Understanding the Relationship Between Totals, Subtotals, and Percent of Totals

For a multidimensional crosstabulation table, if you want to identify any percent of total items, then you also need the corresponding total or subtotal items. For example, if you create a percent of row subtotal data item, then you also need the row subtotals.
If you have not already specified any necessary total or subtotal values, then SAS Web Report Studio adds them automatically. For example, if you have not yet specified any totals or subtotals when you create a percent of row subtotal data item, then the Row Subtotals option is already selected when you open the Total dialog box.
If you use the Total dialog box to remove any totals or subtotals, then any percent of total data items that depend on these totals and subtotals are automatically removed. Before this occurs, however, you see a warning and must confirm that you want to remove the totals and subtotals.
