Well, probably could do something like:

 

Column = 
VAR __id = [ID]
RETURN
MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[ID] = __id && [Author] = "John"),[Area])

Something like that...

Thank you Greg for the solution. As our requirement slightly changed, we ened up creating a measure that returns the same value.

 

Appreciate you help..
