Concatenate is a prefix for loading tables, only used in script. Concatenate appends the rows of one table (T2) to another (T1) previously loaded table. The result is one table (T1); the number of rows of the concatenated table (T1) is the sum of the number of rows of T1 and T2.

Concat is an aggregation function used to string / join together values/words/selections into one string.

Concat is used in script and chart.

Hi Josna,

For your understanding, Concat can be classified as a string operation when 2 values can be merged together.

Whereas, Concatenate is used to merge 2 tables. Its similar to a Union All function in SQL.
