Use the More-Button in DataPilot dialog in order to show more options. You can
see a checkbox with the label "Total columns" and another checkbox with the
label "Total rows".

(also see the screenshot attached)

These labels must not be plural but singular, because in no case these
checkboxes mean more than one single column and more than one single row.

Worse: At the moment the caption "Total columns" could be misunderstood as
"Total of columns" (what would be a row) and the the caption "Total rows" could
be misunderstood as "Total of rows" (what would be a column).

This possible misunderstanding is even boosted because of the naming used by the
main competitor, a lot of PivotTable/DataPilot users are familiar with (also see
the second screenshot attached):

Meaning a column, that shows the total results of several rows
OOo uses "Total columns"
MSO uses "Grand totals for rows"

Meaning a row, that shows the total results of several columns
OOo uses "Total rows"
MSO uses "Grand totals for columns"

My suggestion for OOo: Take over the labelling used by MSO, not because we want
to copy Redmond, but because it is doubtless and clear.
