Combining 2 different text values from the same field into one combined text value?

I am receiving some outputs that all other fields are the same except for one notes field has different notes when all the other info is the same.  I want to know how to combine them in the load script or set analysis(preferably load)?

if I understood correctly

Data:

load Fieldnames,
	 if([data output1]=dataoutput2,[data output1],[data output1]&dataoutput2) as [data output1],
	 if([data output1]=dataoutput2,dataoutput2,[data output1]&dataoutput2) as dataoutput2
;

LOAD Fieldnames, 
     [data output1], 
     dataoutput2
     
FROM
[https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-QlikView/Combining-2-different-text-values-from-the-same-field-into-one/td-p/1707579]
(html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @1);
