Hello tod@s
Please, I need your help, I have two tables, the first named "System" and the second named "Manual", both tables have a column called "Aux", where in both some data are repeated, I need through a custom column in Power Query, search for the data of the table "System" in the table "Manual" through the column "Aux", in case I find the values I need to place a new column called "Status" in the "System" table that indicates "Do not add" if you find otherwise "Add".
Attached pbix drive. so they can access the editor.

Try with the formula you indicate in the link, but there is something I must be doing wrong, because it throws me all the rows like "do not add"
This is the code you enter
= Table.AddColumn(#"Merged column inserted", "Custom", each let
_col = [Aux],
_tabla = Table.SelectRows(MANUAL,each [Aux]),
_condicion = if _tabla = _col then "add" else "do not add"
in
_condicion)
Please if you can help me correct, maybe the whole code this evil
