    Hi dopingcontrol ,

     

    Arul use PIVOT function in Power Query to achieve your goal. This way will transform your data model. If you don't want to transform your table, you can try to create a measure to show difference in Total and rename "Total" by "Diff".

     

    Measure = 
VAR _REVENUE = SUM('Table'[REVENUE])
VAR _ACTUAL = CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[REVENUE]),'Table'[LEVEL] = "Actual")
VAR _Budget = CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[REVENUE]),'Table'[LEVEL] = "Budget")
RETURN
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[LEVEL]),_REVENUE,_ACTUAL - _Budget)

     

    Then create a matrix visual.

    Result is as below.

    Best Regards,
