Add a Budget Line or Bar in Bar Chart

I have a bar chart with data from the last six months the actual amount spending.

I have another table with the budget amount for this year.


How can I create a chart that includes the upcoming year's budget? either in a line or bar next to the actual amount spent.

Please find the sample file as attached.

Hi @Amos_Lim 
You can create a date table and, create relationships between master and budget by date via this table.

Then you can use a combo graph with the date from the date table on the axis
