Oh okay, my bad!
here is a solution to that:

Outcome = SWITCH(TRUE(),
'Table (2)'[Column1] = "0" && 'Table (2)'[Column2]="0", 'Table (2)'[Column1],
'Table (2)'[Column1]="0" && 'Table (2)'[Column2] <>"0", 'Table (2)'[Column2],
'Table (2)'[Column1] <> "0" && 'Table (2)'[Column2] ="0", 'Table (2)'[Column1])

Hi,
By combining, do you mean concatinating?
Then you can use: 

Combined = 'Table'[Column 1] & " " & 'Table'[Column 2] & " " & 'Table'[Column 3]

Hi, I don't need to concatenate, I trying to achieve through the condition

 

i.e If Column 2 has value then return the value of Column 2 else return the value of Column 1 in the final Column 3
