You can also use the Project Billing Client dimensions with the Project Billing Clients Count measure in the Project Billing Client Measures group.

This folder contains fields that you can use to sort and group (or filter) by for a client. For example, this allows you to select all clients in the Hospital industry, and then see the total billings (or whatever other measure) for those projects.
