Footer Aggregation
Add automatic aggregations to the footer row of your table. Footer aggregations summarize column values and display the result beneath the table.

How footer summaries work
A footer aggregation summarizes the values currently shown in a column and displays the result beneath the table. Use it when you want a quick overall summary without enabling grouping.
Each column can use a different footer function. The source rows and their values stay unchanged.
Add a footer summary
Choose the column to summarize, then select the calculation that should appear at the bottom of the table.
Open Columns
Edit the macro and switch to the Columns tab.
Expand the metric column
Click the column whose total, count, or other summary you want to show.
Choose Footer aggregation
In Aggregations, select a function from the Footer aggregation menu. The preview adds the result beneath the table immediately; save or publish the page when you are done.
TIP
Footer aggregations summarize the current table view and appear only in the footer row. Set the totals-row color in Formatting → Table colors → Summary rows.
Choose the function that fits the column
The choices adapt to the column type, so you only see calculations that make sense for that data.
| Function | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Any columnMeasure records or unique values. | |
| Count 42 rows → 42 | Counts the rows in the current table view. |
| Count distinct Ana, Ken, Ken, Maya → 3 | Counts unique, non-blank values. |
| Number columnsCalculate a numerical summary. | |
| Sum 120, 80, 50 → 250 | Adds numeric values; blanks are ignored. |
| Average 4.6, 4.9, 4.0 → 4.5 | Calculates the arithmetic mean. |
| Minimum / Maximum 7, 3, 5 → 3 / 7 | Returns the smallest or largest value. |
| Enum columnsDescribe the values in a category. | |
| Values Open, In progress, Done | Lists the values represented in the footer. |
| Mode In progress, Blocked, In progress → In progress | Returns the most frequent value. |
How footer summaries behave
- A footer aggregation changes only the footer row. The underlying source values stay unchanged.
- Different columns can use different footer functions in the same table.
- Footer calculations work with the selected data type and display format for each column.
Check the overall project budget at a glance
A project team tracks planned and actual spend across many workstreams.
- Before
- Readers have to scan every row or export the table to understand the overall spend.
- After
- The team adds a Sum footer aggregation to both amount columns. The totals remain visible at the bottom while every line item stays available.
