How do I validate that an ID exists in another table?

Hello All, 

I have a table that has multiple ID in one table. For example, one table will have the ID multiple times with different data. 

IDData_1Data_2
1  
1  
2  
2  
2  

 

The other table is much smaller and only has the ID once. 

IDData_3Data_4
1  
2  
3  
4  
5  


I would just like to return "Yes" if it does. "No" if it doesn't. I would like to do this with a calculated column so I have the ability to filter. 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @eryan123 

 

The @wdx223_Daniel can cover your request with the relation.

You can also create a calculated column with this code in Unique Table:

validate = 
Var _Comm = LOOKUPVALUE('multiple ID'[ID],'multiple ID'[ID],'Unique ID'[ID])
return
if(ISBLANK(_Comm),"No","Yes")

 

Output:
