CONTATENATEX Formula

Hello, im having difficulties understanding the CONTATENATEX formula. I am a complete beginner in this code writing world but i need the formula to conjoin two columns into one for my studies project.

My task is to conjoin columns "Year" and "Month number" into a new column that would join those together showing a year and month together, respectively 202101, 202102 etc. Im just confused about where in the code should i put the formula and what to write in it. Any help will be appreciated! (Look at the picture below for the table and code)

    "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
    "Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
    "Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ),
    " Year Month Number",
        YEAR ( [Date] ) * 100
            + MONTH ( [Date] )
)

Hi @stefans124 
Just add anew line inside ADDCOLUMNS
" Year Month Number", YEAR ( [Date] ) * 100 + MONTH ( [Date] )

Date =

ADDCOLUMNS (

 CALENDARAUTO(),

 "Year", YEAR([Date]),

 "Month", FORMAT([Date], "mmmm"),

 

 "Month Number", MONTH([Date])

 

)

 

 

(this is the code written)
