Subtotal in Financial Reporting 9.3.1

Question

Hi,
Can I, with Financial Reporting 9.3.1, group a range of data and sum these values? For example, I have a dimension, “Area”, with a member “Region” and below “Region 1”, “Region 2” …. Every Region has children and in same case one or more children have other children, like in this example:
Area
Region
Region 1
Child 1.1
Child 1.2
Child 1.2.A
Child 1.2.B
Child 1.3
Region 2
Child 2.1
Child 2.2
Child 2.3
This is the configuration of my rows in the report (in columns I select Company, Year, Period …).
I need to count, for every region, how many rows exit: when a child of Region “X” have one o more children, I need to count only level 0.
In the example:
For Region 1 the total is 4 (Child 1.1, Child 1.2.A, Child 1.2.B, Child 1.3);
For Region 2 the total is 3 (Child 2.1, Child 2.2, Child 2.3)
How can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Alessia,
There are two report functions available for counting and they are 'Count' and 'CountA'. See description below from 9301 user guide.
Count
Count is a mathematical function that returns the number of values in a group of numeric values,
rows, columns, or cells. Count excludes #missing and #error when obtaining the count.
CountA is a mathematical function that returns the number of values in a group of numeric
values, rows, columns, or cells. CountA includes #missing and #error cells when obtaining the
count only for rows or columns that are not suppressed.
This might not give desired results until you use some logic. Such as, have hidden rows for each ancestor with level 0 members that you want to count and display in formula row.
Good luck!
