These TSQL tables are exact but I can’t guarantee that. I cannot guarantee which rows will be non-existent in either table.
What I want to be able to do is to subtract one from the other into a new table. For instance, “Agg Asslt” should have a column value for “OffenseCount” of 6. However, “Theft Veh” should be -25. If a row does not exist in one or the other table, I will be either subtracting 0 or subtracting from 0. These are always integers. I hope this makes sense. If the row does not exist in either table, the point is moot. Thank you in advance.

Answer
You seem to want a full join
:
select coalesce(t1.offense, t2.offense), coalesce(t1.count, 0) - coalesce(t2.count, 0) from table1 t1 full join table2 t2 on t1.offense = t2.offense
