How do i Merge 2 columns i have added into a table

[Sean-OReilly]

Hi

How do I Merge 2 columns that I have added into a table using the Add Column function?

I did not add these columns in the Transform Data area so when i go into the source table using transform data the 2 columns that i added are not there.

I need to add 2 columns together where one of the columns has blank values for some entries. 

the desired value from the below extract will be a new column with "VL01" in same for all entries.

@Sean-OReilly , Combine column in power query

Split column and Combine Columns: https://youtu.be/T30H_fe2uAA

Or in Dax

New column = [Col1] & [Col2]
