Help Displaying the ABS of a measure.

Hi All, I have two tables (Actual Deliveries and Forecast Deliveries) I've brought together into a Matrix table below using measures. However, I'd like a card displaying the total Absolute Value for the ABS Var measure between the two Domension Tables.

 

This is the Matrix table:

Looking at this second image below of the column totals,  Var and ABS Var are exactly the same, 40,762. Just wondering how to correct this to be accurate.  

The Var column is calculating correctly but no the ABS Var column. Thx.

Hi,
Simple

Measure=ABS([Measure])

Thanks,
Thennnarasu 

Hi Thennarasu, that made no difference. My DAX is:

Var = [Qty Del]- [Qty Fct]
ABS Var = ABS([Qty Del]-[Qty Fct])
Tot ABS Var = ABS([ABS Var])
 
Interestingly, the Var and ABS Var column totals are exactly the same, per the image above: 40,762 and 40,762.
