    You have to filter out the rows containing "in transit":

    try:

    Table differences =
VAR receiving1 =
    SUMMARIZE (
        Receiving,
        Receiving[ItemID],
        Receiving[Description],
        Receiving[Item Type],
        "QT", SUM ( Receiving[Quantity])
    )
VAR sending1 =
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER(
        Sending, Sending[Status] <> "In transit"),
        Sending[ItemID],
        Sending[Description],
        Sending[Item Type],
        "QT", SUM ( Sending[Quantity (all)] )
    )
VAR OnlyRec =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( EXCEPT ( receiving1, sending1 ), "From table", "Receiving" )
VAR OnlySend =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( EXCEPT ( sending1, receiving1 ), "From table", "Sending" )
RETURN
    UNION ( OnlyRec, OnlySend )

I take it the "QT" are columns from the table. If you are using a matrix, use measures instead (leave the column bucket empty),  or try a table visual instead of a matrix.
You can also "hide" a column in a visual by dragging the boundary, but you need to turn off word-wrap and maybe auto-width in the formatting pane.
