    bzeeblitz Open your Power BI report and select the table visual where you want to add the NOACTIONED column.
    Click on the "Modeling" tab and then "New column" to create a new calculated column.
    Enter the following DAX formula:

    NOACTIONED = IF([TOTALCOUNT] - [ACTION] < 0, 0, [TOTALCOUNT] - [ACTION])

    According to the dataset you passed, you have to use ABS
    NOACTIONED = ABS([TOTALCOUNT] - [ACTION])

     

    Or just to do:

    NOACTIONED = [ACTION] - [TotalCOUNT]

    NOTACTIONED = MAX(0, [TotalCount] - [Action])

    • [TotalCount]-[action]: This part calculates the difference between the two measures [TotalCount] and [action].

    • max(0,..) The max function ensures that if the result of the subtraction is negative, it will return 0  instead of a negative number. Essentially, this function compares 0 with the calculated result, and returns the larger of the two. So, if the difference is negative, it will return 0 , and if it's positive, it will return the actual difference.
