    I have created a solution in Excel based Power Query which you can download from https://1drv.ms/x/s!Akd5y6ruJhvhujd-m0li-RwWbFUS?e=hB3NG1 

    This is the output query

    let
        Source = Table.NestedJoin(Table1, {"EmpID"}, Table2, {"EmpID"}, "Table2", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
        #"Expanded Table2" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Table2", {"Action", "Termdate"}, {"Action", "Termdate"}),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Table2", "DateDiff", each Number.RoundDown(Duration.Days([Termdate]-[Servicedate])/(365/12),0)),
        #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "DateDiff/12", each [DateDiff]/12)
    in
        #"Added Custom1"

    Check your solution in DAX:

     

     

    Output =
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            SUMMARIZE(
            'Table 1',
            'Table 1'[Empid],
            'Table 1'[status],
            'Table 1'[Servicedate]
            ),
            "Action", LOOKUPVALUE('Table 2'[Action],'Table 2'[Empid],'Table 1'[Empid]),
            "Date Diff", DATEDIFF( [Servicedate], LOOKUPVALUE('Table 2'[Termdate],'Table 2'[Empid],'Table 1'[Empid]),MONTH)
        ),
           "DateDiff/12", DIVIDE([Date Diff] , 12,0)
    )

        MahamoodBi you're trying to create a measure with a DAX code that results a table.

         

        Instead of New measure choose New table and copy the DAX code.

    Hi MahamoodBi

     

    you can merge these 2 tables into 1 in Power Query (merge tables using empid)

    in DAX calculated column

    DATEDIFF (DATE1, DATE2, MONTH) /12
    Thanks & Regards,
