Custom Column Formula Resourses

Hello,

 

I am a new user of Power BI and am trying to figure out the langauge behind the custom column formula.  Is this DAX or is this an other language? Any resources on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

I am trying to create a text column made up of a concatnation of one column that is currently formated as a number and one that is formated as a date without changing the formating of the original columns.  using just & between the two columns is giving me an error since they are different data types.

    The "Add Custom Column" in Query Editor is using Power Query Language (M query). Please refer to document below:

     

    Power Query M Reference

     

    And you can change the Data Type in Query Editor.
