Power BI desktop create a Calculated Row in Matrix Visualisation

Hi guys, I'm new to PBI Desktop and DAX functions and I'd like to create a calculated row with columns which are the result of subtracting two previous columns. Here is my dataset.

 

Budget TypeAmount 1Amount 2Amount 3Amount 4
Gross50000300002000015000
Spend5000300020001500

 

And I'd the Matrix Visualisation to look like.

 

Budget TypeAmount 1Amount 2Amount 3Amount 4
Gross50000300002000015000
Spend5000300020001500
Net45000270001800013500

 

So the Net = Gross - Spend. Is there an easy wasy to achieve this?

 

Many Thanks.

Please try to create two tables with following DAX formulas.

NetTable = SUMMARIZE( Table1, "Budget", "Net", 
    "Amount1", CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount1] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Gross" ) - CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount1] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Spend" ),
    "Amount2", CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount2] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Gross" ) - CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount2] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Spend" ),
    "Amount3", CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount3] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Gross" ) - CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount3] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Spend" ),
    "Amount4", CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount4] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Gross" ) - CALCULATE( SUM( Table1[Amount4] ), Table1[Budget Type] = "Spend" )
)
