Countif equivalent in Power BI

Hello.  I have a column in TableA that is a concatenate of two fields:  ProductID and CountryID.  In TableB, I have another column that is also a concatenate of ProductID and CountryID.  I am looking for a formula that would tell me if a record in this column in TableA, has an equivalent to a record in the column in TableB.  In excel I would use a Countif, 0 meaning no record, and 1 (or more) if there were more records. And then I would probably nest that with an IF function so that it could just be true or false.

How can I sort this in DAX?

Thank you!

I ended up doing this, but I feel it's a bit convulted.  I couldn't get the above solutions to work.

Match record = if(ISBLANK(lookupvalue(TableB[check], TableB[check], TableA[Check])),"No record", "Record")

Hi @Unicorn_Tech 

An example based on sample data with the expected result would help understanding the requirement. Try this:

1. Place TableA[Column1] in a table visual

2. Create this measure and palce it in the visual:

Measure =
IF (
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( TableB[Column1] ),
        TREATAS ( SELECTEDVALUE ( TableA[Column1] ), TableB[Column1] )
    ) > 0,
    TRUE (),
    FALSE ()
)

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.
