I am labeling mile points along several different lines in QGIS 3.2. For the labels I am using a field that is just integers so the labels are 1, 2, 3, etc but I would like to add some text so that that for one line it'd say, for example A1, A2, etc.

Is there a function to add the text characters in either the field/a new field or in the label styling window?

Yes, there is! With string concatenation || you can make label with custom strings, or with values from other fields. In Label with field write expression like this:

'A'||your_field

or use expression builder enter image description here

    You beat me to it. One thing to add, is if you want a permanent field with values like A1, A2, etc, you can use the Field Calculator to create a text field using the same expression. – csk Sep 25 '18 at 16:32
