Hi @Anonymous 

Instead of using columns and summarize values, please create 3 measures:

SumOfBudgetHours = Sum('Table'[Monthly Budget Hours ])
SumOfVariance = Sum('Table'[Variance ( act - Bud ) ])
Var %_M = DIVIDE([SumOfVariance], [SumOfBudgetHours],0)

And please add the last one instead of the var %.

@Anonymous , Create measure like

 

Monthly Actual = sum(Table[Monthly Actual Hours])
Monthly Budget = sum(Table[Monthly Budget Hours])

var = [Monthly Actual] -[Monthly Budget]
var %= divide([Monthly Actual] -[Monthly Budget],[Monthly Budget])
