With

\mathrm{SS}_{\mathrm{total}}=\sum_{j=1}^k\sum_{i=1}^{n_j}(Y_{ij}-\overline Y_{\cdot\cdot})^2, \qquad \mathrm{SS}_{\mathrm{treatment}}=\sum_{j=1}^k n_j(\overline Y_{\cdot j}-\overline Y_{\cdot\cdot})^2, \qquad \mathrm{SS}_{\mathrm{error}}=\sum_{j=1}^k\sum_{i=1}^{n_j}(Y_{ij}-\overline Y_{\cdot j})^2,

the total sum of squares splits as \mathrm{SS}_{\mathrm{total}}=\mathrm{SS}_{\mathrm{treatment}}+\mathrm{SS}_{\mathrm{error}}.
