Line Break integrate in current measure

Hello,
I created a list of job titles using quick measure(List of Job Title Values), however, I need it to do a line break after each concatenation, how do I do that? I found unichar(10) might be able to solve this but I cannot seem to integrate it into the current measure. Would someone please help?

Sample Data:

Line Break.pbix


Current Quick Measure:

List of Job Title values =
VAR __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT = DISTINCTCOUNT('Subjects'[Job Title])
VAR __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW = 10
RETURN
    IF(
        __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT > __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW,
        CONCATENATE(
            CONCATENATEX(
                TOPN(
                    __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW,
                    VALUES('Subjects'[Job Title]),
                    'Subjects'[Job Title],
                    ASC
                ),
                'Subjects'[Job Title],
                ", ",
                'Subjects'[Job Title],
                ASC
            ),
            ", etc."
        ),
        CONCATENATEX(
            VALUES('Subjects'[Job Title]),
            'Subjects'[Job Title],
            ", ",
            'Subjects'[Job Title],
            ASC
        )
    )

Hi @Unknowncharacte ,

 

List of Job Title values = 
VAR __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT = DISTINCTCOUNT('Subjects'[Job Title])
VAR __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW = 10
RETURN
	IF(
		__DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT > __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW,
		CONCATENATE(
			CONCATENATEX(
				TOPN(
					__MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW,
					VALUES('Subjects'[Job Title]),
					'Subjects'[Job Title],
					ASC
				),
				'Subjects'[Job Title],
				", ",
				'Subjects'[Job Title],
				ASC
			),
			", etc."
		),
		CONCATENATEX(
			VALUES('Subjects'[Job Title]),
			'Subjects'[Job Title],
			", "&UNICHAR ( 10 ),
			'Subjects'[Job Title],
			ASC
		)
	)

As shown above what I did was to put in the UNICHAR ( 10 ) which would then put each item on a new line.

Below is what it looks like.

I appologize, I do not know what you mean, there is no blank after A12, CEO is in A13
Titles are all in one cell, separated by a line break and corresponding to the case #

Why  is A12 followed by a blank? A12 does not have CEO is either table!

where do you see this?
