I went with the following formula - I think the only thing wrong with yours was that the function in Alteryx is LENGTH() rather than LEN()

You can use a + in the formula tool to create this third column - just note that if you want them to be strings and they are numbers, you need to do ToString([Field1]) + ToString([Field2])

 

Basically the & in Excel is replaced with the + in Alteryx
