Calculate the difference between two columns in a matrix when each row is a measure.

Hello,

 

I'm working on a matrix in Power BI that compares transaction types ACTUAL vs FORECAST.  Each row is it's own calculated measure.  Is there any possible way to create a difference column? 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Due to the fact that the measures used different figures in their calculations (volumes, revenue, etc.), I determined that it was not possible to achieve what I needed to via a matrix.  I had to resort using cards with visual level filters for each field.  It worked, but it took a long time to construct.

Besides, for more advice, please post some dummy data of source dataset table.

Hi,

 

I am not sure if that is possible.  I depends upon the data layout.  If you could share your PBI file, i can take a look.
