    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    (1) We can create a calculated column.

    Column = IF('Fact Table'[region]=RELATED('Dimension table'[region]),1,0)

    (2)We can create a measure. 

    Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Fact Table'[Column])==BLANK(),0,1)

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

Thanks for your explanation, did you get an error when creating column? Actually there is always an error when I create a column like that, it says parameter is not the correct type

Hi Anonymous ,

 

You should create calculated columns and measures on the fact table, as shown in my picture.
