Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out the proper syntax to combine to fields in a Custom column knowing that one of my field contains either number or text,
when I straight use Text.Combine all my records with number value return as error: Token comma expected error
Can someone help with the proper syntax or potential solution?
The expected result is "[MFG Part No.], [Part Description]"
Thanks,
AP

Thanks for the tip!
Afther a couple of iteration, below is the proper Syntax (corrections in red):
if (Value.Is([#"MFG Part No."], Number.Type) = true) then Text.Combine({Text.From( [#"MFG Part No."]), [Part Description]}, ", ") else Text.Combine({[#"MFG Part No."], [Part Description]}, ", ")
Thanks @parry2k
