For an app in development, we need to track how much time our users (as a whole) spend watching content related to a specific entity.
We're trying to do that with User Timings with category "Entity Name", variable "Entity ID" (for instance category "Band", ID "The Rolling Stones").
This makes it very easy to get the average user timing (time spent) watching content per entity, but we also need to have a total computed. There seems to be no option to get this calculated, which seems weird since it's just the average multiplied by the number of samples collected.
Is there a way to get a "total" column in the User Timings report?
Are we using the right tool for the job, or should we use something else?

No need to learn Apps Scripts.
If you need more robust solution to integrate with your app use Google Reporting API devguide
Why not multiply the average by the number of times it occurred?
Granted GA samples data but this is a simple mathematical operation that could be handled programmatically in a spreadsheet...not to mention manually in 10 seconds.
