DAX Text - CONCATENATE function

Description

Syntax

CONCATENATE (<text1>, <text2>)

Parameters

Parameter Description
text1

The text strings to be joined into a single text string.

Text strings can be

  • Text, or
  • Numbers, or
  • Column references.
text2

Remarks

DAX CONCATENATE function accepts only two arguments.

If you need to concatenate multiple columns, you can either nest the CONCATENATE functions or use the text concatenation operator (&) to join all of them.

If you want to use text strings directly, rather than using column references, you must enclose each text string in double quotation marks.

Example

= CONCATENATE ("John ","Lever") returns John Lever.
= CONCATENATE (LEFT ([Product], 5), [No. of Units])

returns a calculated column with values – left 5 characters of Product concatenated with No. of Units in the corresponding row.
