as a whole
Taken all together
As a whole means considered collectively or in its entirety, rather than by individual parts: The project had problems, but as a whole it succeeded.
The phrase emphasizes unified judgment over piecemeal analysis: The economy as a whole is recovering, even if some sectors lag.
