Help with CONCATENEX

Hi,

I have this measure using CONCATENEX:

Measure 2 = CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ('Raw Data'[Department]) , [Department] , ", ")
It works fine with a dynamic text box showing multiple selections from a slicer (Department A, Department B etc.). However when nothing has been selected on the filter it displays a list of all of the slicer values.
Is there any way of modifying the measure so if nothing has been selected there is a message such as 'Nothing selected' or 'Choose Departments'?
