It sounds like a concatenate formula would work. To do this in Alteryx, use a plus sign (+) to concatenate. Since you are joining aging data, it is likely that you will first need to join the data so that each invoice is assigned an age first, but it is hard to tell without seeing the data you are working with. To concatenate a field, put brackets around the field name (i.e. [invoice number]) and quotes around any text you are trying to put together.

@sathyaKPMG remove the " from the formula also make sure that all the amount fields are double

The quotes around the formula will turn it into text. The error is where it tries to convert to an integer. Remove the quotes for the formula.
