    Hi MhdMur ,
    Based on your description, and based on my understanding, if there are duplicate values in Table II, I'm not quite sure if you need to count all Table I values that appear in Table II, or just how many unique Table I values appear in Table II i.e. de-duplicated. You can try the following two methods.
    Here are my test data:

    1. Calculate contains duplicate values

    Count of Customer ID in Table 1 = 
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Table1',
            NOT(ISBLANK('Table1'[Table1 customer ID]))
                &&
            CALCULATE(
                COUNTROWS('Table2'),
                FILTER(
                    'Table2',
                    'Table2'[Table2 customer ID] = 'Table2'[Table2 customer ID]
                )
            ) > 0
        )
    )

    2. Calculate without duplicates

    Count = COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Table1',
            NOT(ISBLANK(
                LOOKUPVALUE(
                    'Table2'[Table2 customer ID],
                    'Table2'[Table2 customer ID],
                    'Table1'[Table1 customer ID]
                )
            )
        )
    )
    )



    Best regards
