concatenate strings

Hi there,

 

I struggeling since a few days with the following: I would like to concatenate a fixed word "Hello" and a string e.g. the column

maindata[Prognosis] chosen by a slicer. Depding on the selection I would like to display in a Hello A,
Hello B, Hello C...
I tryed this:
concatenate ("Hello",maindata[Prognosis]) the issue is maindata[Prognosis] cant be found, altough its clearly there.
It just shows me all my muessure to be selected but not he column
 
Im sure its an easy fix, which I cant see right now.
 
BR Pete
