You might try using CONCATENATE with a "" when returning values to make your end result column Text, so something like:

 

IF(Source[Day_time]=BLANK(),
	IF(Source[Day_time2]=BLANK(),
		CONCATENATE(Source[Day_time],""),
		CONCATENATE(Source[Day_time2]),""),
	IF(Source[Day_time]=BLANK(),
		CONCATENATE(Source[Day_time2],""),
		CONCATENATE(Source[Day_time]),"")
)
