I have two tables as shown below. I want to validate and match the values from Product column of table 1 with Product column of Table 2 else it should return “Incorrect Value”.
Instead of creating a lookup table, can this be done through measure? Pls suggest the best option.
Table 1
Ref ID | Product | Category |
2349898729 | WW | Y |
2449898728 | WW | Y |

You can try
Measure =
var _sv = RIGHT(SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Ref ID]),2)
VAR _LU = Calculate( FIRSTNONBLANK( Table 2[Category],0 ) , Table 2[Product] = _sv )
var _CV = Table1(ProductCategory)
RETURN
IF ( _LU = _SV, "Valid", "Incorrect Value" )
