It is wired but, it seems like the CONCATENATEX function is greyed out on the power bi desktop (June 2017 version). I'm using SSAS live data connection (direct query).
I want to concat a list into comma separated string... for example...
List:
1. Apple
2. Orange
3. Banana
Output:
Apple, Orange, Banana
But when I tried to use the CONCATENATEX function into a measure, it is greyed out, CONCATENATE is working fine, not the CONCATENATEX.
Anyone have or had this wired problem, many thanks.

Hi @v-jiascu-msft,
I have figured out the problem, it was the SSAS server version, the CONCATENATEX function works with 2016 SSAS server, therefore I have upgraded the server and it is working fine... many thanks for your reply.

Hi @zaforir2002,
I think this is locked due to something about performance. We can check the option to make it active.

Hi Dale,
Thanks for your reply.... I did try what have you suggested and restart the Power BI desktop for changes to take effect... still no luck...
FYI, I'm using SSAS connect live data connection to a tabular model, I think this is to do with the SSAS live data connection as I have tried on flat file connection and the concatenatex function did work.
I don't know how I can do this for the SSAS live data connection dataset...
