    csalinas23 you can add either using DAX or Power Query, screenshots you sharing are Power Query, add a custom column and use following expression:

     

    "S" & [C]

     

    and with DAX, to add a calculated column, use following

     

    D = "S" & Table[C]

     

    if you don't know anything about the custom column in Power Query or calculated column in DAX, you need to spend some time to learns basics of Power BI.

     

    I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

csalinas23 not sure you question, but you can add a calculated column like this

 

D =  "S" & Table[C]
