Hey everyone,
I have two columns of ids that are from two different reports, I know for sure that there are more values in one column than the other but I want to know which are the Ids that aren't present in the other column and which ones are present.(I have thousands of these ids I want to compare, is there a query that can compare all the values one by one from both columns and match and provide an output)?
Data example:
Column1
905443 |
962910 |
963037 |
964534 |
964591 |
905463 |
964586 |
991158 |
964528 |
961843 |
961877 |
961869 |
Column2
994177 |
908419 |
908615 |
908395 |
908396 |
908402 |
908402 |

Hi @Anonymous
For the ones present in the first but not on the second column, create a new, one-column calculated table:
NewTable = EXCEPT ( DISTINCT ( Table1[Coulmn1] ), DISTINCT ( Table2[Coulmn2] ) )

The unique values are from the first table in the EXCEPT( )
EXCEPT(Table1, Table2 ) gives you the values that are present in Table1 but not present in Table2. You can simply do
EXCEPT(Table2, Table1 ) if you want the values present in Table2 but not present in Table1

Hey thank you for your prompt response, I have already tried that but it shows "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected". Thoughts?
You've probably done something differently. Change the name of Column2 in table 2 to Column 1. Both columns in the expect should have the same name. From what I see there are no numbers in Table 2 present in Table1 in your example
See it all at work in the attached file.

@AlB Thank you for the attached file, It worked, the only issue now is that I do not know if the unique values are from table 1 or table 2, hopefully that works when I sync the slicers from those tables.Thank you.
Kind Regards,

The above post column 1 & column 2 were just sample data, I have column values mathcing other column values. I tried changing the names to same names but it did not work either.
Can one of the reason be that because lets say a value is in row 1 in column 1 and the value matching that value in column 2 is in row 223, could that be the reason? or does the formula check iteratively for all the values if they are matching or not?
