Can I create a column that will flag transactions which contain a specific product?

Hello,

 

How can I create a column that will flag (Y/N) transactions which contain a specific product? I want to be able to use this column as a filter in the reports.

 

Thank you in advance!

@my2quarters Maybe:

Column =
  VAR __Trans = [Transaction Number]
  VAR __TransTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table',[Transaction Number]=__Trans),"__Product",[Product Name])
RETURN
  IF("SPECIAL PRODUCT" IN __TransTable,"Y","N")
