    Anonymous if these are columns, add the new column using the following expression, based on your expression, looks like these are columns.

     

     

    New Column = 
SWITCH ( TRUE(),
Table[Allocation Requested] = Table[Allocation Actual], "Allocation Match",
Table[Allocation Requested] < Table[Allocation Actual], "Over allocated",
"Requested too high"
)

    Those are columns, my idea is to create a table in my report which show the values from those two column and include a third clumn in that table, which will show whether there is an allocation match, over allocation or requested too high. Just like the second screen shot in the post (allocation is a measure there).
