Comparing two tables vertically and display the difference

I have two datasets, one with projected numbers and one with actual numbers. The team requested for a dashboard to be built to compare the two but stacked vertically and with the differences displayed beneath.

Some thing like the screenshot below.

 

I'm able to join the two datasets together with based on the Selection column values but can only seem to figure out how to display the values and differences side by side rather than vertically. Is there a way to do this in Power BI?

 

  • Hi qazz12 
    You can achieve this layout using disconnected table of all variations of 
    Categories + projection and actual and dynamic measure. 
    The logic is very similar to p&l statements.
