Would like to ask for advise on the P&L - Budget vs Actual I need for our dashboard.
I need to show the bottom totals as "Total Cost of Goods Sold" (Income - Cost of Good Sold) and the total % of plan is (amount/budget amount).
is there anyway i can customize the bottom total? or can you suggest an alternative to get the calculations i need?
also, is it possible to show in 1 table the same information with the current month and year to date side-by-side?
thanks in advance.
hi @Anonymous
You may try to use ISINSCOPE Function to create a measure, see this blog for details:

Hi @Anonymous ,
take a look at Matt Allington's blog post at https://exceleratorbi.com.au/build-a-pl-with-power-bi/

@FrankAT - Thank you for the link! i was able to do the Plan and Actual Column. the Variance column and % Variance is still giving me a hard time. not sure if it is because it is from 2 different tables.
