    Hi Anonymous ,

    I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

    Method1: Handle it in Power Query Editor:

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtE3NtA3MjAyVtJRMjQAEqZKsTrRSqb65jBRC5CMkVJsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [WeekCommencing = _t, SiteID = _t, StaffNo = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"WeekCommencing", type date}, {"SiteID", Int64.Type}, {"StaffNo", Int64.Type}}),
        #"FilteredTable" =Table.SelectRows( #"Changed Type" , each not List.Contains(#"Table A"[WeekCommencing], [WeekCommencing]))
    in
        #"FilteredTable"

    Method2: Create a calculated column and filter it out using visual-level filter

    Omit = 
    VAR _date =
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table A'[WeekCommencing] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table A', 'Table A'[WeekCommencing] = 'Table B(2)'[WeekCommencing] )
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( ISBLANK ( _date ), 1, 0)

    Best Regards
