Hello,
I'm a newer user. I have a table that contains a concatenated column of Idea names and a unique identifier. I'm wanting to have the unique identifier show with parentheses and cannot figure it out. My expression:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type2", "Unique Idea Name", each [Idea name]&" "&[Idea ID])
In this current setup it returns something similar to Employee Documents 70512345678453 where Employee Documents is the Idea Name and 70512345678453 is the Idea ID. I want the Idea Id to be in parenthese like so Employee Documents (70512345678453).
I'd also like to, if possible, add a bunch of spaces between the two: Employee Documents (70512345678453)
I really appreciate any help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can try something like...
Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type2", "Unique Idea Name", each [Idea name]&" ("&[Idea ID]&")")
