    Anonymous if these are columns, add the new column using the following expression, based on your expression, looks like these are columns.

Hi,

In TableA, write this calculated column formula

Present in TableB = lookupvalue('tableb'[Code],'tableb'[Code],'tablea'[Code])

In TableB, write this calculated column formula

Present in TableA = lookupvalue('tablea'[Code],'tablea'[Code],'tableb'[Code])

Hope this helps.
