How to count the zero usage device?

Hi there,

I'm new to the PowerBi.

I have a device usage table (TableA) with all the devices and monthly usage data.

How can I calculate the number of devices (count) that were no use?

 e.g 2020-01 only, there were two devices (B and C) has no hour use.

if both 2020-01 and 2020-02 are selected, then only one device (B) has no hour use.

  

Device

Month

Use Hours

A

2020-01

    1

A

2020-02

    2

B

2020-01

    0

B

2020-02

    0

C

2020-01

    0

C

2020-02

   1

D

2020-01

   1

D

2020-02

   0

 

I was trying to use Calculate, but PowerBI doesn't allow the caculate function with a measure in the filter section?

 measure_total_use = sum(TableA[Use Hours])

measure_zero_Use_Count = Caculate(distinctcount(TableA[Device], [measure_total_use]=0))

 How to the get the count of no-use device from the table A above?

 I appreciate any help!

    you can try this

    Measure 2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[device]),FILTER(VALUES('Table'[device]) ,[Measure]=0))
