    Hi , Jyo27 

    For your need , here are two ways in Power Query Editor and Power Bi Desktop.

    (1)If you do not need the raw columns, you can do it in Power Query Editor(click "Transform data" 😞

    You can select two columns and then click the "Merge Columns" in the "Transform" tab.

    Then you can enter like this and we can meet your need:

     

    (2)If you need to keep two columns and use it in Power BI Desktop , we can use dax to meet your need.

    We can go to this table , and click "New Column" and enter this:

    Column = [custom] & " " & [Day]

    Then we can meet your need:

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

    You can try to go back into Power Query > Add Column > Merge Columns.
    If your Day is a number type, you may need to edit the formula so that it is a text value.

    This should give you a merged column with the Day + Day Number. You can delete the two columns if you don't need them anymore.
