Help concatenate fields

Hi everyone, someone could support me in telling me how I can concatenate two columns if I am using the Direct Query connection mode, and it does not let me use CONCATENATE, what would be the option?

I appreciate your support.

hi @Syndicate_Admin 

Plase look at the modeling limitations when we are in DQ

But try this calculation: 

 

New Column = 'Table'[Column1] & " | " & 'Table'[Column2]
