I am an absolute newbie to M, and I am currently playing around with simple code snippets to understand the syntax of the language. Below is my code. I have 3 input variables (product price, qantity sold and product name) and I want to output all three of them (multiply product price with qantity and display the product name).
let
blue_shirt_price = 25,
blue_shirt_qty_sold = 10,
product_name = "Blue Shirt"
in
blue_shirt_price * blue_shirt_qty_sold & product_name
This is the error message I am getting:
An error occurred in the ‘’ query. Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator & to types Number and Text.
Details:
Operator=&
Left=250
Right=Blue Shirt
I couldn't figure out how to properly add my string variable to the IN block.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
