How to calculate difference column between two columns from different data source in Matrix table?

Hi everyone, 

 

I read the similar post : 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Difference-between-two-columns-or-rows/td-p/188185

 

However, I tried applying the suggested DAX in my Power BI for the similar issue but it turned out to not be working. Because I am using two different datasets in the Model view. It means I have two different files - 2023 Projection and 2022 Expenditure. How do I calculate the difference per unit between both. 

 

Thank you for your help!

Finance $        20,000.00 $           10,000.00
Human Resource $     400,000.00 $         350,000.00
Marketing Communication $     500,000.00 $         850,000.00
Programme $          2,000.00 $           30,000.00

There are two catergories -  Account and Department. I want to calculate a difference per Account catergory between Spent and Projection. Please advise.

hi @troubledlady 

your sample dataset is not sufficient to reflect the challenge, please consider enrich it. 

This is sample dataset. I can't show everything from my orginial dataset which contains very sensitive info.
