Count occurrences

I have two tables, a project table and a task table.  The project table contains 6 different projects. The task table contains any project that has a task. I would like to create a measure that calculates the total count of all tasks associated with each project name on the Project Table. Projects that do not have a task(currently not on the task table) should be assigned a 0 . For example Water works has two tasks because it has "task A" & "Task B" but Moon has 0 because it is not on the Task table. My desired outcome is at the bottom

 

Project Table

Samsung

TASK TABLE

Water worksB

@dw700d , One is you can join project and task table on project name and create a measure

 

count(Task[Task])+0

 

And display it with project name from project

 

or create a new column in project

tasks = countx(filter(Task, task[project name] = project[project name]) , Task[Task]) +0
