'& Ampersand' function to join cell contents.

Hi team,

 

Seems like a simple enough task but I can't seem to figure out or find a solution to the problem at hand. 

 

As seen below when I try to join the contents of the two columns the resulting values are all shown as 0. 

 

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Morning

 

Have you tried the plus symbol instead of the ampersand?

 

eg. [Container Type]+[Standard Shortname]

Hi Andy,

 

Thanks for the response and solution! was simple enough. 

 

I did try that before but it kept coming back with the wrong solution because I had the field setting on double rather than as a string. 

 

Cheers!
