If nothing is chosen, click in front of Summarize. Else click existing value to change it. Choose whether you want sum / count etc. Then choose the field for which total should be calculated. You can also summarise more than one fields by clicking .

Choose Column
You might want to see the total by sales person / user, by date range (by week / month / quarter / year) or by any other field. Select that field on Column. E.g. to see sales by country, select country on Column. A column will be shown for each country, along with its total.

Note: Descriptions in below links mention X Axis / Y Axis. In Tabular reports, those options are available in rows as well as columns.See Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly Reports
See report by Sales person / User
Use fields of associated records (different table) -
Choose Row
To see a table of X by Y, like above, add the second field to row. So you will see totals for different combinations of X & Y. In above table, Column contains Activity Type (Email, Call etc.) and Row contains Activity Owner (user). So you see activities by each user – how many emails, calls etc.
