Amazon QuickSight now supports total positioning option for both rows and columns in pivot tables, providing authors added flexibility to style and present tabular data according to their specific use cases and individual needs. Additionally, it makes it easier to compare and view totals which could otherwise be multiple scrolls or pages away. 

Authors will have the flexibility to arrange row totals at the top, bottom, or set them to auto. The auto option will be particularly useful for smooth transitions between compact and tabular layouts in pivot tables. In the compact layout, the default position will be top, while in the tabular layout, the default position will be bottom. Furthermore, authors will also have the ability to position column totals either to the left or right, with the default being the right position. For more detailed information, please refer to the blog.

The new total position for pivot table will be available in Amazon QuickSight Standard and Enterprise Editions in all QuickSight regions - US East (Ohio and N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland and London), South America (São Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
