Hi, @AbdelrahmanAyad ;

Try to create the measure as follow:

Measure = CONCATENATEX( DISTINCT( UNION(VALUES('Table'[Name]),VALUES(TableA[Name]))),[Name],",")

The final show:

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
