Marlon,

There is shipping functionality to accomplish what you seek. See the
scripts: setTotalsRow, setTotalsColumn, ReadRowTotal, and
ReadColumnTotal.

Reed, your problem is not in the default script set, but is doable
using scripts. I have written some scripts to do just that, and will
pull some snippets from them for public consumption just as soon as I
have the bandwidth -- swamped with work right now, but stay tuned.
