just add a new column, give it a name, I called "New Group", you can call it whatever, and then use the DAX expression I gave in my original reply.

I'm sorry could you clarify PQ please?  I tried adding new group...see screenshot.

With the dialogue box opened, I renamed to ITC South, selected the Principal of ITT Cannon Connector, but am at a loss as to what to do next?
