Calculate with pivot tables

Hello Everyone!

 

I want to do something in PBI wich is simple in excel, I have a database with countries and troops sent from the orign to a destination, the idea is that I want to know how many troops each country sent and how many retun in the same direction, 

For example Germany sent to India 15, and India returned 12, so the result will be 2 troops which are pending to retun to germany

I created two regular tables, but I dont know how to do the result table which is the difference between the two regular pivot tables above

 

Database:

This is the data form one week so I want to see the result each week

@Anonymous,

 

You may add a calculated column first.

Column =
LOOKUPVALUE (
    Table1[Troops],
    Table1[Destination], Table1[Origin],
    Table1[Origin], Table1[Destination]
)
