Display Budget vs Actuals (which are at a lower level)

Hi all,

 

I have a requirement to display budgets vs actuals in a somewhat unique way.

Budgets are set at the Program Level

Actuals are set at the Project Level

 

The client would prefer the matrix/table be able to display the information as:

ProgramProjectBudgetRevenue$ Remaining
MyProgram  200,000 135,000
 Project A 40,000 
 Project B 10,000 
 Project C 15,000 
MyOtherProgram 50,000 49,000
 Project D 1,000 

 

So far I am working on the Budget and Revenue (actuals) measures, with some success.

Budget: IF(HASONEVALUE('Projects'[Project Name]), BLANK(), CALCULATE(SUM('Project Budget'[Budget Amt])))

Revenue:  IF(HASONEVALUE('Program'[Program Name]), BLANK(), CALCULATE(SUM('Project Actuals'[Revenue]))

 

Any suggestions are welcome.

 

thanks

Dave

You could try the ISINSCOPE function to help here.

Also, for your matrix formatting, set Stepped Layout to 'Off'. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-matrix-visual#stepped-layout-with-matrix-v...

Is your Revenue measure working as you would like? What problems are you running into? What is the relationship between tables? Looks like you have at least 4 tables for this

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.
