Create a visual that compares two tables and highlights the differences

I'm learning Power BI so excuse my inexperience. I have two tables, TableA & TableB. The sources of these two tables are Start.csv & End.csv.  They both have the same columns, Location, Color, Count....

    Hi Mathoosala ,

    I assume in case you are trying to compare counts with Location, Color consistent. try creating these measures:

    Count A = SUM('TableA'[Count])
    Count B = 
VAR __cur_location = SELECTEDVALUE('TableA'[Location])
VAR __cur_color = SELECTEDVALUE('TableA'[Color])
VAR __result = CALCULATE(SUM('TableB'[Count]),'TableB'[Location]=__cur_location && 'TableB'[Color]=__cur_color)
RETURN
__result
    Measure = IF([Count A]<>[Count B],"yellow")

    Please apply [Measure] to the background conditional formatting of each field of the table visual.

    Best Regards,
    Gao

Not sure I follow what you are asking. My thought was to somehow add the Count column from TableB to TableA and then if the Count is different, highlight the row.

Is the location the primary key, or the color? If you ask what is different you must also define what stays the same.
