Concatenate two columns from different tables

Hi, 

 

I am trying to concatenate(distinct) two column from different tables.

I have tried following and other similar expressions: Column  = CONCATENATE(Table1[column], RELATED(Table2[column])) but I am getting same error message (se picture below).

In the picture below you can see what I try to accomplish, and a drawing of the relationship between the tables.

Left is a Power BI table visualisation of the coulmns i want to concatenate and right is the wished result. I have a fact table, and two dimensions.

Many Thanks

Hi,

You will have to write that as a measure using the CONCATENATEX() function.
