Would it be possible to perform a math operation in a Visual Builder Table with counts of a specific field?

For example: Based on the count value of the messages with two different matched query/filter (i.e count of all message with 'Query' as its matched query/filter for one count, and 'Result' as its other matched query/filter for another count, I want to find the remainder from subtracting one overall count over another overall count.

If so, how?

I don't really understand what you're asking there, are you talking about a difference in count between the fields that have "Query" and one that have "Result" ?

Something like that, but I am trying to find the difference between two counts of different queries on one field.
