How to select the information you want

Selecting multiple records to see combined total

When you CTRL-click or SHIFT-click on multiple rows the tooltip menu displays the combined measure value.
On Table views you can click on the Dimension. On Graph/Chart views, click on the graphical measure.

This example of the Items section on the Salesperson Performance dashboard shows the sum of the 3 selected items. Note there is only one measure field, so the sum is of only that measure.
Ctrl-Click on the Prior FY graphic to select 3 records. The Sum of Measure Values shows 3 items selected and the total of the selected measures on the view. Note that the sum value is of all 3 measure fields per row, not a single measure field.

On a map view there is a selection tool available to select by square, circle, or ad-hoc shape. When you hold down the mouse button and drag across the selected areas the tool tip shows the combined measure amount.
