Creating a Total in Related List

Hi I am trying to add a total to a related list and struggling with this, Is there a way to do this in a visual force page?

Also, not sure of your level of familiarity with Visualfoce, but here is an example of how you could refer to your 'Total Units' custom field: 
  
​<apex:outputField value="{!opportunity.Total_Units__c}"/>

Hi Debbie - yes, you can adjust the what's displayed in the header of the related list:

Thank you for responding, but how do you created the total field, for example I have # of units fields  and it is listed for 5 different entries the user wants to see the total line below

Plan A 1
Plan B 2
Plan C 3
Total    6

Configure a roll-up summary field, e.g. 'Total Units', that counts the number of related records.  Then put in a reference to 'Total Units' in the related list header.

I do have one last question, so I created the roll up and field just fine, but when you create the visual force page how do you create the column so it displays as I showed above where the total displays below?
