Default Combine cells with text formatting

I have a cell with numbers. I need them to be 4 digits long, so they're
formatted as custom, using 0000 as the custom format (the numbers have
leading 0's).
Now I'm trying to combine this cell with another cell, but it won't keep the
leading 0's, no matter what I change the format of the destination cell to.
I'm just using =y2&z2, & I tried using =concantenate but neither are working.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

=TEXT(Y2,"0000")&TEXT(Z2,"0000")
