Error: A single value for column in table cannot be determined

I have 2 columns I need to compare.
They are from 2 separate tables.
Trying to display a mismatch.
However I get the following error:

A single value for column 'Intune Owner Email' in table 'users' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.

When I apply the following as a calculated column:

Mismatch = if(MAXX(FILTER('Monthly Billing','Monthly Billing'[Tangoe Owner Email]=users[Intune Owner Email]),'Monthly Billing'[Tangoe Owner Email])=users[Intune Owner Email],"No","Yes")

Intune Owner Email is from the users table.

Tangoe Owner Email wis from the Monthly Billing table.

I need a column or measure that compares the 2 columns and displays mismatches in a separate column on my dashboard..sample below. 

 

Intune Owner Email              Tangoe Owner Email

[email protected] [email protected]

Mismatch = if(MAXX(FILTER('Monthly Billing','Monthly Billing'[Tangoe Owner Email]=users[Intune Owner Email]),'Monthly Billing'[Tangoe Owner Email])=users[Intune Owner Email],"No","Yes")

 

I get the following error:

    Anonymous Without sample data and relationships, hard to be certain but that DAX looks way off. Perhaps you mean something like the following:

    Mismatch = 
      IF(
        'Monthly Billing'[Tangoe Owner Email]=RELATED(users[Intune Owner Email]),"No","Yes")

      As a Calculated Column and as a Measure,the same error appears:
