Issues "adding" text together.

I am wanting to add a column with some text and I am getting this error:

 

error_01.png

 

local_govt_nm is not numbers -  its formated as text. Any ideas?

 

Mapname = 'Combined tables'[local_govt_nm] +"Queensland,Australia"

Please try an ampersand  &

 

eg.

 

Mapname = 'Combined tables'[local_govt_nm] & " Queensland,Australia"
