New Column creation

I want to create new column using 2 columns with if condition wherer in one column among these 2 source columns is created bby adding 3 measures and 1 column. So my column should be, IF('Column1' = 'Column2', "True", "False").  Once I create this column and press enter, instead of executing the column creation, it shows "Column =". So why column is not getting created.

@Anonymous , when a column is used in a dax, the table name has to be mentioned. Currently, expression in IF statement is to compare tables named column 1 and column 2.

No, actually I am not writing DAX to create this column. I am using "New column" to create it.
