Return selected values in string?

I have a column with unique values in a standalone table (tableA). How do i create a measure that returns all these values in a single string that will update accordingly while filtering.

 

I cannot use the VALUES() function because it returns a list of unique values. I need a SINGLE value. 

 

tableA:

1

2

3

4

Try something like this:

=
CONCATENATEX ( ALLSELECTED ( TableA[Column] ), TableA[Column], "," )

How would add in an additional column to the foregoing?    Let's say for example that I have 2 columns: user name and email domain and the table looks like this

 

Col 1        Col 2

JennyX       gmail.com

JennyX       yahoo.com

Roberto     ilovecats.com

JohnG        ilovedogs.com

 

How would write a concat measure that could show all domains in a string that match the names in col 1 such that the output would be 

JennyX       gmail.com, yahoo.com

Roberto     ilovecats.com

JohnG        ilovedogs.com

???

@Anonymous Not 100% sure I understand, but seems like you could use CONCATENATEX coupled with SELECTCOLUMN. But, not sure of exactly what you want as output.

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
