    Hi carlottaf ,

    If your original budget calculation formula is similar to sum('table'[budget), you can try to update the measure for budget as below. I just create a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether it is OK...

    budget =
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[field on Rows option] )
        && ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[field on Columns option] ),
    BLANK (),
    SUM ( 'Table'[campaigns] )
)

    If the above one is not working for your scenario, could you please provide the Fields pane setting of your matrix? Which field be put on Rows option? It is better if you can provide your simplified pbix file(exclude sensitive info). Thank you.

    Best Regards

Hi Anonymous !

 

I already tried this, but as you can see in the picture I posted, I was able to hide the column Budget for the months but the rows now have a very high height.

Is there a way to avoid it?

Thanks,

Carlotta.

      Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
      Yes the calculation is something like sum('table'[budget). 
      I will try your solution and let you know if this solves my problem.

      If the problem persists, I will attach the pbix file.

      Thanks again,
      Carlotta.
