SOLVED - Problems with totals

I have a list applet that has custom calculations for each column broken in to 3 sections: Actual | Plan |
% of Plan

Actual is calculated as follows: total([Customer Demo] for [Employee Full Name]) - this returns the count of customer demo activies by Rep

Plan is calculated:[Months In Territory]*4 - month in territory is a calculation looking at minimum month in year - maximum month in year and then the plan is 4 activities a month = ex - 6 months in territory * 4 = a plan of 24

% of plan is calculated: (actual/plan)

My issue comes in getting the total Plan. The above list looks like this:

Rep                Actual       Plan          % Plan
Bret1               24            24               100
Bret2               16            24                67
Bret3               18            20                90

The totals should look like this for the above

Total                 58           68               85

but I cannot figure out how to get the total plan number to simply add up the values in the plan column.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

this was not so much a totals issue as it was having to explicit name columns in calculations to limit the numbers of rows returned in the query
