I am trying to create a simple calculation that shows Actual - Budget. Actual and Budget are in the same column and have a scenario field that distinguishes the two. For Example the table looks like this:

 

Scenario     Amount

Actual          $2,000

Actual          $4,000

Budget         $3,000

Budget         $3,000

 

I created a calculated field called Budget Variance that doesn't work:

 

{INCLUDE [Scnro Txt]: Sum(IF [Scnro Txt] = 'ACTUAL' THEN [Sumoflocal Crncy Amt] END)}

-

{INCLUDE [Scnro Txt]: Sum(IF [Scnro Txt] = 'BUDGET' THEN [Sumoflocal Crncy Amt] END)}

 

How can I create a measure that calculates the difference of Actual and Budget?

    Hi Michael,

     

    this alone will work no need to use include

     

    Sum(IF [Scnro Txt] = 'Actual' THEN [Sumoflocal Crncy Amt] END)-

    Sum(IF [Scnro Txt] = 'Budget' THEN [Sumoflocal Crncy Amt] END)

     

    Changed ACTUAL to Actual as like your Data same with budget

     

    This will do the trick

     

    Hope this helps

    plz mark this answer as correct or helpful to close the thread
