I found the answer, but I'm not sure I understand the logic behind it.
You can right-click the header column and select "subtotal" to create a subtotal column. My problem was that this did not show the correct values, it showed the field values of the first column, go figure.
After some voodoo and ritual sacrificing of two goats, I managed to discover that if you change the value of the field to Sum(field), then the subtotal is displayed correctly and so is the field... weird stuff
So, summary:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Total
Field1 Field2 Field3 Subtotal
yielded:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Total
1 2 3 1
2 0 5 2
1 1 1 1
but changing the field definition to Sum(Field3) instead of Field3 gave me the correct result.
