Variance Column for 2 Categories in the Same Measure

Hello,

 

I have 3 measures that I want to show by version (actual and plan), so I use the version as a column and use those 3 measures as values. I need to add columns of variances between actual and plan on the 3 measures. I tried enabling Column Subtotals in the format setting to see if I can change that to variance instead of sum but seems no luck. If I write 3 variance measures and add them to Values section, they will show up under both actual and plan headers and also give wrong values. I want the view as shown below just change Total to variance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😊

@ttt , if you want to show variance only under the total , that is not possible. You have add it as a measure and it will repeat.

 

I have logged an idea for hybrid table, vote for that. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/39773011-hybrid-table

Thanks @amitchandak! I couldn't click on a vote button for some reason.

 

Another way I can think of is to create 9 measures: reduction, in-quarter savings and annualized savings for actual, plan and variance but I also want double heading to make the data easy to digest. Do you know if it's possible to customize the header that way? Thank you so much!
