CONCATENATEX - but exclude certain terms

Hello all,
 
I have a list of items that I need to present in a single cell on a table which are currently stored in individual lists, this is not a problem as I can use something like: 
 

Itemlist =
CONCATENATEX (
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( Sheet1[Items] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( Sheet1, Sheet1[id])
),
[Items], ", "
)

 

Which works perfectly, however, I would now also like this function to cross-reference another column on the same sheet [exclusion] - and where the [item] is on the [exclusion] list, then it doesn't get added to the Item list. 

 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

I've alterered the columns that this draws from now (by making a conditional column that does what I wanted the filter to do) so this works with my original code. 

 

Thanks for your suggestion though!

@Anonymous , You can use

 

CONCATENATEX (
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( Sheet1[Items] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( Sheet1, Sheet1[id]), filter (Sheet1, Sheet1[Col] ="Q")
),
[Items], ", "
)

 

or

 

 

calculate(
CONCATENATEX (
VALUES ( Sheet1[Items] ),
[Items], ", "
) , ALLEXCEPT ( Sheet1, Sheet1[id]), filter (Sheet1, Sheet1[Col] ="Q") )

Thanks - that raises a circular dependancy issue, I'll look into it.
