HI @Leanna12 

 

In order to do this, you should use the Formula tool with the equation:

 

[MM DD YY INITIALS V 2] + " " + [Note Updates] 

 

This is assuming those are the column names. The name of your new column will be NOTES. The " " part is only necessary if you want a space between the two values in your output.
