Create Table with Generateseries() and a String Value

Dear community,

 

the problem seems simple to solve, somehow it doesnt work as planned.

 

What I want to achieve is the following. I want a table with the following Cells

--------------------

"Please select"

1900

1901

1902

...

2022

--------------------

What I already have is:

Table = GENERATESERIES(1900, 2022, 1)

So I just need to add "Please Select".
 
The data type should be "Text" for this table.
 
Any ideas? I know it should be actually easy...
 
Best regards and many thanks in advance,
Phil
