BUG: pd.crosstab fails when passed multiple columns, margins True and normalize True (original) (raw)

I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
(optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({"A": ["foo", "foo", "foo", "foo", "foo", "bar", "bar", "bar", "bar"], "B": ["one", "one", "one", "two", "two", "one", "one", "two", "two"], "C": ["small", "large", "large", "small", "small", "large", "small", "small", "large"], "D": [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], "E": [2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 9]})

pd.crosstab(index=df.C, columns=[df.A,df.B],
margins=True, margins_name='Sub-Total', normalize='all')

returns ValueError: Sub-Total not in pivoted DataFrame

Problem description

#27663 found that pd.crosstab failed when margins and normalize were true. This continues to be the case when more than one column is passed.

This is not the case when a single column and multiple rows is passed.
