We cannot convert the value

I'm trying use Text.Combine to concatenate the values from two columns which are both text but I get the error

 

"We cannot convert the value "003011" to type List.
Details:
Value=003011
Type=[Type]"

 

Anybody any thoughts.

 

Thanks in advance

    Text.Combine takes a list and you are feeding it with a text-value. This is the problem. How are you referencing your two columns ? you need to have the result on row level? Then just use [Colunn1]&", " & [Column2].
