    You should be able to do this with your existing tables with a measure like the following:

     

    In Table1 missing in Table2 = 
IF( HASONEVALUE(Table1[OrderID]), 
  Var _table1OrderID = MAX(Table1[OrderID])
  Var _table2RowsWithTable1ID = CALCULATETABLE(Table2, TREATAS({_table1OrderID},Table2[OrderID]))
  Var _countOfMIssingRows = COUNTROWS(_table2RowsWithTable1ID)
  return IF(_countOfMissingRows = 0,"Missing")
)

     

    Returns a result like this

Thanks!

So technically I think you'll find that the extra spaces are in the source tables, not added by DirectQuery, but I understand what the issue is and I'm glad you found the solution. :)
