Creating a new column based on values from two different columns

I have two tables-  Table 1 and Table 2 (refer below tables) . Table 1 has all the customer names and table 2 has a list of selected customers. 

 

I want to create a column in Table 1 with a flag "Y" if the values from Table 2 matches values in Table 1 and if they dont match then the result should be "N"

 

Table 1 

Customers
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H

 

Table 2 

Selected customers
A
B
C

 

Result should be as below - Table 1 with a new column

CustomersNew Column
AY
BY
CY
DN
EN
FN
GN
HN

 

Thanks.

Hi, @anwarbi 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column = 
IF (
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        Table2[Selected customers],
        Table2[Selected customers], [Customers]
    )
        <> BLANK (),
    "Y",
    "N"
)
