Take values of two columns in one new column (new measure)

Dear Power BI community,

 

I am seeking for your support regarding the following question:

 

I have two columns:

 

* Column 1 with actual sales

* Column 2 with budget sales

* Both stored in a table showing these values per week

 

I want to create a third column (Column 3 - Calculated Sales) as a new measure which should contain the value per week from column 1. If this column does not have a value, the value should be taken from column 2. 

 

Can someone help me with the DAX formula to be used? 

 

Below a screenshot of the desired output:

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

You can add as a Column 

Calculated Sales= IF( ISBLANK(Table[Actual Sales]) , Table[Budget Sales] , Table[Actual Sales])
