Avoid #MULTIVALUE, Sum from Query webi 3.1

Question

All,
I have a query that returns multiple rows in the following format
Region   Sales
US         800
UK         500
APAC     400
I have no control over query ( It's MDX generated through a cube universe)
My requirement is to present this as a single line item on the report after the header.
Total Sales: 1700.
Since i don't want to render a table and hide all three rows to get the sum, i am wondering if there is a way to achive this using a formula- may be access the query results directly and apply calculation on top.
I have tried some, but i am afraid my expertise is rather limited- hence no success
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Bashir,
I might be mis-understanding this..but this is my data provider ( my query) result.. consider it with one dimension and one measure
Region  | Sales
US        | 800
UK       | 500
APAC | 400
Now if i use a simple summation formula, for that single column cell
it would be like
=
"Sum([My Query].[Sales])"
This will work if i have a table and sum this total at the end of it.
My aim is to get this output in a single cell and this formula doesn't work there.
I am not sure if i understand your recommendation correctly
