DAX IF Statement

I am new to writing DAX and trying to write the below IF statement:

 

Forecast/Actual= If TableX(actual amount) has a value, use TableX(actual amount) value. If TableX(actual amount) has no value, use Table Y(forecast amount)

 

No value meaning blank or 0.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

If replace = true then you return the forecast, otherwise the actual
