Labeled Total Rows

Total rows are named instead of carrying the DevExpress SUM= prefix. A group footer reads Food Service Totals and the row at the bottom of the grid reads Grand Totals, which is what a report going in front of somebody else needs.

The wording follows the aggregate

A row is named for what it is actually showing, so a figure is never called a total when it is not one.

The row is The group footer reads The bottom row reads
A sum Food Service Totals Grand Totals
An average Food Service Averages Overall Averages
A count Food Service Counts Overall Counts
A minimum Food Service Minimums Overall Minimums
A maximum Food Service Maximums Overall Maximums

Where one row mixes aggregates — an amount summed and a lead time averaged on the same line — the row is named for the sum, and every cell whose own aggregate differs carries a short label of its own: Avg 4.2, Count 118, Min 3.

A row that summarizes nothing nameable is not labeled, and no total row is drawn for it.

Nothing to turn on

This is how every report grid draws its totals. There is no setting for it, on the Grid Layout Editor or anywhere else.

The label applies to the grid on screen

The Excel export and the printout still show the SUM= prefix.
