Add alphanumeric column

I want to add a simple year and period column to an output but it must be in the format of 2023P08. I thought just adding as a V_String would be ok but I keep getting 'Error: Formula (11): Parse Error at char(0): An operator must be between operands (Expression #1)'

 

How best to add this in?

 

Thanks

The best guess is that you are trying to "add"? two different data type.

Numeric and string fields cannot be joined alone. Since you are looking for a in the middle you would need to covert your year and month to string fields using ToString([Name]) and then add a in " ". 

 

Hope it helps
