How to perform IN operation using single cell value

[hushijin059]

Hello, I have 2 tables that are not related.

Table 1 has data structure as below:

Product Name	State	City
AAA	TX	Houston
BBB	TX	Dallas
CCC	MN	Minneapolis
DDD	WY	Casper

Table 2 has data structure as below:

Product Groups	State	City	Count
XXX	TX, MS, FL	Houston, Dallas, Jackson, Miami	2
YYY	NY, MA, CT	Albany, Boston, Hartford	0
ZZZ	MN, MO, MI	Minneapolis, St. Louis, Detroit	1

In Table 2, I want to add a calculated column that can count how many rows of data in Table 1 that has State column data contained in Table 2 State column and City column data contained in City column in Table 2. I'm expecting result as shown in the Count column.

I'm trying to use the IN operator 

Calculate(Count(Table1[Product Name]), Table1[State] IN {EARLIER(Table2[State])}, Table1[City] IN {EARLIER(Table2[City])})

But it returns an error on EARILIER function. I also tried to use LOOKUPVALUE instead of EARLIER to look up current row value in Table 2 state and city column, but it won't recognize the result as a list even if I put a "{}" around it. Also tried to create a temp table that only return a single row of that table by matching product ID, then use VALUES to extract the state column from the temp table, but it returns an error saying the temp table is not recognized. 

Any help is appreciated!

@hushijin059 add a new column in Table 2 using the following expression,

Count Col = 
VAR __City = Table2[City]
VAR __State = Table2[State]
RETURN
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Table1' ),
    CONTAINSSTRING ( __City, 'Table1'[City] ),
    CONTAINSSTRING ( __State, 'Table1'[State] )
) + 0
