Calculation Group with 2 Base Measures (Actuals & Budgets) for 1 Matrix

I am attempting to create a visual that uses a calulation group using 2 separate values (Actual & Budget) from 2 different tables. From researching, I am not sure what the best way to approach this is.

 

The attached picture shows what it looks like if I just create the measures separately, however I am attempting to dynamically switch between measures such as Expense, Labor, Revenue, etc, but also interact with budgets which come from a separate table. What is the correct way to approach this?

Here is an example of what I am trying to accomplish (albeit this only references columns based off actuals and does not include budget comparisons).

EDIT: Solved: After research, it appears there is no way to do this. I ultimately just created measures for each type (Expense, Labor, Revenue) and used bookmarks to overlay each other.

have you looked at field parameters?  might make more sense to do that?

If I took the time to answer your question and I came up with a solution, please mark my post as a solution and /or give kudos freely for the effort 🙂 Thank you!

I am using field parameters to select the different measures already. I have a screenshot showing "Measure Selector" of it. What I am trying to accomplish is to include budgets comparisons (different table). Any idea how to integrate that?
