Hi Pedro77000 ,
Text.Combine({[Year],if Text.Contains([#"Month (text)"],"10") or Text.Contains([#"Month (text)"],"11") or Text.Contains([#"Month (text)"],"12") then "" else "0",[#"Month (text)"] })Combines the two columns, but first does a check to see if 10 11 12 are included, if not adds a 0.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos 👍are nice too.
