  • If columns 2 and 3 are numeric types, then you'll need to convert to text before combining and pad with zeros.

     

    Try a custom column like this:

    [Column1] & "-" & Text.PadStart(Text.From([Column2]), 3, "0")
              & "-" & Text.PadStart(Text.From([Column3]), 3, "0")

        No. This is a calculated column using the M language in the query editor.

         

        Measures use DAX.
