Using a dash in Text.Combine

I am using this query and instead of seeing data I get the following error.

Expression.Error: The column 'Data' of the table wasn't found.
Details:

     Data

I suspect that I am not assenbling the string correctly with the dash ( - )

let
week = Date.WeekOfYear(DateTime.LocalNow()),
year = Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()),
strWeek = Number.ToText(week,"D2"),
strYear = Number.ToText(year,"D4"),
fullDate = Text.Combine({strYear, strWeek}, "-"),
Source = Odbc.DataSource("dsn=SystemDSN_ELK_PROD", [HierarchicalNavigation=true]),
gsec_Database = Source{[Name="gsec",Kind="Database"]}[Data],
#"data-varonis_Table" = gsec_Database{[Name="data-varonis-"&fullDate,Kind="Table"]}[Data]
[Data]
in
#"data-varonis_Table"

why do you have duplicated [Data] here ?

 

#"data-varonis_Table" = gsec_Database{[Name="data-varonis-"&fullDate,Kind="Table"]}[Data]
[Data]
