    Hi Anonymous ,

    If you want to show the changed fields in a visual, here's my solution.

    Sample:

    Table1

    Table2

    The two tables are related with the compared column.

    Create a measure.

    Check =
IF ( MAX ( 'Table2'[Column] ) <> MAX ( 'Table1'[Column] ), 1, 0 )

    Put table2 in a visual, and put the measure in the visual filter, then set its value to 1.

    After click Apply filter, get the correct result.

    I attach my sample below for your reference.
