    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The visual construct in the screenshot in the screenshot with the result you want should be a matrix, and as far as I know, Power BI requires us to add the specified value (like forecast) to the matrix value field before it will generate a subtotal for that specified value. So if we need matrix show subtotal for forecast and actual, we need to add both of them into value field.

     

    According to your statement, the user want is to show forecast subtotal for product right beside the actual subtotal and show forecast subtotal for location below the actual subtotal. I think this is impossible. Due to if Power BI show forecast subtotal for product right beside the actual total, you may create a matrix as my above reply. We can see that we will add forecast and actual in value field. They should be in same level. In matrix values above and below should be in different hierachy levels. This is contradictory to the above.

     

    So Power BI will show forecast subtotal for location right beside the actual subtotal as well.

     

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou
