Subtract the value of a measure by the value of a column

Hey 🙂
I have a table with the following structure:

Sector  Budget   Year
AAA 6.000 2021
BBB 13.000 2021
CCC 8.000 2021


I also have a measure that calculates the total sum of expenses for each sector (this data coming from another table).
I want a measure that do the Budget - Total Spent, for each Sector,  but I don't know how to subtract the value of a column by a measure.


Can someone help me?

Hi @Anonymous 

I think you can subtract the value of a measure by the value of a column by another measure.

Here I build a sample.

Budget Table:

Expense Table:

Expense measure:

Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Expense[Expense] ),
    FILTER (
        Expense,
        Expense[ Year] = MAX ( Budget[ Year] )
            && Expense[Sector  ] = MAX ( Budget[Sector  ] )
    )
)
Expense = 
SUMX(Budget,[Measure])

Subtract measure:

Result = SUM(Budget[Budget  ]) - [Expense]

Result is as below.

@Anonymous ,

You need to have a common sector and year/date table , Joining back with these tables

 

Using the common table you can analyze data together (Measure from both tables)

 

Sector Table = distinct(union(distinct(Budget[Sector]),distinct(Actual[Sector])))

In case your data are at a different level
