Hi Rachel,

     If you have two variables do this:   

          LET NewVariable = $(MonthVariable) & $(YearVariable);

   

     But if you want to concatenate values stored in one table column (Month) whith one variable you must do it into the script using this      into the LOAD:

         FieldName & VariableName as NewFieldName

         Month & vYear as MonthYear

   

     Let me know if you need more details.

Regards.

I hope you have created a master calendar and you can add the below code

This will create a field called MonthYear automatically

Date(Monthstart(TempDate),'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear,

1. if they are two fields then use it like

Load

Month&'-'&Year  as NewField

From Location;

2. And if they are variables then use it like

Let vNewVariable =  $(vMonthVar)&'-'&$(vYearVar)

3. if Year is variable and month is field then

Load

Month&'-'&'$(vMonthVar)' as NewField

From Location;
