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

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.

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.

@Anonymous , you can; to get correct the total have a measure like

 

Sumx(values(Account[Account]), calculate(if(isblank([Actual]), [Actual], [Budget])) )

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