Hi Team,
I am currently working in Power BI to see the variance in Matrix table for Actuals vs Budget and Actuals vs Forecast. as per the below screenshot for sample data.
I am attaching herewith the sample data for the resolution.
I have all the view but only left with the variances.
View required in Power BI.
Looking for a DAX query so that I will be able to get the Variance with this data set. If there would be any other suggestion so please let me know.
Data Set
Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi @rsharma81 - Calculate variances between Actuals vs Budget and Actuals vs Forecast in a Power BI Matrix table, you need to create measures that calculate these variances.
create measures for each, like actual , budget and forcast
Actual =
CALCULATE(
SUM(SalesData[Amount]),
SalesData[Scenario] = "Actual"
)
Variance =
[ActualAmount] - [BudgetAmount]
or
adjust the totals from format column subtotals as highlighted
