@Anonymous , You can create a flag like this

in table 1

a new column =

var _cnt = countx(filter(Table1, Table1[employee] = table2[Employee]) , Table2[Employee])

return

if(isblank(_cnt), "No", "Yes")

refer 4 ways (related, relatedtable, lookupvalue, sumx/minx/maxx with filter) to copy data from one table to another

Hello, it worked! but where to add a another filter for date? Since in my table there is a month column. What happens is it marked as yes because it exists on the other table but that was for different month. Even if the table1 have the employee and doesnt exist on table2 for the month of November it is print yes.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please have a try.

Create a measure.

measure =
VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table2[month] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( table1 ),
            table1[employee] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table2[employee] )
                && table1[month] <> SELECTEDVALUE ( table2[month] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( _1 < 1, "No", "Yes" )
