Single Projected Value vs. Multiple Actual Spend

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create a budget dashboard that has one clustered bar graph that will show:

 

1) Total spend vs. budgeted amount (year, quarter, month, day via drill down menu)

 

I have two excel sheets in the sytem. The first is the amount that I have spent on which days and the second is the amount of budget I have for each month. 

 

My issue with the clustered graph is that the budget amount always shows as the sum of all of the budgeted amounts I've input for the year no matter what option I select for the drill down. What I would like is for the budgetted amount bar to display the budgetted amount for the time period selected via the drill down menu.

 

In an ideal scenario: 

If I were to drill down to months, I would have for January, spent bar = 30 and budgetted bar = 50, for February, spent bar = 54 and budgetted bar = 50, etc. 

If I were to drill down to quarters, I would have Q1, spent bar = 115 and budgetted bar = 120, etc. 

 

Lastly, I was wondering if there was a simple way to adjust this to a fiscal year calendar so that the Q1 2024 is changed to Q2 2024 (Fiscal) and Q4 2024 is changed to Q1 2025 (Fiscal) and everything in between. One thought was to create a column that the date spent column and moves it 3 months earlier however, this would make it inaccurate if I were to drill down to months and days.

 

Thanks in advanced!
