I'm trying to add the total budget to my dashboard and not sure how to do this. I've uploaded my excel sheet which shows expenses, but how can I include the total annual budget to compare the expenses against the reminaing balance?

Hi @olliehernandez ,
Thanks to @PhilipTreacy reply.
Below is an example you can refer to, which will return the total and phased surplus as of the selected date
Sample data
Create measures
Total Budget = TOTALYTD(SUM('Table'[Budget]),'Table'[Date])Total Expenses = TOTALYTD(SUM('Table'[Expenses]),'Table'[Date])Total surplus = [Total Budget] - [Total Expenses]
Final output
Alternatively, you can use KPI visualization to display

Did you mean to attach an Excel file?
