Hi @Bitopi,

I think you can use multi-field formula to make it work:

Hi Emil, 

I have tried following the suggestion mentioned in the above link.. but I am getting an error message. It is showing ''Type mismatch in operator +" in the multi-field formula tool. 

All the variables except one are in V_String. Only one variable is Double. Shall I change the datatype of the numeric variable to string? Please suggest. 

Thanks, 

Bitopi

Hi @Bitopi,

You need to change it to string as you cannot add any extra signs to numbers. If you would be interested in adding $ to the number to make it a currency column like 1000$ you would need to change the data type to string first.
