    Hi steambucky,

     

    If you are trying to do so using DAX, you can just use the following measure:

    YearMonth = table[year] & "-" & table[month]

    Or you could use this one:

    YearMonth = CONCATENATE(Table[Year], CONCATENATE("-", Table[Month]))

     

    However, if you are trying to create a new column using Power Query, then you can select the 2 columns, right click, then "merge columns", and in this pop up you can select a separator, just input you character: -

     

    Hope that helps

     

    Best,
