Hi, I wanted to merge these 2 columns into a new one still keeping the symbol at the end, but I don’t know how to do that, can anyone help me, please? ![Screenshot_20221210_122113](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/8/08f28a99198386c150828c7da5825a9edce6db80.png) ---

A template column should work ---

Are you using the symbols as units in your number columns? You can add those back in with the template column. ---

Why do you want to merge the two columns? It looks like only one of the columns is filled out at a time. Maybe us a If-else statement ---

yes, they are units in number columns. but if I use a template column I won’t be able to use different symbols ---

Okay, so you’ll probably want to use the if-then-else approach that @Alexander_Rubino suggested. Note that if-then-else will also strip out the units, so you’ll most likely need a separate if-then-else column to determine the appropriate symbol. ---

the numbers listed are prizes from a game, and they are in 2 different currencies. I need to merge the columns to list the prize in a card view so, and replace the current “$” whit the correct symbol ![Sky-Tracker-·-Glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/0/30b380ea5aef020450deb1d82aba59e0c62974a1.png) ---
