Hi, @Yrstruly2021 

May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I have done this in Power Query to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

Advanced Editor:

let

    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTIyMDJUitXBxzGCcIwIcIwhHGN8nFgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Posting Period" = _t, #"Fiscal year" = _t]),

    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Posting Period", type text}}),

    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each "00"&[Posting Period]),

    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom.1", each [Custom]&"."&[Fiscal year]),

    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Added Custom1",{{"Custom.1", "Fiscal year period"}})

in

    #"Renamed Columns"

If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
