Dear

How are you? Please help me with the following:

I need to add to the following table 1 a column which is the union between the letter "S" and Column C as seen below:

Table 1
ABC
1611
2712
3813
4914
51015

Table 2

ABCD
1611S11
2712S12
3813S13
4914S14

Stay tuned

Best regards

    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.

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

     

    D =  "S" & Table[C]
