    MK_Aqipa,

     

    is [FCURR] and [Period] of type Text? What is the error you get?

     

    Also, where is your function Text.Combine( )? It looks like you've just joined with '&' which should give you something like:

     

    [Column1]&[Column2]
    
    outputs 'helloworld'
    Text.Combine({[Column1],[Column2]}," " )
    
    outputs 'hello world'
