If columns 2 and 3 are numeric types, then you'll need to convert to text before combining and pad with zeros.

 

Try a custom column like this:

[Column1] & "-" & Text.PadStart(Text.From([Column2]), 3, "0")
          & "-" & Text.PadStart(Text.From([Column3]), 3, "0")

I changed dataype to text for column 2 & column 3. 

Did you write a measure above?

 

I have multiple fields. 

No. This is a calculated column using the M language in the query editor.

 

Measures use DAX.
