New column by comining two columns from two different data sets?

Hi,

 

I have two simple datasets, and I want to combine two coloums from each table. 

For instance:
Lastname in the facility_contacts

 

and

Country in the facilities

In excel I would do: =lastname&country, but thuis doesn't seem to be possible accross the datasets. 

 

They are linked...

I have made a screenshot below:

Hi @Kristofferaabo,

 

Please use Related method: 

combine = Sheet1[name] & RELATED(Sheet2[last])

@Kristofferaabo Another option is to use Concatenate

Combine = CONCATENATE(RELATED(facility_contacts[Lastname]), ", " & 'Facilities'[country])
