Filter table based on another table

Hi,

 

I would like to filter numbers out based on if they exist in another table.

 

Example given.

 

Table 1 consist 

ID     Text Field

 

Table 2 consist 

ID

 

 

I'd like to filter Table 1, removing all the rows where the number from Table 2 ID exist.

 

I've tried by making a new table with Column = EXCEPT(VALUES(Table1[ID]);VALUES(Table2[ID])) 

 

Which gives me a new table that filters perfectly. however I need to keep my second column "Text Field".

 

Any ideas?

@Anonymous,

Use the DAX below instead.

Table = CALCULATETABLE(Table1;EXCEPT(VALUES(Table1[ID]);VALUES(Table2[ID])))

@v-yuezhe-msft  I am trying to do something similar, but do not want to build another table.  Instead, I want to calculate measures based on the filter that will be visualized on a matrix in a report. For example:

Table A

IDCostRevenue
1124
1235
1337
14511

 

Table B (discontinuation)

ID
11
12

 

Matrix on report:

 Before DiscAfter Disc
Total Cost138
Total Revenue2718

 

Any recommendations?  Thank you!!

What if I want to keep the values in table 2 and filter out the remaining values from table 1?

I believe you can use INTERSECT instead of EXCEPT
