Hi @VK7,

One of the options is such a calculated column:

In plain text for convenience:

Column C = 
VAR stringToCheck = CONCATENATEX ( Table2, [Column B], "; " )
RETURN CONTAINSSTRING ( stringToCheck, [Column B] )

Column C as Measure = 
VAR currentB = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Column B] )
VAR stringToCheck = MAX ( Table2[Column B] )
RETURN CONTAINSSTRING ( stringToCheck, currentB )
