Measure based on selected multiple values

[OnlyPhilip]

Hi everybody, I have a calculated column that, to be used in a visual, should return either:

- 1 if the value of a different column of the same table is found selected in a slicer or table. Note that the slicer might have multiple values selected;

- BLANK if not

I'm trying with this, but it doesn't work:

Calculated column in Table1 = 
IF(
    Table1[Column1] IN VALUES(Table2[Batch]),
    1,
    BLANK()
)

 where Table2 is the one whose values are "sliced".

Thanks
Phil

@OnlyPhilip - Calculated columns cannot be dynamic based upon user interaction. You will need to create a measure.

Thanks @Greg_Deckler 

I'll try to adapt my code using a measure then.  Could you give me a hint on how to make a similar IF statement in a measure?

How can I check, one by one so to take the appropriate action, the presence of multiple selected values against another list of values?

@OnlyPhilip  - It's difficult to say exactly given the current information but maybe something like:

Measure = 
VAR __Table = ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"Column",
IF(
    Table1[Column1] IN VALUES(Table2[Batch]),
    1,
    BLANK()
)
)
RETURN
  SUMX(__Table,[Column])
