New to power bi - subtract one column number from count of text occurrence

Hi hope you can help - I know the title doesnt make much sense but can I try and explain?
I have one column in my table in power bi that contains  76 diffferent words and i have set up meaures to count instances of those words to add to reports. So for example

 

 

TaskAllNot DueDue
Blabla110
Blabla110
Blabla110
Blabla110
Blabla101
Blabla101
Blabla101
Blabla101
Blabla101

 

So i made a measure which counts the instances of blabla

Blabla = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Tablename), Tablename [Task] = "Blabla" )
 
Which is fine but I need to only count BlaBlas where the taskm is due and ignore the ones where it is not due? Am i able to add anything to the formula that would take column "not due" from column "All"
 
Any help would be great i am v new to this!

Thanks

You can try the following:

 

CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Tablename), Tablename [Task] = "Blabla" &&Tablename [ALL]>0))

thanks @gadielsolis and @Dangar332 !

Just so I can try and make sure its right then and give a bit more detail the table fully looks like below and I only want to count blablas in the all column as the data I have been provided wiht seems to court this all up already - are the measures you posted still right? Sorry should have gone into more details first time 😞 basically the all column doesnt court anything that is Not Yet Due - thankyou in advance!!!

 

Descpription    All   Not Due    Due    Over-due    Escalated  
Blabla01000
Blabla11000
Blabla05000
Blabla50005
Blabla510550

hi, @WEARLE 

can you elaborate your requirnment from above table

You can try the following:

 

CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Tablename), Tablename [Task] = "Blabla" &&Tablename [ALL]>0))

Hi - me again sorry - so this works but it only counts the task as 1 even if the value in ALL is higher. So I need it count as 3 tasks if the value in ALL is 3. For example:

 

Task  All  Not Due  Due  Overdue  Escalated  
Bla30300
Bla03000
Bla20200
Bla50005
Bla15100

 

So it seems that 

CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Tablename), Tablename [Task] = "Blabla" &&Tablename [ALL]>0))

is only counting the task once even if the value in ALL is 3?

Sorry - i would be eternaly grateful for any more help! 🙂

 

Thanks
