as read in @rwunderlich Comments this might be interview question and I hope you would have solved that,
For rest of the people:- 

There Are Two ways to do that:-
1. with help of script:-
TableA:
load Employee_Id,Salary From Source;

noconcatenate
TableB:
Load Employeed_Id,Salary,Mod(Salary,'1000') as Mod;

Drop Table A;
After Doing this in script
in set analysis:- Count({<Mod={'1'}>} distinct Employee_Id)

2. You have loaded only TableA in load Editor and after that there is nothing.
In set analysis :- Count({<Employee_Id={"=(Mod(Salary,'1000')=0)"}>}Distinct Employee_Id)

This sounds like an exam or interview question. Rather than just type the answer, I'll offer you some hints and challenge you to do your own research. 

You want the number of employees, that would be Count(Distinct EMPLOYEE_ID).

Mod() returns the remainder of division, so "Mod(SALARY,1000) = 0" would be a SALARY that is a multiple of 1000.

You need to add the set analysis in {} to select only EMPLOYEE_ID where Mod(SALARY,1000) = 0.

Count({} Distinct EMPLOYEE_ID)

@mithunr40  You can just create a flag for all the employees whose salary is less than 1000, something like below:

NoConcatenate
Temp:
Load EmpID,Salary,
if(Salary<1000,1,0) as flag
Inline [
EmpID, Salary
1,2000
2,900
3,4000

];

Exit Script;

Then in the front end you can use the below set expression.

Count(distinct {<flag={1}>}EmpID)
