Add summarize members function when dragging member elements from the data element tree into report canvas

In legacy power play for windows client it was possible to select a number of members, press the summarize option in the left hand toolbar and drag the selected members to into the crosstab canvas. The result was, that one calculated member got created in the crosstab containing (member1+members2+membersX).

In CA this option is not available, users have to drag all items into the report canvas, add them up with a calculation and then delete the single members. much more effort and complicated than the solution which existed in powerplay for windows.

My suggestion is to add the summarize option as a popup selection when you drag multiple members into the canvas with right mouse - similar to the implementation of insert tuple.

This will make life much more easy as almost everyone is dealing with subtotals of members in a hierarchy in daily reporting requirements.

Feature would also be cool in other studios like Dashboarding etc. to have the same feature everywhere.
