Hi @nb790410 

Create a separate dimensions table that contains a complete list of IDs and relate that to the two other tables in a one to many single direction relationship

Add the column from the dimension table to a visual. Create this measure and add it to the visual as well.

Test = 
DISTINCTCOUNT ( T1[ID] ) + DISTINCTCOUNT ( T2[ID] )

Apply conditional background conditional formatting to the ID column based on the value of the measure above
