Calculated column checking if value exists in another table

Hi,

 

I have 2 different tables

1st Table :  14000 names

2 nd table : 25000 names

I would like to add a column to 2nd Table : True if same value as 1st table , False for missing value

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I do agree with @BITomS if your absolutely need:want to do it in DAX.

My solution would be using a merge in Power Query between both tables.

Let us know if you need more details
