Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "2012" to type Number.

Getting Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "2012" to type Number. when using this function for a custom column:

 

      Text Year = Text.Combine({[Quarter Begin Month],"/", Number.ToText([Year])})

 

Year - Whole Number format, values e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014

Quarter Begin month - Text format

Text Year - Text format

 

Why is the function trying to convert [Year] to Number when I have used Number.ToText function?

 

Appreciate any help

    Hi, Reviewing your filter options i saw the year column is already Text Type.

     

    Don't need to transform to text.
