First , you need to extract the last num in your Pd-id column . Create a calculated column :
Column = RIGHT('Table'[Pd-id],1)Change data type of the column to whole number .
Then create a calculated column to compare the First column value and Next column last num .
Result = IF('Table'[Column]='Table'[ID],TRUE,false)You will get a result like this :

Try to add a new column with the code below:
Result=
IF(CONTAINSSTRING([id], [pd-id]), TRUE, FALSE)
