You can control the visibility of totals and grand totals for the entire Pivot dashboard item. For instance, the image below displays the Pivot dashboard item with the disabled row totals.

To manage the visibility of totals and grand totals, use the Totals and Grand Totals buttons in the Design ribbon tab, respectively.

These buttons invoke a popup menu that allows you to manage the visibility of column and row totals/grand totals separately.

Moreover, you can control the visibility of totals for individual dimensions/measures by using the data item's context menu (Show Totals and Show Grand Totals options).
