Variance in matrix table
I have the matrix table below. Each of the rows are measures - I've done this by the 'Switch Values to Rows' toggle. I'd like to calculate the variance between Actuals and Forecast is this possible?
My source data is as below. These only show the first few columns but essentially the remaining columns are just the other measures e.g. net sales, COGS

Anonymous , Create a new table with values Actual, forecast and variance , Join it with that column ,
then create a measure like
if(Max(Dim[Actual Vs Forecast]) = "variance", calculate(Sum(Table[Value]), Dim[Actual Vs Forecast]="Actual") - calculate(Sum(Table[Value]), Dim[Actual Vs Forecast]="Forecast") , Sum(Table[Value]) )
use Dim's column [Actual Vs Forecast] in the visual
amitchandak thanks - I don't quite understand what needs to be included in the new table? I want to be able to show the variance for each P&L item in a matrix, is this possible?

EDIT: I've managed to make this work. Is it possible to change the name of the Total comumn to variance?
Thanks
