CONCAT (Report Builder)

Concatenates multiple strings together into one. The second string is appended to the first string.

Syntax

string1**&**string2

string1

Specifies the first string.

string2

Specifies the string to append to the first string.

Alternatively, you can use the following syntax to join text items: CONCAT(string1, string2).

Remarks

  • If you want a space or other literal characters to appear between the first string and the second string, you must type the space within quotation marks. For example, " ".
  • You are not limited to the number of strings that you can concatenate at one time.
