Calculated Measure to show in Column
I am new to Power BI and apologize in advance. I've done some research and reached out to the consultant; however, it seems it may not be possible. I had to create a measure for GROSS PROFIT as below, add to the matrix, and turn on the "Show in Row" option because I could not get it to show in a regular matrix as a row. Then I had to create the same measures for the prior year and the same for variances. I also realized I couldn't get the current year, prior year, and variances in the same matrix, so I created 3 matrices and put them side by side.
Is there a better way to accomplish this so I have the current year, prior year, and the variances for the P&L categories in one matrix? Thanks for your help.

rhayami you should be able to use all 3 measures in the same matrix, just drop the measure on the values section, if you have turned on show on rows, all 3 will show on rows.

Yes, they will be in the same matrix, but all stacked in 1 row, which is not the ideal outcome we are looking for. The current year's figures in 1 colum, prior year's figures in the column next to it, then the variances in the last column.
if you have show on rows turned on, it will be on rows, not on columns. Looks like I'm not following your question.
