Answer 1

If you are simply looking to concatenate the fields, You can do that using the & operator:

Concat_Field = Table[column X] & "," & Table[Column Y]

If you want to pick alternative values from X and Y and if the there are always 4 values, you can use:

Column XY = 
        LEFT('Table'[Column X],2) & LEFT('Table'[Column Y],2) & 
        MID('Table'[Column X],3,2) & MID('Table'[Column Y],3,2) & 
        MID('Table'[Column X],5,2) & MID('Table'[Column Y],5,2) & 
        MID('Table'[Column X],7,2) & "," & MID('Table'[Column Y],7,2)

If the above two cases are not what you are looking for, then kindly provide additional details, so that we can help you out.
