False-positives in dataset

Hi all, 

I'm comparing 2 values from two different tables. My data tables comes from two different IT systems reporting in to each their website. 

I'm interested in seeing values that are not present in both tables, which I have succeeded with. It returns about 10-20 values with values that are not present in both IT system. After investigating, these values are present in both systems in some sense, but are just not updated on the IT system yet. 

Is there a way for me, in Power BI, to mark these values as "false positives"? And more importantly, what happens next time I refresh my dataset?

    Hi emilKDIT ,

     

    To my knowledge, since the values which not present in both tables are returned by DAX, they would be changed after the data refreshed. -->Power BI is a "read only" system so it doesn't have the ability to store data beyond a refresh.
