Combining Columns or Formatting Data

Hello,

 

I am looking to combine columns into one single output field. There are dashes I need to include as well. I feel like I am overcomplicating it but the desired output is in the format below.

 

--Building-Aisle-Bay--

 

Thank you for your time,

Natalia

Thank you for your time @binuacs but that does not give me the desired output. I will keep trying.

 

The desired output should read --G-42-299--

I figured it out. I used a formula to bring the fields together. I forgot that I could simply use a + to combine string fields in a formula.
