First, access the Calculate Field dialogue or tool and specify the table, field, and data type.
Next, build your expression. In a basic concatenation of the values in two fields (“Field1” and “Field2”), the expression will read:
!Field1! + !Field2!
To include additional text, include those characters within quotation marks (“). For example,
!Field1! + “_” + !Field2!
