End total in a pivot table

Question

Hi,
Is it possible (in Oracle BI 10g !) to split up the total line of a pivot table ?
In the attached example there is only 1 line for the end total and that's the total for 2013 and 2014 together.
I would like to have 2 lines in the total :
- 1 line with the total of 2013
- 1 line with the total of 2014
I know there are some work-around solutions such as putting the year in the column part but that can't be used because :
- we will have more columns as result
- the end user really would like to see 2014 below 2013 and NOT next to each other.
Thanks for any help or suggestion

Hi,
A pivot table view of this data would look something like this by default:
Now switch back to the criteria tab and edit the ‘column properties’ associated with your fact measure. Choose the ‘Data Format’ tab, tick to override the default format and choose ‘Custom’.
It seems that the syntax for this custom format is positive-value-mask (semi colon) negative-value-mask (semi colon) null-mask. So this means we have a few options.
E.g. if you want zeros (0) instead of null then enter:
*#,##0;-#,##0;0*　
If you want a dash/strike (-) then you could enter:
#,##0;-#,##0;-
Or if you want to add a custom message then something like this would work:
#,##0;-#,##0;no data
