Compare Plan vs Actuals variance with no dates

Hello, I have checked this site for a few hours now and couldn't find anything, but I need to compare two plan periods (no dates involved), while also incorporating a sum if type formula, I know Power BI does not use sumif but I need something like that. I screenshoted what my data looks like and the goal I have for a table.

Hope, you need something like that

 

Measure =
var a_1= calculate(sum(table[Amount]),all(table[forecast]),table[forecast]="F2019 Plan")
var a_2= calculate(sum(table[Amount]),all(table[forecast]),table[forecast]="F2019 Actual")

return
a_1-a_2

That didn't seem to work, I tried editing the code a little but still not subtracting.
