Hi  @Anonymous ,

I created some data:

Table:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

You can use NAMEOF() functions to get table and column names:

NAMEOF('Table'[A])

You can use the Mid() function to intercept:

Column =
MID(
    NAMEOF('Table'[A]),9,1) &""& MID( NAMEOF('Table'[B]),9,1)

2. Result:
