Is it possible to compare  distinct column values 'PrimeMinister' column values with other 3 columns, and if any of the values match, can we flag it?

Hi @DeeMag ,

 

Please create a calculated column like this.

Flag = 
VAR _table =
    UNION (
        DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Chief Minister] ),
        DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Deputy] ),
        DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Manager] )
    )
VAR _result =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        'Table'[PrimeMinister] = ""
            || ISBLANK ( 'Table'[PrimeMinister] ), 0,
        'Table'[PrimeMinister] IN _table, 1,
        0
    )
RETURN
    _result
