Issues "adding" text together.

[steambucky]

I am wanting to add a column with some text and I am getting this error:

local_govt_nm is not numbers -  its formated as text. Any ideas?

Mapname = 'Combined tables'[local_govt_nm] +"Queensland,Australia"

HI @steambucky

Please try an ampersand  &

eg.

Mapname = 'Combined tables'[local_govt_nm] & " Queensland,Australia"
