Delta DAX formula shows up twice between scenarios? How do I change that?

Hey guys, hopefully I wrote the DAX formula correctly?

First off, I'm just trying to show the delta between actuals and budget (in the filter scenario). But for some reason, the delta is showing up between both the actual and budget column. Any way to correct that so it shows up after budget?

Hi, @alandizzle 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

You may create a measure as below.

Result = 
IF(
    ISINSCOPE('Table'[Scenarios]),
    SUM('Table'[Costs]), 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Costs]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'[Scenarios]),
            'Table'[Scenarios]="Actual"
        )
    )-
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Costs]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'[Scenarios]),
            'Table'[Scenarios]="Budget"
        )
    )
)

Then you may rename the column total of the matrix viusal as 'Delta'.

Your DAX looks ok, but the issue here is the matrix configuration. You are trying to use multiple fields in Values AND something in Columns. You must choose one or the other to avoid the duplication of the Measure in values for every value in the Column.

So, to get around it for your scenario, you just need to create two new measures - one for Actual and one for Budget. You already have this in the Delta formula, just need to copy paste the first bit into a new measure for Actual and the second bit into a new measure for Budget. Then put all three measures (Actual, Budget, Delta) into the Values part of the matrix.
