IN operator with variable from concatenatex

Hi all,

 

I want to use the IN operator in a measure to calculate a sum. If I enter the needed criterias directly it works and provides the correct results, e.g.

 

IN {"ABC";"DEF";"GHI";"JKL";"MNO"}
 
ABC-MNO are part of another table and stored in multiple lines each linked to a contract number. Therefore I created a measure using CONCATENATEX to get the needed values. 
 
[CONC]=Calculate(CONCATENATEX(Table1;""""&Table1[KEY1]&"""";";");Table1[Field]="M007")
 
The result of this measure is e.g. "ABC";"DEF";"GHI";"JKL";"MNO" but could also be "ABC";"GHI";"MNO"
 
Using the result of the CONCATENATEX as a variable and put it into the Measure gives back no error message but also no values.
 
sales =
 
var AC =[conc]

RETURN
 
CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[sales]);FILTER(Table2;Table2[AC_key] IN {AC}))
 
 
If I hardcode the variable with "ABC" it works but using hard coded "ABC";"DEF" etc. it does also not work.
 
Any ideas? Where is my mistake? Or is there maybe a better solution?
 
Best regards and thank you!

      amitchandak Thanks for your response and your support! Attached an example of my data structure. Table 1 contains information for different contracts. For each contract I need to calculate the sales that are stored in table 2 based on the entries made under the different FIELDCOMB. So for Num 1 I need the sales from table 2 where O004=AA and C001 = 123456 and O002 =ABC etc. And for Num 2 I need the sales where O002=ABC and C001=234567 and also C001 = 123456 and M007 is not AER, AEU, AEV, AEW, AEZ (Each entry can either be "inclusive" I or "exclusive" E). So I have multiple lines per contract that I need to evaluate based on columns in theTable 2.
