Comparing 2 different columns and returning specific value

I have 2 different tables with similar value in a specific column, i used "lookupvalue" and did the comparision; however it returns the same compared value if its available and incase the value is not there it returns specific value.

 

My requirement is:  When 2 columns are compared and if the value matches, it should return specfic value, if not, another value
