Add a data size notation to the end of a value?

So the following will add a $ symbol to the beginning of the value Revenue, like "$ 42"

... | eval Revenue="$ ".tostring(Revenue,"commas")

How do you add data size notations like MB or GB to the end of a value like "42 MB"

Thanks in advance for any help

the "period" is for concatenation. You can concatenate strings and field.
"A"."B"."C" => "ABC"

Ahh thanks. Out of curiosity, do you know what the period does prior to the "MB"?
