Hi  @Anonymous ,

Are you referring to merging each row of data from the two columns into a single category?

There are two ways to do this:

The first uses the Dax function:

Create calculated column.

category =
'Table'[Step_Name] &" "& 'Table'[Assumed_Retro_Indicate]

The second uses Power Query's Merge Columns.

Transform - select the columns you want - Merge Columns - select the splice between the two columns.
