Hi,

Total() will do exactly as you imagine - total the measure values, regardless of the default aggregation defined for the measure in Framework Manager.

Summarize() will summarize the measure using the default aggregation defined in Framework Manager - eg. if the modeller has defined this as average, then the measure will be averaged by the Summarize() summary.
