Included in this tutorial
Concatenating field values in a new or existing attribute table field
Software version in examples: ArcGIS Pro 2.8.2
Tutorial Data: The tutorial includes demonstration with sample data available here.
To concatenate the values in two fields within an attribute table, use the + operator in the Calculate Field dialog, as demonstrated below.
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!
