You can use any set of functions applying them to fields of the same table.

    method = f1 + f2
    method = concat(f1, ' ', f2 )

    concat(Name, ' ', Address, ' ', Phone)

Just write this formula into edit field "calculation"
When you create field.

You cannot convert existed normal field into method.
Only when create new field.
