@Anonymous , Try a new column in table 1

new column =
var _cnt =countx(filter(Table2,table1[ID] = table2[ID] ),Table2[Code])+0

return
switch(true(),
_cnt=0, "category3"
,_cnt=1, "category1"
,"category2")

Hi @Anonymous , try this

 

Category = 
var __cnt = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Tab2[Code]), FILTER(Tab2, Tab2[ID] = Tab1[ID]))
return
SWITCH(TRUE(),
__cnt >=2, "Category 1", __cnt=1, "Category 2", "Category 3")

 

Hope this helps

David
