Hi,
I’m trying to create a chart that compares Actual Revenues and Expenses to Budgeted Revenues and Expenses. I’m using Variance to Budget % = [Actual]-[Budget)/abs[Actual].
If Actual Revenue is greater than Budgeted Revenue, I want to show a positive variance. However, if Actual Expenses is greater than Budgeted Expenses I need to show a negative variance, so I need to reverse the signs of my formula depending on whether or not I’m calculating a Revenue or Expense variance %.
I have a column [Category] that classifies whether or not the amount is a Revenue or Expense. I’m trying to solve for this by using the following IF statement:
Variance to Budget % = IF(or([Actual]=0,[Budget]=0),
BLANK(),
If ([Category] = “Total Revenue”, ([Actual]-[Budget])/abs([Actual])),
, ([Actual]-[Budget])/abs([Actual])),*-1)
I get the following error:
Any suggests as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Replace [category] with selectedvalue(tablename[category]). but the total won't work here. I am not sure how you are going about this, but you may benefit from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojHZkWkEY7Q/
As an aside, you should always add the table name before the column name (although this is not the issue causing the problem). https://exceleratorbi.com.au/best-practices-power-pivot-power-query-power-bi/
