How can I get the Actuals Field to replace the budget field for that same month?

Anonymous — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 22:25:59 GMT

For example, In this photo I have Jan and Feb actuals and then all the budget numbers for the rest of the months of the year. Say it is April currently, I would then want only the Actual April field column to show and remove the April Budget field so on and so on.

if(isblank([Actual]), [Actual], [Budget])

How to get a single continuous line for Actual and Target without any break: https://youtu.be/41yhZz2pNTI

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. However; the actual and budget columns are in seperate tables. They are connected on account number but I can't build this measure because of that.

These are my two tables being connected on GL/DEPT when I tried to write your DAX measure it did not work.

Also, my Budget and Actual Amount fields are not measures they are actual fields inside my tables.
