    Hi ndeshpande 

    You could add it as a new column:

     

    Match_Found_Col =
VAR cl = [Client_name]
VAR sl = [Send_location]
VAR rl = [Receive_location]
VAR c =
    COUNTROWS (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( ClientOrders ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( ClientOrders ),
                [Send_location] = sl
                    && [Receive_location] = rl
                    && [Client_name] <> cl
            )
        )
    ) + 0
RETURN
    IF ( c > 0, TRUE (), FALSE () )

     


    Or as a measure:

     

    Match_Found_Mes =
VAR cl =
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( ClientOrders[Client_name], 1 )
VAR sl =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( ClientOrders[Send_location], "123" )
VAR rl =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( ClientOrders[Receive_location], "123" )
VAR c =
    COUNTROWS (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( ClientOrders ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( ClientOrders ),
                [Send_location] = sl
                    && [Receive_location] = rl
                    && [Client_name] <> cl
            )
        )
    ) + 0
RETURN
    IF ( c > 0, TRUE (), FALSE () )

     

     

    Cheers

ndeshpande you can try following method

 

Add new column and measure and measure will return true/false

 

Receive and Send Column = 'Table'[Receive_location] & 'Table'[Send_location]


Is Exist Measure = 
VAR __current = VALUES ( 'Table'[Receive and Send Column] )
VAR __client = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Client_name] )
VAR __other = CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Receive and Send Column] ), ALL ( 'Table'[Receive and Send Column] ), 'Table'[Client_name] <> __client )
VAR __isExist = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), INTERSECT ( __other, __current ) ) + 0
RETURN
IF ( __isExist = 0, "False", "True" )

    Thanks for the quick response, I was thinking I'll probably need to convert the measure to a column. However the combining the relevant separate column values into a single colum was a great idea because it will simplify my searches later on. 

     

    Thank you!
