concatenate text with a space

Hi

I wanted to join firstname and lastname and put a space between them. I tried to insert a column with this dax formula

 

Column = CONCATENATE(names[First Name]&" "&names[Last Name])
 
but did not work. Any idea please? Thank you very much

You can nest concatenate statements

CONCATENATE(names[First Name], CONCATENATE(" ", names[Last Name]))

Column = names[First Name]&" "&names[Last Name] should work without the concatenate statement.

It does work without concat function. Thank you. But if I want to use concat function, how can I insert the space. Thank you again.

CONCATENATE(names[First Name], CONCATENATE(" ", names[Last Name]))
