Helper IIIConcatenation in M-query
Hi community,
How to Concatenate in M-query.?
I tried using Merge feature.
Tried using "&" too but didn't work!
I've three columns that I want to concat,
Day/Month/Year
Is there any way on how to do it using M-query functions?
To concatenate multiple values with "&", you need to ensure every value is of Text type. You can change all column types to Text before concatenating. Or if you want to keep their original non-Text type, you can use Text.From() function to convert column type temporarily when concatenating.
In the following example, Day and Year columns are of Whole number type.
Text.From([Day]) & "/" & [Month] & "/" & Text.From([Year])Best Regards,

You can use Text.Combine({ first text, second Text,....}) and if you are combining any number keep that in " " for example "2" or "1" etc., and it works
