    Hi Keropi79 ,

     

    If you have such a fact table, you can use ± to mark income and expenses.

    Then, you can create a calculated table.

    Table = 
    VAR Margin =  
    ROW(
        "Amount (USD)", "Margin",
        "Actual", CALCULATE( SUM(Sheet5[Actual]), ALL(Sheet5) ),
        "Budget", CALCULATE( SUM(Sheet5[Budget]), ALL(Sheet5) ),
        "Var", BLANK()
    )
    RETURN
    UNION(
        Sheet5,
        Margin
    )

    The same is true for the row ‘Margin%’. I don't know your mathematical calculation logic so I can't calculate it for you.
