Hi  @Anonymous ,

Do you mean making two columns into one?

You can select [Actual Expense] and [Forcase] two columns in Power query - right click - Merge Columns.

For the new column [Merge] – Change Type – Decimal Number.

Hello @ribisht17 ,

I tried doing it in excel and provided results through Linear Forecast but my problem is with the visuals as there was a gap visible. is this something we could resolve instead?
