What is a simple way to add a budget amount

Hello Gurus,

What is a simple way to add a budget to your calculation? 

Scenario,

I have a budget, lets just say 20million, and I want calculate Actuals to Budget. Throughout the year, there will be new projects added and completed but the Budget will also remain at 20 million. I want to show the remaining budget as we go. What is the best way to add the budget amount for these calculations? Is there a measure I can set for the budget amount? I think that would be the easiest way.

Hi @punksterz626 ,
Thank you @Dangar332  for your prompt reply, I have created a data example for you to help you with your problem. You can follow the steps below:
Data Example:

1. Add a DateTable and create a relationship with the FactTable.

DateTable = 
ADDCOLUMNS (
    CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2023, 10, 1 ), DATE ( 2024, 4, 1 ) ),
    "year", YEAR ( [Date] )
)

2. Add a measure and put it into the card.

RemainingBudget = 
VAR BudgetAmount = 20000000
RETURN
BudgetAmount - SUM('FactTable'[Amount])
