Thanks to all who replied. I knew it had to be something simple - should
have checked my docs on CD first.
Thanks again.

> ROLLUP
> ROLLUP enables a SELECT statement to calculate multiple levels of
> subtotals
> across a specified group of dimensions. It also calculates a grand total.
> ROLLUP is a simple extension to the GROUP BY clause, so its syntax is
> extremely easy to use. The ROLLUP extension is highly efficient, adding
> minimal overhead to a query.
>
> Syntax
> ROLLUP appears in the GROUP BY clause in a SELECT statement. Its form is:
>
> SELECT ... GROUP BY ROLLUP(grouping_column_reference_list)
>
> Details
> ROLLUP's action is straightforward: it creates subtotals which roll up
> from
> the most detailed level to a grand total, following a grouping list
> specified in the ROLLUP clause. ROLLUP takes as its argument an ordered
> list
> of grouping columns. First, it calculates the standard aggregate values
> specified in the GROUP BY clause. Then, it creates progressively
> higher-level subtotals, moving from right to left through the list of
> grouping columns. Finally, it creates a grand total.
>
> ROLLUP creates subtotals at n+1 levels, where n is the number of grouping
> columns. For instance, if a query specifies ROLLUP on grouping columns of
> Time, Region, and Department (n=3), the result set will include rows at
> four
> aggregation levels.
